Grafana Logs (powered by Loki) brings together logs from applications and infrastructure in a single place. By using the exact same service discovery and label model as Prometheus, Grafana Logs can systematically guarantee logs have consistent metadata with metrics.
Grafana Logs lets users send logs in any format, from any source so it’s easy to add to existing infrastructure and get up and running quickly.
- Leverage a wide array of clients for shipping logs like Promtail, Fluentbit, Fluentd, Vector, Logstash, and the Grafana Agent, as well as unofficial clients.
- Promtail, Loki's preferred agent, can pull in logs from many sources, including local log files, the systemd journal, GCP, AWS Cloudwatch, AWS EC2 and EKS, Windows events logs, the Docker logging driver, Kubernetes, and Kafka.
- There aren’t any ingestion log formatting requirements — all formats welcome including JSON, XML, CSV, logfmt, unstructured text.
Grafana Loki is open source, horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It is for users who prefer to set up, administer, and maintain their own installation.
Alternately, offered as a fully managed service, Grafana Cloud Logs is a log aggregation system based on Grafana Loki. It is Managed and administered by Grafana Labs with free and paid options for individuals, teams, and large enterprises. And the Enterprise Logs option is a self-managed logging solution that runs securely at scale with expert support from Grafana Labs.
