------The following arguments are supported:
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
enabled | boolean | Enables retrying failed requests. | true | no |
initial_interval | duration | Initial time to wait before retrying a failed request. | "5s" | no |
max_interval | duration | Maximum time to wait between retries. | "30s" | no |
max_elapsed_time | duration | Maximum amount of time to wait before discarding a failed batch. | "5m" | no |
When enabled is true, failed batches are retried after a given interval. The initial_interval argument specifies how long to wait before the first retry attempt. If requests continue to fail, the time to wait before retrying increases exponentially. The max_interval argument specifies the upper bound of how long to wait between retries.
If a batch has not sent successfully, it is discarded after the time specified by max_elapsed_time elapses. If max_elapsed_time is set to "0s", failed requests are retried forever until they succeed.
