Controls how acknowledgements are handled by this source. These settings override the global acknowledgement settings. This setting is deprecated in favor of enabling acknowledgements in the destination sink.
If enabled, certificates must be valid in terms of not being expired, as well as being issued by a trusted
issuer. This verification operates in a hierarchical manner, checking that not only the leaf certificate (the
certificate presented by the client/server) is valid, but also that the issuer of that certificate is valid, and
so on until reaching a root certificate.
Relevant for both incoming and outgoing connections.
Do NOT set this to false unless you understand the risks of not verifying the validity of certificates.
A single value that can be incremented or reset to a zero value but not decremented.
*optional

gauge
gauge
A gauge represents a point-in-time value
that can increase and decrease. Vector’s
internal gauge type represents changes to
that value. Gauges should be used to track
fluctuations in values, like current memory
or CPU usage.

How it works
Context
By default, the prometheus_remote_write source augments events with helpful
context keys.
Duplicate tag names
Multiple tags with the same name are invalid within Prometheus. Prometheus
itself will reject a metric with duplicate tags. Vector will accept the metric,
but will only take the last value for each tag name specified.
Metric type interpretation
The remote_write protocol used by this source transmits
only the metric tags, timestamp, and numerical value. No
explicit information about the original type of the
metric (i.e. counter, histogram, etc) is included. As
such, this source makes a guess as to what the original
metric type was.
For metrics named with a suffix of _total, this source
emits the value as a counter metric. All other metrics
are emitted as gauges.
State
This component is stateless, meaning its behavior is consistent across each input.
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Vector uses OpenSSL for TLS protocols. You can
adjust TLS behavior via the tls.* options.
