I have recently been using Vector for a couple of projects (at work & at home) and I’m really impressed! Vector is a new tool by Datadog for building powerful & flexible observability pipelines: collecting logs, processing them, generating metrics, forwarding to external systems etc.
Here’s what I like about it (compared to other tools in this space):
- super efficient (in terms of CPU and memory usage)
- lots of options for data sources (“inputs”) and sinks (“outputs”)
- memory safe (written in Rust)
- well documented
- active community
Check out the posts on my blog for some inspiration what Vector can be used for: https://blog.cubieserver.de/tags/logs/
