Research direction

Start by reviewing VictoriaMetrics' linked README section on supported time-series ingestion methods, then locate Vector's existing metrics sink implementations and their tests. Choose a supported ingestion path and define the sink's configuration and behavior; done means Vector can route metrics to VictoriaMetrics with coverage for the new sink.
