Vector to LynxDB

If you are already running Vector​

Keep the Elasticsearch sink and point endpoints at LynxDB.

 sinks:
   lynxdb:
     type: elasticsearch
-    endpoints: ["http://elasticsearch:9200"]
+    endpoints: ["http://lynxdb:3100"]
     mode: bulk

Full annotated config​

# Vector configuration for LynxDB.
sources:
  files:
    type: file
    include:
      - /var/log/*.log

sinks:
  lynxdb:
    type: elasticsearch
    inputs: [files]
    endpoints: ["http://lynxdb:3100"]
    compression: zstd
    mode: bulk
# Vector zstd compression is accepted by LynxDB's ES bulk endpoint.

Generate the same shape locally with:

lynxdb shippers config vector --remote http://lynxdb:3100

Migrating from Elasticsearch​

Vector's Elasticsearch sink can continue using mode: bulk. LynxDB handles Vector's health check and zstd request compression.

Troubleshooting​

If the Vector health check fails, confirm it is sending HEAD /<index> to the same host and port as the bulk sink. LynxDB returns 200 OK for index health probes.

Supported behavior​

Supported: bulk mode, zstd compression, health checks, and _index to _source mapping.

Not supported yet: Vector mode: data_stream; that path is tracked separately from bulk mode.
