loki a simple log server
-
simple log storage implementation
-
uses grafana as ui
-
no field indexing (labels only)
-
simpler than elk stack
-
rem start loki log server
.\loki-windows-amd64.exe --config.file=loki-local-config.yaml
rem start log shipper
.\promtail-windows-amd64.exe --config.file=promtail-local-config.yaml
rem view logs commandline
rem query last 3 loglines with dev label
set LOKI_ADDR=http://localhost:3100
.\logcli-windows-amd64.exe -q -o raw query --limit=3 "{env=\"dev\"}"
rem start ui
./grafana-server.exe
query syntax using logcli differs a bit from docs (windows shell escaping?)
