VictoriaLogs on NixOS

Searching for VictoriaLogs on search.nixos.org gave me no results, so I ran victorialogs from Docker. But at some point I did search for victorialogs on nixpkgs and realized that the binary is built with victoriametrics.

Update: services.victorialogs is now present in nixos, so use that instead.

To get VictoriaLogs running then only requires specifying a service:

systemd.services.victorialogs = {
  description = "VictoriaLogs";
  wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
  after = [ "network.target" ];
  environment = {
    retention = "12"; # months
    storageDataPath = "/var/lib/victorialogs"; # state directory
  };
  serviceConfig = {
    ExecStart = "${pkgs.victoriametrics}/bin/victoria-logs -envflag.enable";
    DynamicUser = true;
    StateDirectory = "victorialogs";
  };

Now you just need to point log collectors at victorialogs and get the vlogscli binary for querying.
