About
Vector is an open-source, high-performance tool for building observability pipelines that collect, transform, and route logs and metrics. It ships as a single binary with no runtime dependencies, supports a wide range of sources, transforms, and sinks, and can be deployed in agent, aggregator, or stream-based topologies. Vector is vendor-neutral and configurable via YAML, TOML, or JSON.
Problem
Teams struggle to collect, transform, and route logs and metrics across diverse systems without stitching together multiple fragile tools.
For
DevOps engineers and platform teams managing observability infrastructure
How it works
