A high-performance, end-to-end observability data pipeline that empowers users to collect, transform, and route all their logs and metrics with significant cost reduction and enhanced control.
Core Features
High-performance data processing (up to 10x faster)
End-to-end solution (agent & aggregator deployment)
Unified data handling (logs, metrics, traces)
Flexible data collection, transformation, and routing
Built for reliability in Rust
Quick Start
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.vector.dev | shDetailed Introduction
Vector is an open-source, high-performance, and end-to-end observability data pipeline designed to give users complete control over their logs and metrics. Built with Rust for reliability, it functions as both an agent and an aggregator, enabling efficient collection, transformation, and routing of observability data to any vendor. This flexibility leads to dramatic cost reductions, improved data quality, and seamless vendor transitions, making it a powerful alternative to traditional solutions like Splunk or Elastic Stack components.
