Log CLI usage Instructions

Loki's main query interface is Grafana; however, a basic CLI is provided as a proof of concept.

Once you have Loki running in a cluster, you can query logs from that cluster.

Installation

Get latest version

$ go get github.com/grafana/loki/cmd/logcli

Build from source

$ go get github.com/grafana/loki
$ cd $GOPATH/github.com/grafana/loki
$ go build ./cmd/logcli

Now logcli is in your current directory.

Usage

Example

$ export GRAFANA_ADDR=https://logs-us-west1.grafana.net
$ export GRAFANA_USERNAME=<username>
$ export GRAFANA_PASSWORD=<password>
$ logcli labels job
https://logs-dev-ops-tools1.grafana.net/api/prom/label/job/values
cortex-ops/consul
cortex-ops/cortex-gw
...
$ logcli query '{job="cortex-ops/consul"}'
https://logs-dev-ops-tools1.grafana.net/api/prom/query?query=%7Bjob%3D%22cortex-ops%2Fconsul%22%7D&limit=30&start=1529928228&end=1529931828&direction=backward&regexp=
