The sink is temporarily unavailable but wants to keep the rules running to cache the data when ekuiper restart

Please describe your problem in detail, if necessary, you can upload the log file through the attachment:
I encountered a situation. When my device restarted, ekuiper also restarted. However, the emqx in the sink defined by the rule could not be connected temporarily. This is the so-called weak network or no network situation. At this time, the rule is in a stopped state. At this time, the function of caching data without network is no longer possible. How can I solve this problem? That is to say, I want to keep the rules running instead of suspending them when emqx in the sink is temporarily unable to connect after restarting ekuiper. status to collect offline data. Thanks

Please try the latest v2.x beta version. The rule won't stop when connection fails at the beginning. It will reconnect automatically.

Thank you for your answer。If the reconnection fails, is this rule still running to ensure that unsent data can be cached locally?

The rule will keep running but the data will be dropped if sink caching is not enabled. Check https://ekuiper.org/docs/en/latest/guide/sinks/overview.html#caching
