Use Cases

We have a scenario that users are using websocket for metrics transport. After looking into vector's sources/sinks, I found there is websocket sink but no source.

Attempted Solutions

No response

Proposal

Because websocket is mostly message based, so the source will start a websocket server and listen to client to send messages. We will also need to support decoding on those messages.
