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.

Hacks to reduce cloud spend
we are doing something similar with OTEL but we are looking at using https://vector.dev/

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

Self hosted log paraer
opensearch - amazon fork of Elasticsearch https://opensearch.org/docs/latestif you do this an have distributed log sources you'd use logstash for, bin off logstash and use vector (https://vector.dev/) its better out of the box for SaaS stuff.

creating a centralize syslog server with elastic search
I have done something similar in the past: you can send the logs through a centralized syslog servers (I suggest syslog-ng) and from there ingest into ELK. For parsing I am advice to use something like Vector, is a lot more faster than logstash. When you have your logs ingested correctly, you can create your own dashboard in Kibana. If this fit your requirements, no need to install nginx (unless you want to use as reverse proxy for Kibana), php and mysql.

Show HN: Homelab Monitoring Setup with Grafana
I think there's nothing currently that combines both logging and metrics into one easy package and visualizes it, but it's also something I would love to have.
Vector[1] would work as the agent, being able to collect both logs and metrics. But the issue would then be storing it. I'm assuming the Elastic Stack might now be able to do both, but it's just to heavy to deal with in a small setup.
A couple of months ago I took a brief look at that when setting up logging for my own homelab (https://pv.wtf/posts/logging-and-the-homelab). Mostly looking at the memory usage to fit it on my synology. Quickwit[2] and Log-Store[3] both come with built in web interfaces that reduce the need for grafana, but neither of them do metrics.

Retaining Logs generated by service running in pod.
Log to stdout/stderr and collect your logs with a tool like vector (vector.dev) and send it to something like Grafana Loki.

Lightweight logging on RPi?
I would recommend that you run vector as a systems service so you don't have to worry about managing it. Here is a basic config to do that - https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/distribution/systemd/vector.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 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.
