Grafana Loki

The Grafana Loki course is designed to help learners build the practical skills required to collect, process, query, and analyze logs using Grafana Loki.

Through conceptual lessons, guided demonstrations, and hands-on labs, you'll learn how Loki works, understand its architecture, install and configure it, and use the Grafana Alloy agent to collect application logs. You'll also learn how to query logs using LogQL and build practical log collection and processing workflows.

The course covers deploying Loki, Alloy, and Grafana on Kubernetes using Helm, collecting logs from Kubernetes workloads, querying and analyzing application logs, and processing logs with Alloy pipelines. Real-world demonstrations and labs provide practical experience building a complete centralized logging workflow.

Course Modules & Learning Outcomes

Grafana Loki Essentials

Build a strong foundation in Grafana Loki by understanding its architecture and core components. Learn how to install and configure Loki, set up the Grafana Alloy agent, and collect application logs. Through demonstrations, you'll gain practical experience establishing a basic log collection pipeline and sending application logs to Loki.

Grafana Loki on Kubernetes

Learn how to deploy and operate Grafana Loki in Kubernetes environments. Deploy Loki, Alloy, and Grafana using Helm, collect logs from Kubernetes applications, and view and analyze them through Grafana. You'll learn how to query Kubernetes logs using LogQL and use Alloy pipelines to process and transform logs before they are ingested into Loki. Hands-on labs reinforce these concepts by having you build, query, and troubleshoot a complete Kubernetes logging workflow.
