Vector
is an observability data pipeline that can collect,
transform, and route metrics, logs and traces. For metrics, Vector can be configured to send data to
VictoriaMetrics Cloud using the Prometheus remote write protocol, or OTLP. Logs can be sent with
the Elasticsearch, Loki or OTLP sinks, and trace spans with the opentelemetry sink.
This integration is useful to route observability data to VictoriaMetrics Cloud for storage and analysis.
For VictoriaTraces deployments, configure the opentelemetry sink with protocol.type: http and
point its uri to <DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT_URL>/insert/opentelemetry/v1/traces. The OTLP gRPC
endpoint is not exposed in VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
Integrating with Vector #
All VictoriaMetrics Cloud integrations, including this one, require an access token for authentication.
The configuration examples below contain two placeholders: <DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT_URL> and
<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>. These need to be replaced with your actual access token.
To generate your access token (with write access, since Vector pushes data), follow the steps in the Access Tokens documentation .
To set up Vector to forward data to VictoriaMetrics Cloud, visit the cloud console , or follow this interactive guide:
