The Log Pipeline collects structured logs from every service, ships them through Vector for parsing and enrichment, and stores them in Grafana Loki for fast, label-indexed search.
Index labels, not lines
Loki indexes only a small set of labels (service, level, region) and stores the log body compressed. That keeps ingest cheap at 200k lines/s while still letting you grep within a label stream.
trace_id for correlation.Every log line carries the trace_id so a noisy error can jump straight into
the Trace Pipeline
for the full request story. Hot logs are retained 30d.
