An agent can verify that a unit was launched and never that it is
working: container journals are not reachable, so a diagnosis stops at
the first broken component -- which is precisely the component whose own
instrument is least likely to be legible. This is the store half of
collecting logs centrally so the question becomes answerable.
Mirrors swarm-victoriametrics deliberately: same container shape, same
loopback pin, same self-scrape arrangement. Two differences, both
intentional.
No gateway vhost. VictoriaLogs' ingest and query endpoints carry no
authentication of their own, exactly like the metrics store's -- and the
metrics store IS published under a resolvable name, which is an open
question rather than a settled design. Publishing this one the same way
would repeat that before the first instance is decided.
Retention defaults to 30d against the metrics store's 5y. Logs are
orders of magnitude larger per unit of time and their value decays much
faster: a log line answers what happened during an incident, a metric
answers whether this is worse than last quarter.
Not wired into enableRequiredServices yet -- that lands with the
collector pipeline, so we do not start a store nothing writes to.
