Grafana Loki is a horizontally scalable, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus that indexes only log stream labels rather than full log contents. It stores compressed log chunks in object storage like S3 or GCS, integrates natively with Grafana and Kubernetes, and supports LogQL querying, metrics-from-logs, and alerting.
Use cases
- aggregate logs from kubernetes pods
- cheap centralized log storage
- query logs in grafana
- generate metrics and alerts from log lines
- replace elasticsearch for log management
- collect and search application logs at scale
When to choose
- you already use Prometheus and Grafana and want label-based log correlation
- you want cost-effective log storage on object storage without full-text indexing
- you run Kubernetes and want automatic pod label indexing
- you need a horizontally scalable, multi-tenant logging backend
When to avoid
- you need full-text search over log contents with rich ad-hoc queries
- you want a turnkey single-binary log solution with a built-in UI
- you rely on complex log parsing and indexing at ingestion time
