VictoriaLogs supports given below Vector sinks:
|
|
- [Elasticsearch](#elasticsearch)
|
|
- [Loki](#loki)
|
|
- [HTTP JSON](#http)
|
|
|
|
## Elasticsearch
|
|
|
|
Specify [Elasticsearch sink type](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/elasticsearch/) in the `vector.yaml`
|
|
for sending the collected logs to [VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
query:
|
|
_msg_field: message
|
|
_time_field: timestamp
|
|
_stream_fields: host,container_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Loki
|
|
|
|
Specify [Loki sink type](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/loki/) in the `vector.yaml`
|
|
for sending the collected logs to [VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
type: "loki"
|
|
endpoint: "http://localhost:9428/insert/loki/"
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
compression: gzip
|
|
path: /api/v1/push?_msg_field=message.message&_time_field=timestamp&_stream_fields=source
|
|
encoding:
|
|
codec: json
|
|
labels:
|
|
source: vector
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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/#data-model)
|
|
and uses the correct [stream fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
query:
|
|
_msg_field: message
|
|
_time_field: timestamp
|
|
_stream_fields: host,container_name
|
|
debug: "1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If some [log fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
query:
|
|
_msg_field: message
|
|
_time_field: timestamp
|
|
_stream_fields: host,container_name
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
compression: gzip
|
|
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/#multitenancy).
|
|
If you need storing logs in other tenant, then specify the needed tenant via `sinks.vlogs.request.headers` section.
|
|
For example, the following `vector.yaml` config instructs Vector to store the data to `(AccountID=12, ProjectID=34)` tenant:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: elasticsearch
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
- http://localhost:9428/insert/elasticsearch/
|
|
mode: bulk
|
|
api_version: v8
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
query:
|
|
_msg_field: message
|
|
_time_field: timestamp
|
|
_stream_fields: host,container_name
|
|
request:
|
|
headers:
|
|
AccountID: "12"
|
|
ProjectID: "34"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## HTTP
|
|
|
|
Vector can be configured with [HTTP](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/http/) sink type
|
|
for sending data to [JSON stream API](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/#json-stream-api):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sinks:
|
|
vlogs:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
- your_input
|
|
type: http
|
|
uri: http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline?_stream_fields=host,container_name&_msg_field=message&_time_field=timestamp
|
|
encoding:
|
|
codec: json
|
|
framing:
|
|
method: newline_delimited
|
|
healthcheck:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
request:
|
|
headers:
|
|
AccountID: "12"
|
|
ProjectID: "34"
|
|
```
