  • Ooh, ooh! I've got another option for this kind of situation! Check out Vector.dev. It's a lot like promtail, but you can set up Vector agents federated. You can put one on each network and have them communicate between each other, then pass the logs up the chain to Loki. Of course, in this case you're probably better off seeking a lower level/infrastructure solution, but Vector is super handy for situations where Promtail just doesn't have the specific functionality you need. I've been using Vector instead of Promtail for a couple years now and it's absolutely fantastic. The devs are also very responsive and have helped me solve a number of issues.
