Promtail, grafana official log agent for loki which currently we used, does not have a backpressure feature, so that it may lose some logs when loki server is temporarily available.
To overcome such a situation, we should improve promtail or replace it with any other log agent.
How
Improve promtail
In its design, promtail reads logs regardless of the upstream clogged. So it is not an easy way.
Use fluent-bit
we face some issues with fluent-bit.
