Agent will fail to start if windows_events.bookmark_path file is truncated

[nazar554]

I'm using windows_events together with bookmark_path to gather Event logs on Windows. If the host system is shut down incorrectly (power outage, BSOD, etc...), the bookmark.xml file can get truncated. Because it's invalid Grafana Agent service will fail to start until I remove the file manually.

Can the agent flush the bookmark file to disk from time to time? Or use a SQLite db instead of an .xml file? And is there a workaround to ignore truncated/corrupted bookmarks during startup?
