Upgrading Vector
When upgrading, we recommend stepping through minor versions as
these can each contain breaking changes while Vector is pre-1.0.
These breaking changes are noted in their respective upgrade
guides.
10 enhancements
The
pulsarsink supports a few new features:- Dynamic topics using a topic template
- Can receive both logs and metrics
- Dynamic message
propertiescan be set viaproperties_key
This brings functionality in-line with that which is supported by the
Thanks to addisonj for contributing this change!kafkasink.- The
kubernetes_logssource supports a newuse_apiserver_cacheoption to have requests from Vector hit the Kubernetes API server cache rather than always hitting etcd. It can significantly reduce Kubernetes control plane memory pressure in exchange for a chance of receiving stale data. Thanks to nabokihms for contributing this change! - The
appsignalsink now allows configuration of TLS options via thetlsconfig field. This brings it in-line with other sinks that support TLS. Thanks to tombruijn for contributing this change! - The
amqpsink now allows configuration of thecontent_encodingandcontent_typemessage properties via the newpropertiesconfiguration option. Thanks to arouene for contributing this change! - The
docker_logssource now supports usage of thetcp://scheme for thehostoption. The connection is the same as-if thehttp://scheme was used. Thanks to OrangeFlag for contributing this change! - Vector’s distroless libc docker images (tags ending in
-distroless-libc) are now based on Debian 11 rather than Debian 10. This matches Vector’s published Debian images (tags ending in-debian). Thanks to SIPR-octo for contributing this change! - The
aws_s3source andaws_s3sink now have full support for codecs and can receive/send any event type allowingaws_s3to be used as a transport layer between Vector instances. - The
tag_cardinality_limitnow includes themetric_namefield on logs it produces to more easily identify the metric that was limited. Thanks to nomonamo for contributing this change! - HTTP-based sinks now log the underlying error if an unexpected error condition is hit. This makes debugging easier.
- AWS components now allow configuring
auth.regionwithout any of the other authentication options so that a different region can be given to the default authentication provider chain than the region that the component is otherwise connecting to.
7 bug fixes
- Disk buffers now recover from partial writes that can occur during unclean shutdowns.
- The
influxdb_logssink now correctly encodes logs whentagsare present. Thanks to juvenn for contributing this change! - The
lokisink now warns when addedlabelscollide via wildcard expansion. Thanks to hargut for contributing this change! - The
elasticsearchsink now uses the correct API to automatically determine the version of the downstream Elasticsearch instance (whenapi_version = "auto"). Thanks to syedriko for contributing this change! - The
gcp_stackdriver_metricssink now correctly refreshes the authentication token before it expires. - Vector’s internal logs were updated to use “suppress” rather than “rate-limit” in the hopes that it makes it clearer that it is only Vector’s log output that is being suppressed, rather than data processing being throttled.
- The
kafkasource now attempts to send any pending acknowledgements to the Kafka server before reading additional messages to process.
