Not directly. Vector is a tool to build pipelines that receive, transform, and send data. But it doesn't index data to make it searchable. You can use it to ingest into Splunk, however.
Vector could be used to build something Splunk-like. For example, you can use it to ship logs into Kafka, then let it ingest that data into ClickHouse, and then use a frontend like Grafana to search logs using ClickHouse.

Seriously though, is there a single OSS product that does all of this ? Like, for a small multitenant app (i.e not "web-scale"), and that doesn't force one to get a degree in observability just to get stuff done.
