Restarting the management server doesn't take very long and I've never noticed missing logs after doing so. The restart would only effect management traffic, it doesn't effect production traffic processing at all.
Also not sure if I should try clearing system logs in Device -> Log settings -> clear system logs would that erase all system logs forever?
Yes, so if you aren't sending those somewhere else they're gone.
For a situation like this I always recommend starting with restarting processes and following it up with an actual device restart if that doesn't work to see if that fixes the issue. I'd get a maintenance window opened and give that a shot.
