Loki backed by S3 and queried via Grafana is a good, mostly FOSS solution. Installs pretty easily via helm and S3 gives a reasonable balance between cost, ease, and durability if you're in AWS already.
- ryanisnan 2y agoThat's kind of what we were thinking about as a next stack to experiment with. How difficult have you found scaling Loki? One concern I have with our current setup is the frequency that we need to step in and manually intervene.
- rootsu 2y agoWhat kind of issues that you see where you have to step in and intervene? We have been running Loki for a long time, and it barely requires any manual intervention apart from version upgrades.
- theBaus 2y agoYes I agree with rootsu, we have been running Loki in production for over two years and rarely have to step in and fix things. It's very stable and performant.
- sureglymop 2y agoOne thing that I find hard is configuring the retention time. The docs are unclear and there are about 3 configuration parameters involved. It scares me as a non expert because I don't want to fill up all disk space but also don't want to keep too little logs.
- raffraffraff 2y agoYou can log straight to s3 and use policies there to clean up old logs
