LS restart is a workaround

Possible pain point: tcp-input is missing retry in client mode. When the initial connection fails, it should retry.

@martinotisatec After testing in 7.17 and 8.15, I can see the plugin has restarted, retried and successfully reconnected to server when Errno::ECONNREFUSED.

We need reproducible steps to investigate the issue. Can you provide a smallest possible pipeline and steps to reproduce the problem?

[martinotisatec]

Good afternoon @kaisecheng, Please provide the steps to obtain a useful pipeline. Does it require to run into this issue?

Sincerely,

@martinotisatec This can significantly speed up the investigation and apply the fix, otherwise, I would suggest to create a support case to have a deeper analyst.
