HTTP logger for log collector/forwarder service (eg Vector or fluent bit) #58
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are investigating using a vendor agnostic collector in our pipeline and would like to send events to a generic HTTP endpoint, since that seems to be a method that is widely supported by collectors like Vector, fluent bit, and Open Telemetry.
Describe the solution you'd like
A new logger that specifies an HTTP:port endpoint, auth method (basic/bearer), and ideally a format choice (json/syslog/gelf/protobuf/avro).
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm not sure whether any of the existing loggers can be used for this purpose. The fluentd and syslogd loggers will send to a url:port.
