Docker image: [Promtail](https://hub.docker.com/r/grafana/promtail)
|
|
|
|
Promtail is an agent which ships the contents of local logs to a private Grafana Loki instance or Grafana Cloud. It is usually deployed to every machine that has applications needed to be monitored.
|
|
|
|
It primarily:
|
|
|
|
- Discovers targets
|
|
- Attaches labels to log streams
|
|
- Pushes them to the Loki instance.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Set `promtail_enabled: true` in your `inventories/<your_inventory>/group_vars/nas.yml` file.
|
|
|
