I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • loki

    Like Prometheus, but for logs.

  • Loki docs are here: https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/main/docs/sources they are OSS.

    The last contributor to the docs was an hour ago (at time of writing this comment) and came from a maintainer not employed by Grafana Labs.

    Looking down the recent commits I see lots of activities from non-Grafana employees that have been accepted.

    If there are specific issues with contributing docs or code please do point me towards them.

  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • There's also Signoz (https://signoz.io) a YC-backed company but open source with (recently) paid hosted.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • parseable

    Parseable is a log analytics system platform for modern, cloud native workloads

  • - Visualize with Grafana

    (founder here)

  • quickwit

    Cloud-native search engine for observability. An open-source alternative to Datadog, Elasticsearch, Loki, and Tempo.

  • Quickwit is an open source Loki alternative too.

    Like said in one comment here, it works on billions of logs on one modest instance. And Grafana integration is on the way :)

    (disclaimer: I'm one of the cofounders)

  • tantivy

    Tantivy is a full-text search engine library inspired by Apache Lucene and written in Rust

  • From my little knowledge of Loki's internals. I think contrary to Loki, Quickwit uses a fully feature search engine library underneath called Tantivy (https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy).

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  • I discovered that Grafana doesn't share the info how to build custom packages either – https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/30963
