Seems similar to Veneur (like many other projects mentioned in comments here; didn't realize this space was so crowded!) - down to the first two letters of the name: https://github.com/stripe/veneur

Veneur is more metrics-focused, but might offer inspiration as you work on metrics support in Vector - in particular the SSF source, internal aggregation, and Datadog and SignalFX sinks.

Absolutely, Veneur is something we looked at quite a bit when it popped up. It's clear Stripe was feeling a lot of the same pain points we were when we started building Vector and they've come up with something really impressive.

As you mentioned, it seems they've focused more on metrics out of the gate, while we've spent more of our time on the logging side of things (for now). We're working to catch up on metrics functionality, but interoperability via SSF is an interesting idea!
