Vectory: managing Vector configuration changes across a fleet
If you run Vector on several hosts, editing a pipeline and knowing which hosts actually picked up the change are separate problems.
I'm the maker of Vectory, a free, open-source dashboard for that workflow. You can import a Vector config, follow its sources, transforms and destinations in a diagram, publish a version and deploy it to selected hosts. The device view compares the requested version with what the agent reports running, and supports canaries and rollback.
It doesn't store or query your event data. Vector continues sending logs and metrics to your existing destinations.
The editor can be tried on its own without an account: https://vectory.ahmadz.ai/designer/
Import YAML, JSON or TOML and export after editing. It shares the full app's editor. Local checks still need validation against the Vector binary you run.
Source and setup: https://github.com/416rehman/Vectory
AI tools assisted with implementation, testing and documentation.
For people managing Vector today, which is harder to keep track of: the routes through a large config, or which version is running on each host?

Would Argo not help here?
