+# Grafana logging
+
+in order to feed docker logs, which is kind of a big deal in this use case, we need to go through a few steps.
+By default, setting up grafana, loki and promtail, we will be able to see the `/var/log/` files on the host machine.
+
+Very nice & convienient, but we really want the docker logs as well.
+
+
+## Install the plugin
+
+First installing the docker plugin for the loki driver.
+
+```bash
+docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:latest --alias loki --grant-all-permissions
+```
+
+After which you may need to restart the docker service.
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart docker.service
+```
+
+Check if the plugin is installed.
+
+```bash
+docker plugin ls
+```
+
+We can then add the log pushing on a per container basis, by adding the follwing to each docker-compose.yml file.
+
+```yaml
+logging:
+    driver: loki
+    options:
+    loki-url: "http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push"
+```
