Grafana Loki is an open‑source, horizontally‑scalable log aggregation system that stores logs as compressed chunks and indexes only metadata labels. It integrates tightly with Prometheus and Grafana for a unified observability stack.
Use cases
- centralize and query logs from Kubernetes pods using label‑based indexing
- store petabyte‑scale log data cost‑effectively in object storage like S3 or GCS
- correlate logs with metrics and alerts in Grafana dashboards
- run a multi‑tenant logging backend for SaaS platforms
- tail logs in real‑time for debugging live services
When to choose
- you need a low‑cost, label‑driven log store that works natively with Prometheus and Grafana
- your environment is Kubernetes‑centric and you want automatic label scraping
- you prefer a single‑binary, easy‑to‑operate service with built‑in multi‑tenant isolation
- you want to store logs in object storage for long‑term retention
When to avoid
- you require full‑text indexing and complex search queries on log contents
- you need out‑of‑the‑box log parsing or enrichment pipelines beyond label metadata
- your stack is not compatible with Go‑based services or you lack container orchestration
