# meta-monitoring-chart
|
|
|
|
This is a meta-monitoring chart for Loki, specifically Loki installed via the Loki helm chart.
|
|
|
|
## Local and cloud modes
|
|
|
|
The chart has 2 modes: local and cloud. In the local mode logs, metrics and/or traces are sent
|
|
to small Loki, Mimir and Tempo installations running in the meta-monitoring namespace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the cloud mode the logs, metrics and/or traces are sent to Grafana Cloud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both modes can be enabled at the same time. Cloud mode is preferred.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
For more instructions including how to install the chart go to the [installation](docs/installation.md) page.
|
|
|
|
## Supported features
|
|
|
|
- Specify which namespaces are monitored
|
|
- Specify if logs, metrics or traces should be enabled for cloud or local
|
|
- Specify the cluster name used for the logs, metrics and traces
|
|
- Specify PII regexes that are applied to logs before they are sent to Loki (cloud or local). The capture group in the regex is replaced with *****.
|
|
- a Grafana instance is installed (when local mode is used) with the relevant datasources installed. The following dashboards are installed:
|
|
- logs dashboards
|
|
- Alloy dashboards
|
|
|
|
Most of these features are enabled by default. See the values.yaml file for how to enable/disable them.
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
- This has not been tested on Openshift yet.
|
|
- The underlying Loki, Mimir and Tempo are at the default size installed by the Helm chart. This might need changing when monitoring bigger Loki, Mimir or Tempo installations.
|
|
- MinIO is used as storage for the local mode at the moment with a limited retention. At the moment this chart cannot be used for monitoring over longer periods.
