  • I’m running Grafana Loki for my company now and I’ll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.


    I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.

    I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.

    Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it’s been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.

    Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.

    Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.

    This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

    It’s the thing I’d love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

    I feel deeply the sentiment that I’ve been lucky but that’s all it’s been is luck. I don’t think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

    Thanks for this.
