Sources are responsible for ingesting events into
Vector, they can both receive and pull in data. If you're deploying Vector as
a daemon or sidecar, you'll
want to user local data sources like the file or
stdin sources. If you're deploying Vector as a
service, you'll want to use sources that receive data
over the network, like the vector,
socket, and syslog sources.
