Losses of event datasets in computing networks can be detected and managed according to some examples. One example can include a system that can identify a slot among a group of slots of a ring buffer in which to store an event dataset. The system can determine a sequence number to associate with the event dataset. The system can then write the sequence number in a first predefined area of the slot of the ring buffer. Additionally, the system can initiate a write process for writing the event dataset in a second predefined area of the slot of the ring buffer, the second predefined area being separate from the first predefined area. The system can detect a completion of the write process and, in response to detecting the completion of the write process, include a write-completion indicator in the first predefined area.
