What to check before upgrading, taken from the notes of the last 30 releases.

v0.56.0Jun 3, 2026

v0.55.0Apr 22, 2026
Breaking Changes
See the 0.55 upgrade guide for full details and migration steps. At a glance, you are affected if you:
- query or tail the Vector observability API in any way: the API has moved from GraphQL to gRPC. This includes vector top, vector tap, and anything that talked to /graphql or the /playground. The HTTP GET /health endpoint is unchanged and continues to serve Kubernetes HTTP probes as before.
- set the top-level headers option on the http or opentelemetry sinks: it has been removed.
- use the azure_logs_ingestion sink with Client Secret credentials: azure_credential_kind must now be set explicitly.
