Beautification of the validate command

A little polish on a useful feature.

July 13, 2020 by

We gave vector validate some touching up to make it look better, and feel nicer to use. This was heavily inspired by the fantastic linkerd validate command.

Take a gander at the new output on a good valid configuration:

vic@sticky-keyboard-macbook:/git/vectordotdev/vector$ vector validate test.toml
√ Loaded "test.toml"
√ Configuration topology
√ Component configuration
√ Health check `sink0`
-------------------------
                Validated

Now an invalid configuration:

vic@sticky-keyboard-macbook:/git/vectordotdev/vector$ vector validate test.toml
Failed to parse "test.toml"
---------------------------
x missing field `type` for key `sinks.sink1`
