Loki and Alloy

Loki log storage and Alloy collection, both deployed through Helm.

The deploy library lists separate loki and alloy releases in prometheus, controlled by this directory's k8s/active marker. Chart versions are pinned in deploy-lib.sh; settings live in loki-values.yaml and alloy-values.yaml.

Alloy collects Kubernetes logs. Grafana's Loki datasource is configured in the monitoring stack. Review Loki retention and storage settings before enabling collection on a new cluster.

Check releases with helm list -n prometheus and inspect collector logs before assuming that an empty Grafana query means there were no events.

See the repository README for deployment selection.
