Show HN: Vector – A High-Performance Log and Metric Router Written in Rust
I was dragging my feet to build a log shipper solution. I was going to use Filebeat -> ElasticSearch -> Kibana.<p>This looks great. My primary attraction is possibly low memory footprint of this program over Filebeat. Secondary attraction is how easy it appears to enable transformations.<p>Now, if I can make a suggestion for your next/additional project..... 
A neat system metric collector in Rust that can export to Prometheus with same principles.<p>Low memory footprint,<p>Rust,<p>Single binary,<p>Customizable with a single config file without spending hours in manuals,<p>Stdin, Stderr -> transform -> Prometheus.<p>I’m learning Rust and eventually plan to build such a solution but I think a lot of this project can be repurposed for what I asked much faster than building a new one.<p>Cheers on this open source project. I will contribute whatever I can. Thanks!!
