I was going to suggest you look at OKlog [0] but it seems that the project is recently archived and no longer maintained. A pity because I really like its simple and minimalistic design. It does still work of course and the code is all there. Loki would do well to look to it for some inspiration. I particularly like the super simple install, and lack if the need for some clunky UI to tail and grep your distributed logs.

- netingle 8y agoAgreed - Loki was heavily influenced by OKLog. We really like its ease of use and simplicity - hopefully we managed to get some of that right with Loki. OTOH we felt like we needed a little bit of metadata and index to help find the right logs - the brute force approach of only having grep doesn't seem like the right tradeoff to me. We use a minimal label index to narrow down the search space + then let you do distributed grep... There is a lightweight CLI for Loki too, you don't have to use the Grafana UI: https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/logcli.md https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/logcli.md
- sandstrom 8y agoThat's great. With a lightweight CLI you can run this in development and just use the CLI. Then add Grafana to your production environment.
- zellyn 8y agoThanks! Always love Peter's stuff. We actually have a perfectly viable working system internally. We're just (always) considering alternatives :-)
