how can I read file with tail plugin on last readed position?

[Alex4ndrKuzmin]

Is there currently a way to start reading a file from the place where reading stopped when the fluent-bit service was stopped? In my application, which uses the fluent-bit C API, there is a need to periodically update the configuration, which causes the tail plugin to stop reading the file for a short time. In this case, some of the records are lost.

That is what the DB parameter is for: https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/inputs/tail#keep_state
