AI Summary

Vector 0.54.0 introduces enhanced vector interface controls, improved network efficiency with default ZSTD compression for logs, new internal metrics for component latency, and major upgrades to Syslog encoding.

Key Highlights

  • Enhanced vector UI with new keybinds for scrolling, sorting, and filtering.
  • `datadog_logs` sink now defaults to `zstd` compression for better throughput.
  • New `azure_logs_ingestion` sink replaces the deprecated `azure_monitor_logs` sink.
  • Syslog encoding transform received major upgrades for RFC compliance and UTF-8 safety.

Breaking Changes

  • The `datadog_logs` sink now defaults to `zstd` compression. You must explicitly set compression to preserve previous behavior.

New Features

  • Enhanced vector top with new keybinds.
  • New `azure_logs_ingestion` sink.
  • New internal metrics: `component_latency_seconds` and `component_latency_mean_seconds`.
  • Syslog encoding transform improvements.

Full Release Notes

The [COSE team](https://opensource.datadoghq.com/about/#the-community-open-source-engineering-team) is excited to announce version 0.54.0! šŸš€ 

### Release highlights

- Enhanced vector top with new keybinds for scrolling, sorting, and filtering. Press `?` to see all available keybindings.
- The `datadog_logs` sink now defaults to `zstd` compression instead of no compression, resulting in better network efficiency and higher throughput.
- Added `component_latency_seconds` histogram and `component_latency_mean_seconds` gauge internal metrics, exposing the time an event spends in a component.
- Syslog encoding transform received major upgrades with improved RFC compliance, support for scalars/nested objects/arrays in structured data, and better UTF-8 safety.
- Added a new `azure_logs_ingestion` sink that supports the Azure Monitor Logs Ingestion API. The existing `azure_monitor_logs` sink is now deprecated, and users should migrate before Microsoft ends support for the old Data Collector API (currently scheduled for September 2026).

### Breaking Changes

* The `datadog_logs` sink now defaults to `zstd` compression. You can explicitly set compression to preserve previous behavior.
