[loki]轻量级日志聚合系统loki快速入门

前言

• 简述：loki是由grafana开源的日志聚合系统，相较于ELK、EFK更轻量。
• loki特性：
  • 不对日志进行全文索引。通过存储压缩非结构化日志和仅索引元数据，Loki 操作起来会更简单，更省成本。
  • 通过使用与 Prometheus 相同的标签记录流对日志进行索引和分组，这使得日志的扩展和操作效率更高，能对接 alertmanager；
  • 特别适合储存 Kubernetes Pod 日志；诸如 Pod 标签之类的元数据会被自动删除和编入索引；
  • Grafana原生支持
• 版本：
  • 系统：centos7
  • loki：2.6.1
  • promtail：2.6.1
  • grafana: 8.3.3

本文以loki监控nginx日志为例。nginx日志所在目录为 /home/admin/apps/nginx/logs/

安装loki

docker方式

PS: 未经测试

docker pull grafana/loki
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/loki/v2.6.1/cmd/loki/loki-local-config.yaml -O loki-config.yaml
docker run --name loki -d -v $(pwd):/mnt/config -p 3100:3100 grafana/loki:2.6.1 -config.file=/mnt/config/loki-config.yaml

二进制方式

1. 官方GitHub仓库的Release页下载压缩包并解压
2. 编辑loki-config.yaml

1. 启动

./loki -config.file=loki-config.yaml > /dev/null 2>&1 &

安装promtail

docker方式

PS: 未经测试

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/loki/v2.6.1/clients/cmd/promtail/promtail-docker-config.yaml -O promtail-config.yaml
docker run --name promtail -d -v $(pwd):/mnt/config -v /var/log:/var/log --link loki grafana/promtail:2.6.1 -config.file=/mnt/config/promtail-config.yaml

二进制方式

1. 官方GitHub仓库Release页下载压缩包并解压
2. 编辑promtail-config.yaml

server:
  http_listen_port: 9080
  grpc_listen_port: 0

positions:
  filename: /tmp/positions.yaml

clients:
  - url: http://192.168.2.249:3100/loki/api/v1/push

scrape_configs:
- job_name: nginx
  static_configs:
  - targets:
      - 192.168.2.249
    labels:
      job: varlogs
      __path__: /home/admin/apps/nginx/logs/*log

1. 启动

nohup ./promtail -config.file=promtail-config.yaml > /dev/null 2>&1 &

安装grafana

1. 创建容器并运行

docker pull 'grafana/grafana:latest'
docker run --name grafana -p 3000:3000 -d 'grafana/grafana:latest'

1. 浏览器访问ip:3000，账密默认为：admin/admin
2. 配置loki数据源
