Vector Observability Pipeline on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Vector is a fast, vendor neutral observability data pipeline that collects logs, metrics and traces, reshapes them with a powerful transform language, and routes them to the destinations you choose. It runs as a single self contained binary driven entirely by one plain text configuration file, with no database and no agent fleet to manage. It suits teams who want to control, enrich and reduce their telemetry before it reaches storage, and cut observability costs by filtering and sampling at the edge.

Common uses

• Collect, transform and route logs, metrics and traces to any destination
• Reduce observability costs by filtering, sampling and enriching telemetry at the edge
• A vendor neutral pipeline between your agents and your logging or metrics backend
