Hello someone has try AWS S3 Sink with ceph ? For me it doesn't work, for example for the healtcheck ceph return a 404 response code for the head method while it return 200 response code when i'm using mc ls, here is the config

[sinks.ceph]
  # REQUIRED - General
  type = "aws_s3" # must be: "aws_s3"
  inputs = ["syslog"] # example
  bucket = "vector" # example
  compression = "none" # example, enum
  endpoint = "http://my-ceph.com:9000"

  # OPTIONAL - Object Names
  filename_append_uuid = true # default
  filename_extension = "log" # default
  filename_time_format = "%s" # default
  key_prefix = "date=%F/" # default
  # REQUIRED - requests
  encoding = "text" # example, enum

  # OPTIONAL - General
  healthcheck = true# default

i set also the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY . When i try to send a log it returns me
Feb 28 16:40:05.185 ERROR sink{name=ceph type=aws_s3}: vector::sinks::util::retries: encountered non-retriable error. error=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Error><Code>InvalidArgument</Code><BucketName>http://my-ceph.com:9000</BucketName><RequestId>tx00000000000000c51a948-005e594265-430c8a-myhost-1</RequestId><HostId>myhostid</HostId></Error> Feb 28 16:40:05.185 ERROR sink{name=ceph type=aws_s3}: vector::sinks::util: request failed. error=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Error><Code>InvalidArgument</Code><BucketName>http://my-ceph.com:9000</BucketName><RequestId>tx00000000000000c51a948-005e594265-430c8a-myhost-1</RequestId><HostId>myhostid</HostId></Error>
Could you help me with that please ? :-) Have a nice day

Hey everyone, just started playing with vector agent on Windows to collect logs from a legacy application. In my case, when the application starts it writes a very long line into the log file (\u0000 on repeat)... what transform would you suggest to use to drop that one line?

hello
https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter

Note that timers will be accepted with the ms, h, and d statsd types. The first two are timers and histograms and the d type is for DataDog's "distribution" type. The distribution type is treated identically to timers and histograms.

does vector support DD type? do we need to create issue?

does it make sense to create an issue with implementation request for prometheus sync?
pros: a better histogram (less cardinality, more accuracy)
cons: VictoriaMetric specific only, maybe it's useful in specific cases only

Hey - I have a small problem with reloading configurations. If the source is http / logplex / splunk_hec (all of which use Warp) and you change the configuration, but don't change the port, I get a configuration error (address already in use) and the reload fails. Workaround is to just change the port to a new value. After a successful reload you can then change the port back to the original.

It's not a huge issue, but I wanted to see if it was known.

ERROR vector::topology: Configuration error: Source "in": Address already in use (os error 48)
ERROR vector: Reload was not successful.

another question: what's the best approach to implement log rotation / truncate in https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/file/ and docker image? do you want to have an issue about it or it should be achieved using external tools? for now, I'm launching logrotate docker image as sidecar :)

Hi, guys! Small question regarding config for kafka sink - I have next piece of config

[sinks.kafka]
  type = "kafka"
  inputs = ["json"]
  bootstrap_servers = "kafka-server:9092"
  topic = "vector"
  compression = "none"
  healthcheck = true

  buffer.type = "disk"
  buffer.max_size = 104900000
  buffer.when_full = "block"

  encoding.codec = "json"

And when I try to start vector I get:

unknown variant `codec`, expected `text` or `json` for key `sinks.kafka`

What's wrong with config?

Thanks!

Serhii M.

@mikhno-s

ok, it looks like in docs is not working example - work well just with encoding = "json"

@mmacedoeu yes! @lukesteensen has a PR #1953 to do that

@mikhno-s yes unfortunately the docs are showing a new feature we're about to release

How do people monitor vector in production? Figuring out that the service is up fine, but how can you tell if it is indeed capable of shipping data to its sink(s)?

@MadsRC_gitlab

I'm having issues with
unknown variant `codec`, expected `text` or `json` for key `sinks.some_sink` for several different types of sinks... It only works when specifying encoding = "text" or encoding = "json" - Problem is, I need some of the options under encoding.

Tried looking at the source, but I'm not familiar with Rust enough to locate the error myself.

Anyone know if this is a known bug?

Hi,
Is it possible to route log stream to a specific Splunk index using splunk-hec sink?
In fluent* it's done by adding "index" field and enabling "send_raw" option. However I couldn't find any example for vector.
Thanks.

Hi, everybody
Does anybody know what TRACE sink{name=s3_logs type=aws_s3}: tower_limit::rate::service: rate limit exceeded, disabling service means?

I don't see any other errors in logs. However I see, that vector reads the log files, but does not send any to s3 :(

@binarylogic

Hi @mikhno-s , that log indicates internal rate limiting. You can raise the defaults here: https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/aws_s3/#request. For example, if you bump rate_limit_num that will allow more throughput.

Hello!
I am using sources = file. My files are in ANSI encoding and contain Russian characters. I try to apply regexp, but it does not work out properly.
If the file is encoded in utf8 and contains Russian characters, regexp works as it should.
Can I specify CHARSET for sources = file?
Can I convert a string in a Transforms block?

Can we use TAB as separator? The example at https://vector.dev/docs/reference/transforms/split/#separator is not clear. Will something like separator = "\t" work?

Or if I use tokenizer to split the fields https://vector.dev/docs/reference/transforms/tokenizer/ , can tokenizer use TAB?

@LucioFranco Thanks for your comments in timberio/vector#2174 Regarding your suggestion of using disk buffer with gcs sink, I have a few questions: 1) any flakiness on the WAN and sink side should not cause any issues on the source socket receiving? 2) for batch, I guess max_size/timeout_secs is whichever comes first, and when max_size reaches, it will reset the time for timeout? 3) Can we control how filename look like when sending to gcs? eg: use one field/tag from the input line, so that different input lines can be stored in its respective files at a certain time interval?

Hi there,
Has anyone here successfully configured vector to ship to Amazon Elasticsearch?
(I believe) I've configured the EC2 instance profiles and Elasticsearch permissions correctly but I'm getting a 403 in the logs:

Thank you for releasing armv7 binaries. The current build setup makes it pretty easy to also build for armv6 (arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf) which is needed to run on Raspberry Pi Zero.

Any interest in supporting armv6 officially? If so, I can submit a PR.

Ana Hobden

@bfritz Hey! :) Hm, you're right! Have you been already using it? How does it run? Some of our upcoming features might be hard to support on armv6, would you be ok with a reduced feature version if needed?

Hi there - I've got a Kafka source that works, and a console sink that works. I've added a GCS sink too, which authenticates -- however, I don't see any files in the bucket pop up; nor any log messages by Vector, even if I move it to DEBUG log level.

The console sink outputs the message on the topic, but theres zero log output related to the GCS sink when I send a message to the topic

Martin Grünbaum

Nevermind - I'm an idjit, batch settings >.>

Hmm, okay - stuck again.

I'm getting a '400 Bad Request' from GCP on my GCS sink, but even on TRACE level it's not showing the body of the response so I can't get at which actual problem it's encountering. All the output I get on trace is:

Apr 07 13:50:06.853 TRACE sink{name=gcp type=gcp_cloud_storage}: vector::sinks::util: request succeeded. response=Response { status: 400, version: HTTP/1.1, headers: {"x-guploader-uploadid": "xxx", "content-type": "application/xml; charset=UTF-8", "content-length": "170", "vary": "Origin", "date": "Tue, 07 Apr 2020 13:50:06 GMT", "server": "UploadServer", "alt-svc": "quic=\":443\"; ma=2592000; v=\"46,43\",h3-Q050=\":443\"; ma=2592000,h3-Q049=\":443\"; ma=2592000,h3-Q048=\":443\"; ma=2592000,h3-Q046=\":443\"; ma=2592000,h3-Q043=\":443\"; ma=2592000,h3-T050=\":443\"; ma=2592000"}, body: Body(Streaming) }

The body property there doesn't get revealed further down in the log anywhere, and then the connection closes.

Martin Grünbaum

@alathon

It seems like the http connection is being closed by the caller before the body can be received fully? :s

I've got a Kafka source consuming from a large number of topics, but I don't have the option to really alter the Kafka messages themselves. They don't set a useful key, nor do the messages contain data on which topic they were sent to. This is problematic, because I'd like to sink them into something named after the topic they were consumed from -- For example in a GCS sink with a filename based partially on the topic. But I don't see that being exposed as a variable? (the topic a message was consumed from)
