With Grafana Logs, you can send logs in any format, from any source so it’s really easy to add to your existing infrastructure and get up and running quickly.

Leverage a wide array of clients for shipping logs like Promtail, Fluentbit, Fluentd, Vector, Logstash, and the Grafana Agent, as well as a host of unofficial clients you can learn about here.

Use Promtail, our preferred agent, which is extremely flexible and can pull in logs from many sources, including local log files, the systemd journal, GCP, AWS Cloudwatch, AWS EC2 and EKS, Windows events logs, the Docker logging driver, Kubernetes, and Kafka.

There aren’t any ingestion log formatting requirements — all formats welcome including JSON, XML, CSV, logfmt, unstructured text.
