[MetricsCollector] Question: Offline capabilities of metrics collector module when sending metrics via HTTP #5401

Hi, I'm working on a student project regarding Edge Computing and Azure IoT Edge. For this I'm implementing a PoC with Azure IoT Edge and came across following question:

Which offline capabilities does the metrics collector module provide when sending data via HTTP to the Log Analytics Workspace? When the device is offline for some minutes, are the metrics also cached and sent again when it's back online? Or is this only happening when routing them via the Edge Hub?

Thanks!

The latter - only when routing via edgeHub.
