Problem

I am trying to convert my rather simple TOML config into YAML one, and the file produced by vector convert-config is rejected by vector --config file.yaml due to these 2 errors:

• Configuration error. error=schema.log_namespace: invalid type: unit value, expected any valid TOML value at line 8 column 18

Produced by this portion:

schema:
  enabled: false
  validation: false
  log_namespace: null

• Configuration error. error=unknown field global

Produced by this portion:

global:
  data_dir: /var/lib/vector/

All these values are not present in original TOML, so I fixed the config by removing these sections.

Hi @positron96 ! Can you provide the TOML file you were using as input? Or one that reproduces this behavior, at least?

[positron96]

Hi! Yes, here are the files. I sanitized them a bit added "txt" extension to upload to github:
vector.toml.txt
vector.yaml.txt

vector.toml works for me (or at least before sanitation), while vector.yaml fails in at least 2 places, described above.

Thanks yeah, I can see that it incorrectly adds a global option. Thanks for the report!
