Vector: libsystemd cannot be loaded from the statically built binaries on Linux

[mhf-ir]

i use amd64 bin file with following config:

data_dir = "/tmp/vector"

[sources.ss11]
  # REQUIRED
  type = "journald" # example, must be: "journald"
  # units = []
  # current_boot_only = true # default

[sinks.out]
    inputs = ["ss11"]
    type = "console"
    encoding = "json"

$ sudo ./vector test stdio.toml 
Running stdio.toml tests

$ sudo ./vector --config stdio.toml

I have to test vector replacement for fluenbit for our infrastructure i see your're rush get to issue for cover it up.
Thanks guys again.

It looks like dlopen doesn't work when called from statically linked with musl binaries. See https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2012/12/08/4 for details.

While we are trying to resolve this issue before the next version, I suggest compiling Vector from source for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target, for which the C library would be linked dynamically and dlopen would work. See the build instructions for details.

Build from source solve my problem but,this is problem in most used linux OS on the world:

Any update on this?

This is being discussed in issue #1473 and I have just published a proposed fix in PR #1526

[binarylogic]

This is resolved with #1526
