Vector Unix Socket Input

Configure the Unix socket input stream for receiving events from Vector's socket sink.

Overview

This module configures a Unix domain socket server that receives newline-delimited records from Vector's socket sink (mode: unix). Each line becomes one event in the Log10x processing pipeline.

Requirements

Requirement	Details
Vector	v0.34+
Protocol	Newline-delimited bytes (text or JSON) over Unix domain socket
Default Socket	/tmp/tenx-vector-in.sock

Vector sink configuration

sinks:
  tenx_in:
    type: socket
    inputs: [your_source]
    mode: unix
    path: /tmp/tenx-vector-in.sock
    encoding:
      codec: text

The text codec writes the .message field of each event followed by a newline. Use json if you want to ship the full event envelope as NDJSON instead.

Options

Specify the options below to configure the Vector Unix socket input:

Name	Description
vectorInputPath	Unix socket path for input

vectorInputPath

Unix socket path for input.

Type	Default
String	/tmp/tenx-vector-in.sock

Unix domain socket path where Log10x listens for incoming events from Vector's socket sink (mode: unix).

Example: /tmp/tenx-vector-in.sock.
