Grafana Loki

Loki is used for service process logging and sharing of logging data with other services and display dashboards. Engineers can use Loki as a logging repository to enhance troubleshooting and error tracing as issues arise. Loki, used with Grafana, provides a more user-friendly user interface that less adept engineers can use to query logs.

Grafana Loki can compile data logs for easy exploration of a service and enable quick troubleshooting and error tracing for engineers who may not have deeper access. However, Loki is dependent on the service logging complexity, which, depending on the logger, may not be robust enough and limit the value offered.

As Grafana Loki is open-source logging and monitoring solution. We are using Kubernetes Cluster for our application deployment we are using Loki for Log aggregation of pods logs, jobs logs, and nodes logs, so we don't have to give access to Kubernetes cluster. Also, we are using Grafana for monitoring our Infrastructure, Cluster, Nodes Monitoring, Pods Monitoring, and our public cloud service provider.

In our application there are many points from where logs are coming so in order to go to each and every application and check logs its very overhead so we are using Grafana Loki for the logs gathering and monitoring.

Grafana Loki is used to gain log insights and monitoring tool for AWS and other cloud based tools.

AWS integrations are easy, metrics are easily accesable

Long term log insights need to be thought out and set up carefully
