At VictoriaMetrics, we built vlagent as a high-performance log collector for VictoriaLogs. To validate its performance and correctness under a real production-like load, we developed a benchmark suite and ran it against 8 popular log collectors. This post covers the methodology, throughput results, resource usage, and delivery correctness.
