🔍 Loki

You can hunt down Loki data by jumping into the Explore tab within Grafana.

Loki is our massive, horizontally scalable, and highly available log aggregation system!

Unlike traditional logging beasts, Loki is incredibly lightweight and cost-effective. It doesn't waste time indexing the actual contents of your logs; it only indexes a core set of labels for each log stream. ⚡

🏗️ Architecture & Storage

• 📥 Ingestion: Loki receives massive streams of logs primarily from our Grafana Alloy deployment.
• 💾 Storage: We use S3 as our underlying object storage. This allows us to stash petabytes of log data securely and affordably without wrestling with local storage disks!
• 🎯 Usage Focus: Currently, Loki is our dedicated search engine for troubleshooting via Grafana. We are not utilizing Loki Ruler for log-based alerting at this time.
