About Grafana Alloy
Grafana Alloy is a collector that gathers telemetry from applications and infrastructure and forwards it to backends such as Grafana Loki for logs. Grafana Labs describes it as combining the strengths of the leading collectors in one program, and it replaces the retired Promtail collector in a Loki and Grafana logging setup.
You run Alloy yourself on the machines you want to observe. It suits people building a self-hosted observability stack around Grafana, Loki and related projects who need one agent instead of several.
Strengths
- One collector for logs and other telemetry
- Replacement for the retired Promtail
- Fits directly into a Loki and Grafana stack
Limitations
- Only a collector; needs Loki, Grafana or another backend to be useful
- Configuration takes time to learn
