VictoriaLogs Cluster #

The VictoriaLogs cluster chart packages everything required to run a horizontally scalable, highly available log-storage backend inside Kubernetes.

Prerequisites #

Before installing this chart, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

Kubernetes cluster - A running Kubernetes cluster with sufficient resources
Helm - Helm package manager installed and configured

Additional requirements depend on your configuration:

Persistent storage - Required if you enable persistent volumes for data retention (enabled by default)
kubectl - Needed for cluster management and troubleshooting

For installation instructions, refer to the official documentation:

Chart Details #

VictoriaLogs Cluster #

When you install the chart, it creates the following core services and an optional log collector:

vlinsert receives incoming log streams from various sources and load-balances them across remote nodes.
vlstorage forms a StatefulSet that stores raw data on persistent volumes.
vlselect provides the query API and reads data from any storage replica, so adding more vlselect pods increases read throughput without impacting the stored data.
The log collector vector is disabled by default, but as soon as you set vector.enabled: true, a DaemonSet is deployed on every node. It starts tailing pod logs using the default parsing pipeline and automatically discovers the internal vlinsert addresses.

      vector:
  enabled: true
    

The default chart setup is shown below:

graph LR
    Vector["Log Collector"] --> VLI1["vlinsert-1"]
    Vector --> VLI2["vlinsert-2"]
   
    subgraph "VictoriaLogs Cluster"
        VLI1 --> VLS1["vlstorage-1"]
        VLI1 --> VLS2["vlstorage-2"]
        VLI2 --> VLS1
        VLI2 --> VLS2
       
        VLS1 <--> VLQ1["vlselect-1"]
        VLS1 <--> VLQ2["vlselect-2"]
        VLS2 <--> VLQ1
        VLS2 <--> VLQ2
    end
   
    VLQ1 <--> Users["Users/Grafana/vlogscli"]
    VLQ2 <--> Users

Vector #

When Vector is enabled with vector.enabled: true, the default configuration works out of the box:

The default role is set to “Agent” (typically deployed as a DaemonSet with a data directory at /vector-data-dir).
Vector is configured with the k8s source, using the kubernetes_logs type to collect logs from all Kubernetes pods in the cluster.
The default transform configuration includes a parser component that performs JSON parsing on incoming log messages.
- It attempts to parse the message field as JSON, and if successful, stores the parsed content in a .log field.
- If JSON parsing fails, it falls back to the original message content.
The default sink configuration includes a vlogs sink, configured as an Elasticsearch-compatible endpoint, which sends processed logs to vlinsert using bulk mode with gzip compression.

When you scale the number of vlinsert replicas using vlinsert.replicaCount, the chart automatically updates Vector’s configuration to include all new instances, providing horizontal scaling of ingestion capacity without service interruption.

vmauth #

When you enable vmauth with:

      vmauth:
  enabled: true
    

The chart automatically launches a vmauth service with a routing configuration that splits read and write traffic according to VictoriaLogs cluster architecture patterns.

External applications can send requests to vmauth, which will intelligently route:

Write requests (log ingestion) to vlinsert.
Read requests (log queries) to vlselect.

The default Vector configuration bypasses this and continues sending logs directly to vlinsert. So, the chart can now be thought of as:

graph LR
    Vector["Log Collector"] --> VLI1["vlinsert-1"]
    Vector --> VLI2["vlinsert-2"]
   
    subgraph "VictoriaLogs Cluster"
        VLI1 --> VLS1["vlstorage-1"]
        VLI1 --> VLS2["vlstorage-2"]
        VLI2 --> VLS1
        VLI2 --> VLS2
       
        VLS1 <--> VLQ1["vlselect-1"]
        VLS1 <--> VLQ2["vlselect-2"]
        VLS2 <--> VLQ1
        VLS2 <--> VLQ2
    end
   
    VLQ1 <--> Users["vmauth"]
    VLQ2 <--> Users

Note that vmauth can send requests to vlinsert as needed. The diagram above shows a common use case.

Documentation of Helm Chart #

Install helm-docs following the instructions on this tutorial .

Generate docs with helm-docs command.

      cd charts/victoria-logs-cluster

helm-docs

The markdown generation is entirely go template driven. The tool parses metadata from charts and generates a number of sub-templates that can be referenced in a template file (by default README.md.gotmpl). If no template file is provided, the tool has a default internal template that will generate a reasonably formatted README.

Parameters #

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the chart and their default values.
