Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

List of your reverse proxied services
I also needed to make a small patch to Promtail to make this work: https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/10256

About reading logs
We don't pull logs, we forward logs to a centralized logging service.

Logs monitoring with Loki, Node.js and Fastify.js
Over the past few months, I've been spending a lot of time creating dashboards on Grafana using Loki for MyUnisoft (the company I work for).

OpenObserve: Open source Elasticsearch alternative in Rust for logs. 140x lower storage cost
For log systems you generally don't migrate data. Logs lose value over time. What you want to do is to go ahead and start ingesting data into the new system (OpenObserve in this case) and slowly, the data in the old system will become stale and then you can retire it. However if you need to export logs anyhow, there is no straightforward way in loki to do this. You could run a script to query loki and export it to a file. If found this thread with a sample script - https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/409

Config files of snaps?
That snap is woefully out of date. The upstream repo was recently updated to 2.8.2, but the snap stable channel has 2.4.1 from 18 months ago. https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v2.8.2

i need to visualize all logs from remote dir
Loki
- Loki Helm charts that use DynamoDB

I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup
I installed promtail a few weeks back and I ran into this bug, that has been outstanding for months: https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/8663 (e.g. a fix had been written but had not been released):
Due to a buffering issue, Loki would exit in case of configuration error without printing any error message or anything at all
There is definitely something weird about how the project is run.

i need to visualize all logs from remote dir
You can do that with something like mtail. Basically write expressions that match your logs and produce metrics.
-
Tool to scrape (semi)-structured log files (e.g. log4j)
mtail is a standard tool for this.
-
Free netflow collector that forwards messages to a syslog server?
I use goflow2 to do something like this. I don't specifically use syslog itself for this, but mtail to generate the metrics.
-
How to easily gather IPv6 VS IPv4 usage on a web server?
I can recommend mtail. Here is a good example nginx script.
-
Nginx upstream_response_time average per API route?
If not, https://github.com/google/mtail might be a good option.
-
Sorting a custom metric by multiple labels
Count the lines with mtail. You can regexp match the values out into labels.
-
Alternatives to ELK (filebeat, logstash, kibana, elasticsearch)
If you want to extract whitebox metrics from logs, maybe all you need is mtail.
-
Prometheus Custom Query/Metric based on STDOUT
You can use mtail (https://github.com/google/mtail) for this. You'll need to figure out how to plug it into your setup, but mtail will do the metrics from logs thing.
-
open-source tools to monitor JSON logs for unexpected patterns?
Convert your logs to metrics with mtail.
-
Server metrics monitoring and reporting for centos?
For nginx, you'll need to setup a log parser like mtail because it doesn't really have much for metrics to begin with.
