Context
We are migrating from an ELK stack to a Loki/Promtail/Grafana (LPG?) stack, and we are evaluating Grafana Cloud Loki versus self-managed OSS Loki in Docker.
As such, and coming from ELK, we’re still using Filebeat and Logstash. We removed the Elasticsearch output from Logstash, and added outputs to both our on-prem OSS Loki and Grafana Cloud Loki (currently the free tier).
Problem
We have seen times when the on-prem Loki is getting data from Logstash, but Cloud Loki is not. You can see from this 90 minute window the differences.
On Prem:
Cloud:
We don’t have indications that something else is causing this issue (network, etc…), although that’s always a possibility.
Question
Is there some throttling or limitation applied to Grafana Cloud Loki (free version or paid) that would cause this? And if so, is there a way to find or verify that we’re hitting these limits?
Many thanks!
