This reverts commit 3d7a77bf82.
Reason for revert: relative links do not work properly at GitHub code
and at GitHub wiki. For example, the following page contains broken links
before reverting this commit:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/VictoriaLogs/CHANGELOG.md
It is always better to use absolute links thank relative links, since the page contents
can be copy-n-pasted to other pages, which are located in vastly different directories,
and all the links will remain working.

# Vector setup
|
|
|
|
Specify [Elasticsearch sink type](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/elasticsearch/) in the `vector.toml`
|
|
for sending the collected logs to [VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Substitute the `localhost:9428` address inside `endpoints` section with the real TCP address of VictoriaLogs.
|
|
|
|
Replace `your_input` with the name of the `inputs` section, which collects logs. See [these docs](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sources/) for details.
|
|
|
|
See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/data-ingestion/#http-parameters) for details on parameters specified
|
|
in the `[sinks.vlogs.query]` section.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended verifying whether the initial setup generates the needed [log fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/keyConcepts.html#data-model)
|
|
and uses the correct [stream fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/keyConcepts.html#stream-fields).
|
|
This can be done by specifying `debug` [parameter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/data-ingestion/#http-parameters)
|
|
in the `[sinks.vlogs.query]` section and inspecting VictoriaLogs logs then:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
debug = "1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If some [log fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/keyConcepts.html#data-model) must be skipped
|
|
during data ingestion, then they can be put into `ignore_fields` [parameter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/data-ingestion/#http-parameters).
|
|
For example, the following config instructs VictoriaLogs to ignore `log.offset` and `event.original` fields in the ingested logs:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
ignore_fields = "log.offset,event.original"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When Vector ingests logs into VictoriaLogs at a high rate, then it may be needed to tune `batch.max_events` option.
|
|
For example, the following config is optimized for higher than usual ingestion rate:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.batch]
|
|
max_events = 1000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the Vector sends logs to VictoriaLogs in another datacenter, then it may be useful enabling data compression via `compression = "gzip"` option.
|
|
This usually allows saving network bandwidth and costs by up to 5 times:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
compression = "gzip"
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, the ingested logs are stored in the `(AccountID=0, ProjectID=0)` [tenant](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/keyConcepts.html#multitenancy).
|
|
If you need storing logs in other tenant, then specify the needed tenant via `[sinks.vlogq.request.headers]` section.
|
|
For example, the following `vector.toml` config instructs Vector to store the data to `(AccountID=12, ProjectID=34)` tenant:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[sinks.vlogs]
|
|
inputs = [ "your_input" ]
|
|
type = "elasticsearch"
|
|
endpoints = [ "http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/" ]
|
|
mode = "bulk"
|
|
api_version = "v8"
|
|
healthcheck.enabled = false
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.query]
|
|
_msg_field = "message"
|
|
_time_field = "timestamp"
|
|
_stream_fields = "host,container_name"
|
|
|
|
[sinks.vlogs.request.headers]
|
|
AccountID = "12"
|
|
ProjectID = "34"
|
|
```
