Hi Juraj,

Yes, exactly, it is from PR. This is the reason why i decided to put 
patch as a single file, to easily remove it once PR is merged (hopefully)

I was playing with victoria-logs which i just added to the ports tree, 
and found that many log ingestion tools are broken or missing. E.g.

Vector - was abandoned long time back and removed from the tree. May be 
i will try to re-add it, it works very well on Linux.

Fluentbit - crashing on http collector. I think it is very low quality 
on Linux too, so don't really want to touch it.

Filebeat - that's where i found that it installs but does not work, with 
patch seems to be do the job well

Logstash - java and was very problematic on all platforms

I will see if its easy to get vector back, but i think that having at 
least working beats will be helpful for the users with similar goals.
