Sources Reference

Sources are responsible for ingesting events into Vector, they can both receive and pull in data. If you're deploying Vector as a agent or sidecar, you'll want to use local data sources like the file or stdin sources. If you're deploying Vector as an aggregator, you'll want to use sources that receive data over the network, like the vector, socket, and syslog sources.
