Flushers handle reading entries from buffers in chunks, flushing them to their final destination, and retrying on failure.
In most cases, the default options will work well, but they may be need tuning for optimal performance or for reducing load on the destination API.
For example, if you hit an API limit on the number of requests per second, consider decreasing max_concurrent and
increasing max_chunk_entries. This will make fewer, larger requests which should increase efficiency at the cost of
some latency.
Or, if you have low load and don't care about the higher latency, consider increasing max_wait so that entries are sent
less often in larger requests.
Flushers are configured with the flusher block on output plugins.
