Re: [prometheus-users] Best way to scrape metrics from a JSON log files

[sayf eddine Hammemi]

As said Prometheus is just a fancy wrapper around a TSDB (time-series
database). Loki, being developed by Grafana has a sleek integration. You
can jump from metric to log file and vice versa inside grafana. Advice you
to check it out

Prometheus is a metrics system. You would normally use it in parallel 
with an events system such as Elasticsearch or Loki.


As you say tools like mtail can be used to create metrics from log files 
which can be very useful.

[prometheus-users] Best way to scrape metrics from a JSON log files

[Yashar Nesabian]

Hi,
some of our applications are generating JSON style logs, for now, we are 
using elastic search to store the logs and show them in the Grafana but 
this is not a good choice to use elastic search.
I tried to use mtail but as their developers mentioned, "mtail is really 
designed 
for getting metrics out of unstructured logs"
So are there any other ways to send JSON style logs to the Prometheus?
