Careful with Loki if you ever plan to export logs out of it. It can export limited logs based on very very limited time range and search range over long time is PITA if your log volume is fairly medium to high.
That being said, if it is setup and forget, then Loki is as low resource friendly as you can get without spending big $$$ to maintain it.
ELK is massive resource hog and is best kept in cloud, but if storage and compute is irrelevant over search experience, then ELK is unbeatable.
- valyala 2y agoIf you need efficient exporting of any amounts of logs, then take a look at VictoriaLogs - the log management system I work on. It is designed in the way which allows exporting arbitrary number of logs via the standard querying API.

- liampulles 2y agoThe Loki CLI does paging to get larger time windows back - I wish the Grafana GUI did something similar, but that is at least a workaround.
