How it Works
Setup
-
Register for a free account at Papertrailapp.com
-
Create a Log Destination to get a Log Destination and ensure that TCP is enabled.
-
Set the log destination as the
endpointoption and start shipping your logs!
State
This component is stateless, meaning its behavior is consistent across each input.
Health checks
Health checks ensure that the downstream service is accessible and ready to accept data. This check is performed upon sink initialization. If the health check fails an error will be logged and Vector will proceed to start.
