These look to be the defaults (when starting in a docker container)

As noted, there are a number of defaults we could investigate setting to provide a more hands-free setup for host metrics, or at least one with fewer surprises

FYI I'm installing Vector on Ubuntu 24.04 and using podman. Containers are in /var/lib/containers and Vector repeatedly throws an error when scanning mountpoints because that directory is root/700. Looks like mount-points-exclude could be updated to fix that.

/dev/vda1 on /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay type ext4 (rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,commit=30)
