June 17, 20233 yr Hi all, I've been looking at messing around with the Grafana free tier for metrics but then came across Loki and Promtail. There is a Promtail container which I believe tries to forward logs from local files within Unraid but in particular I'm looking at remote syslog for devices like my router and Unifi gear..... and also notice that Unraid can log to a remote syslog server. I've got a Docker container all set up I'm testing which has rsyslog in front of promtail (as recommended by Grafana) which will then forward everything back to Loki via a single client URL set as an ENV VAR. My question is - is this useful to others and should I go down the path of trying to get added to the community apps? Is it interesting to anyone?
June 26, 20233 yr Yeap ! Interested in this & happy to help with the setup if needed ! I was just reading this https://grafana.com/blog/2021/03/23/how-i-fell-in-love-with-logs-thanks-to-grafana-loki/ Edit: Ah, I see you have deployed it already! Thank you ! Edited June 26, 20233 yr by PuzzleCy
July 2, 20233 yr Author Yeah, managed to go through and add as community app. Would seem to be a dozen or so using it. I've been sending logs through without issues.... Hopefully working well 😁 Only thing with current configuration is it can't be changed. I've tried to make it as simple as possible to use.
