Dyanamic Routing with route or exclusive_route

[satellite-no]

Is there any way to do dynamic routing?

example of what im looking for.

type: exclusive_route
inputs:
  - vector
route:
  - name: "{{ .source }}"
  	condition:
  		type: vrl
  		source: exists(.source)

Background:
I have a "recieving" vector cluster sending to a backend "transforms" cluster with the vector sink/source. But since the source for inputs is now just 'vector' it makes routing a little more challenging so I was hoping for a dynamic way of routing these for later inputs.

Hi @satellite-no, that is very interesting use case, but it is not currently supported. The name is just a string as you can see here:

vector/src/transforms/exclusive_route/config.rs

Line 26 in 1d65736

pub name: String,

It is doable though, it will need some guard rails around managing a dynamic set of routes. Also, some thought around performance. But overall, not that complex to do. Can you a new issue?
