Grafana setup with

• Loki for providing logs of running docker containers
  http://localhost:3100
• Prometheus (with cadvisor) for docker container metrics
  http://localhost:9090/alerts
• Alertmanager for sending emails
  http://localhost:9093/#/alerts
• Mailhog as SMTP host
  http://localhost:8025

Install Loki Docker Driver

docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:main-d9380ea --alias loki --grant-all-permissions

Run

docker-compose up

Grafana is accessible at http://localhost:3000
The first time login is admin/admin.

Start example logging service

docker run -it --rm --name my-service --log-driver=loki --log-opt loki-url="http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push" --log-opt loki-pipeline-stages="- multiline:
           firstline: '^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2} \\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2},\\d{3}'
       " -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp python:3 python my-service.py

After starting the service, you should see logs in grafana.

Stop the service, wait a few minutes, and you should see an alert email in mailhog.

Multiline

Check the Grafana docs on this topic to see allowed values.

Check alerts

Alerts are sent:

• When the my-service is down for more than 1 minute
• Any message is logged with the content error, failure or exception.

http://localhost:9093/#/alerts
http://localhost:8025

Clean up

docker-compose rm
docker volume rm grafana-prometheus-loki-alertmanager-setup_alertmanager grafana-prometheus-loki-alertmanager-setup_grafana grafana-prometheus-loki-alertmanager-setup_loki grafana-prometheus-loki-alertmanager-setup_prometheus

Source link in alert e-mails is broken for loki alerts

Right, I don't know how to solve it. I think the link displayed is the generatorURL sent to alertmanager.

And somebody requested to support the field in order to allow customized source links.

Maybe this will be fixed soon.
