Grafana Labs just announced Grafana Enterprise Logs or GEL as part of the new Grafana Enterprise Stack. GEL is built on top of Grafana Loki and comes out of the box with enterprise-grade security, administration, and collaborative features. GEL Enables you to offer Loki-as-a-Service for your organization - on a huge scale.

At Grafana Labs, we believe you should unify your data, not your database. We want to help you with your observability, not own it But what if you have multiple teams using multiple open source and commercial solutions? Not a problem. To give an example, here is a quick demo of Splunk, Elastic, and Loki logs combined into one UI in #Grafana This is more than a dashboard; it's a composite panel with transformations of all three sources Your teams should be able to use best-of-breed technologies rather than being locked into one

Loki doesn't index your logs, and that is a very different approach than popular full-text search engines like Elasticsearch or Solr That sounds like a huge constraint. How can you do powerful searches if you don't index the log lines? After this video, you now know how to use Loki's "filter" capability for forensic troubleshooting. Happy searching!

Grafana Loki v2.0 is here. It's an exciting feature-packed release. Loki's slogan - Prometheus, but for logs - is more true than ever before. In today's video, we'll take a quick look at my favorite top 3 features. Loki dashboard animation created by Dave Schmid

Get a sneak preview of a future version of Grafana Loki that enables you to generate ad-hoc metrics from your log data. This video features a Loki-based web analytics dashboard, which uses the access logs of the popular open-source web server NGINX. Every panel on this dashboard uses ad-hoc metrics created with Loki, well, besides the Log panel obviously. Would this be useful for your use-case? Let us know in the comments.

In this webinar, Marcus will show you how to get started using Grafana. He’ll walk you through the Grafana user interface while showing how to set up monitoring for a web service that uses Prometheus and Loki to store metrics and logs. You’ll learn how to connect, explore, and correlate data in Grafana to gain valuable insights into your application. This webinar requires no previous experience with Grafana.

We went over major new features on Grafana Cloud Graphite (and Metrictank).

Did you know that Grafana pairs well with a fine wine? That’s what machine learning company ML6 discovered when they worked with their client Accolade Wines, an award-winning Australian vintner whose goal was to decrease the waste produced in its global operations. ML6 used Grafana and machine learning to reduce wine waste and deliver a 200% ROI for Accolade Wines in the first six months, reducing the company’s financial loss by an estimated £75,000.

Which range to use in a Prometheus rate query is already a bit of rocket science. When Grafana enters the game to visualize the result of such a query, things get even more interesting. In most cases, you’ll end up with a dynamic range, but navigating the many available settings for it is sometimes a bit daunting. But do not despair, this talk will teach you all you have to know, even in case when you add to the mix recording rules, which are blissfully ignorant of any dynamic range requested by Grafana.
