Loki

Cost-effective log indexing, aggregation, and storage

Grafana Loki is a log aggregation system designed for cost-effectiveness. Loki indexes only logs’ metadata (labels) while compressing the full-fidelity log data in chunks for storage in low-cost object stores.

How to get data flowing

This is a built-in integration between Cribl Stream and Loki.

  1. Configure Loki to start sending messages to LogStream.

  2. Configure Stream to ingest Loki data, via Sources > Loki.

  3. Specify the address, port, API endpoint, optional authentication credentials and TLS settings, and other optional parameters.

  4. Stream will start fetching data as it becomes available.
