Can vector ignore configuration errors on launch?

[Quyzi]

Can I configure vector to ignore errors in some configuration files on launch?

I launch vector with /usr/bin/vector --config-dir /etc/vector --watch-config as a kube sidecar.

Use case here is I have one main configuration that provides common sinks and transforms that changes infrequently at /etc/vector/main.yaml. I also have many /etc/vector/*.yaml configuration files that do change frequently, and rely on the main configuration.

A bad configuration file would cause the container to fail and the pods would crash loop. I'd like to launch vector to only require main.yaml to be valid, and ignore config files with errors. Can this be done?

Hi @Quyzi !

Unfortunately currently vector requires the entire configuration to be valid.

I'd recommend opening a feature request for the ability to ignore configuration errors on parts of the config.
