Strange logs from vector，Is this normal?

[SongJinZe1]

I deployed 4 instances of Vector using systemd, and when I checked /var/log/messages, one of the Vector instances outputted strange logs. Is this coming from Vector? Is it an Easter egg?

Hi @SongJinZe1 ,

This is from the example configuration file that ships with Vector that can be found in /etc/vector/vector.toml. We've discussed removing that (see #15513) since it is a bit confusing. Hopefully this helps clear it up for you though!

For anyone that runs into this, it moved from /etc/vector/vector.toml to /etc/vector/vector.yaml.

Configuration moved to /etc/vector/vector.yaml
You can specify configuration location via

    environment:
      - VECTOR_CONFIG=/etc/vector/vector.toml

in docker-compose.yml
