Message processing guranties for http_client source

[DmitryLukyanov]

Is there any build-in mechanism or recommendation I can use to ensure that if I send data from http_client source it will be either delivered to sink or placed into some flow like dead-letter queue (let's say all configured retries for datadog logs sink are exceeded).

Hi @DmitryLukyanov, I think you are looking for https://vector.dev/docs/about/under-the-hood/architecture/end-to-end-acknowledgements/.

Unfortunately we don't support dead letter queues yet but it an amazing and a highly requested idea (see #1772).

Thanks @pront for your answer. As I understand not all sources support end to end acknowledgements. So my question was specific to sources like http_client that doesn't support it.
