I really want to like vector, but its lack of basic support for things like Windows logs is painful.

Fluentbit is Fluentd's lightweight alternative to itself.

There are some things that are much more valuable than raw speed but that's an aspect something every collector I've gone through was somewhat lacking.

I think vector could be a very decent middle ground in the performance / safety space.

Last time I went through the code I concluded that it was a bit lacking but that's definitely something that can be (and probable is being) improved.

Side note : their documentation is really nice!

There's also Flowgger: https://github.com/awslabs/flowgger

Heavily used by OVH to process terabytes of log data per day. Likely used by AWS as well now.
