Grafana Loki Log Aggregation Agent
Configures Grafana Loki log pipelines with Promtail collectors and LogQL queries. Supports multi-tenant log routing, retention policies, and correlation with Grafana Tempo traces.
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- $ git clone https://github.com/grafana/loki
- Alternatively, on Unix systems you can use make to build the binary, which adds additional arguments to the go build command.
- $ make loki
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Docker Driver Client is a Docker plugin to send logs directly to Loki from Docker containers.
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
does not do full text indexing on logs. By storing compressed, unstructured logs and only indexing metadata, Loki is simpler to operate and cheaper to run.
