# 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"
|
|
```
