* Many collectors don't support forwarding url query params to the remote system. It makes impossible to define stream fields for it. Workaround with proxy between VictoriaLogs and log shipper is too complicated solution.
* This commit adds the following changes:
* Adds fallback to to headers params, if query param is empty for:
_msg_field -> VL-Msg-Field
_stream_fields -> VL-Stream-Fields
_ignore_fields -> VL-Ignore-Fields
_time_field -> VL-Time-Field
* removes deprecations from victorialogs compose files, added more
output format examples for logstash, telegraf, fluent-bit

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"
|
|
```
