Happy to help! And thanks for letting me know it (mostly) worked. I guess I have some debugging to do on that environment variable. :)

One last thing... make sure you run this to get Vector to start after a reboot:

sudo systemctl enable vector.service

I put that in the gist after I sent the last email to you, so you may have done that already, but you may not have, and it doesn't hurt to do it twice. :)

Oh, and about the log prefix you mentioned... look in config/environments/production.rb for config.log_tags and comment that out. That's probably what's adding that stuff to your logs.

Ben Holmes, enrola

"Honeybadger's uptime monitoring, SLS/TLS validation, status page, and heartbeat features are really compelling and brilliant additions that will save me development time."

Sean Limes, Affinisense Labs

"Just replaced Sentry with Honeybadger and I'm loving it so far."

Paul Barry, Spark Golf

"Honeybadger fits me better. It's a simpler product, obvious how to use, and aimed at small companies who care for each customer."
