"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's GUI. The solution's GUI is very user-friendly."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"It would be beneficial to have some level of customization available in the managed service, tailored to the specific use cases of the end users."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"We encountered certain limitations when it came to alerting, particularly when dealing with specific data sources."
"We had a well-structured dashboard with a functional query. However, an issue arose when the Kubernetes pod restarted. The statistics from our Grafana query would reset, dropping to zero and starting anew. This was particularly noticeable with linear graphs, which are expected to show consistent growth."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"Visualization-wise, Grafana Loki's dashboard looks a little outdated compared to other open-source visualization tools like Chronograf."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
