How it Works
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.
Context
By default, the vector source augments events with helpful
context keys.
