info:
  title: Vector Observability Health API
  description: 'Vector is a high-performance observability data pipeline for collecting, transforming, and routing logs, metrics, and traces. The Vector Observability API provides HTTP endpoints for health checks and gRPC endpoints for component management, event streaming, and pipeline observability. The API must be explicitly enabled in Vector configuration (api.enabled: true) and binds to 127.0.0.1:8686 by default. The API does not currently support authentication and should only be enabled in isolated environments.'
