Andrii Chubatiuk d5fe4566e5 app/vlinsert: support getting _msg_field, _time_field, _stream_fields and _ignore_fields from headers * Many collectors don't support forwarding url query params to the remote system. It makes impossible to define stream fields for it. Workaround with proxy between VictoriaLogs and log shipper is too complicated solution. * This commit adds the following changes: * Adds fallback to to headers params, if query param is empty for: _msg_field -> VL-Msg-Field _stream_fields -> VL-Stream-Fields _ignore_fields -> VL-Ignore-Fields _time_field -> VL-Time-Field * removes deprecations from victorialogs compose files, added more output format examples for logstash, telegraf, fluent-bit related issue: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5310		2024-09-03 20:24:00 +02:00
