How it works
Sending metrics from multiple Vector instances
When sending
internal_metrics
from multiple Vector instances
to the same destination, you will typically want to tag the
metrics with a tag that is unique to the Vector instance sending
the metrics to avoid the metric series conflicting. The
tags.host_key
option can be used for this, but you can also
use a subsequent remap
transform to add a different unique
tag from the environment.
