The Loki 2.0.0 version has been released, and the release team stated that they are excited about the new features in 2.0.0, which opens up a whole new world of observability in logs.
Loki is a highly available, scalable, and multi-tenant log aggregation system. Loki focuses on logs and obtains log information through client push. Compared with other log systems, its advantages include that it saves resources and provides log compression; no Add the full text to the index, but add the label to the index; it is very suitable for storing and searching Kubernetes Pod logs.
Major improvements in 2.0
LogQL query statement is significantly enhanced:
- Replace the original filter expression with log pipeline, which further enhances the pipeline function during log query.
-
The new log pipeline includes several expressions: Line Filter Expression; Parser Expression; Label Filter Expression; Format Expression; Metrics (Log measurement).
Support log warning:
Create an alert using the same syntax rules as Prometheus, and then let Loki send the alert directly to Prometheus Alertmanager.
Production-level boltdb-shipper support:
Now, Loki only needs one storage object (S3, GCS, file system...) to store all the data, instead of Cassandra, DynamoDB or Bigtable.
