About

Simple docker compose set of Grafana, Loki, and Promtail. Also, a log generator pushes random log data to Loki via a Promtail sidecar for demonstrating pipelines.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• (optional) RestClient

End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo.

Usage

• docker compose up
• Create the Loki datasource (one of the following):
  • Run .\create-datasource.ps1
  • Use the snippet in the create-datasource.http along with the recommended RestClient to create the datasource.
  • (optional) If you did not use the automation above, you can manually add a datasource in Grafana of type "Loki" and point it to http://loki:3100/.
• Navigate to Grafana at http://localhost:3000.
