Send logs anyway, anywhere

You can send logs in any format, from any source so it’s really easy to add to your existing infrastructure and get up and running quickly.

Leverage a wide array of clients for shipping logs like Promtail, Fluentbit, Fluentd, Vector, Logstash, and the Grafana Agent, as well as a host of unofficial clients.
Use Promtail to pull in logs from many sources, including local log files, the systemd journal, GCP, AWS Cloudwatch, AWS EC2 and EKS, Windows events logs, the Docker logging driver, Kubernetes, and Kafka.
There aren’t any ingestion log formatting requirements — all formats welcome including JSON, XML, CSV, logfmt, unstructured text.

Flexible & cost-effective scale

Loki takes a unique approach by only indexing the metadata rather than the full text of the log lines. Loki’s minimal indexing approach means that storing the same set of logs in Loki requires far less storage than with other solutions

Log any and all formats
Fast writes
Tiny indexes
Cheaper to run
Simpler to operate
Fast queries
Cut and slice your logs in dynamic ways (Flexible)

A powerful and flexible query language

Grafana Logs uses a similar label format and query language to Prometheus, making it easier to learn and faster to switch between metrics and logs when diagnosing an issue.

Query logs with the same syntax used for querying metrics
Write log queries that allow you to dynamically filter and transform your log lines
Easily calculate metrics from your logs, like the rate of errors or top K sources with the highest log volume
Minimal indexing at ingest time means you can slice and dice your logs dynamically at query time to answer new questions as they arise
