Direct answer

What does the Grafana Loki integration cover?

The Grafana Loki integration is the built-in LoadStrike sink for teams that want log-style reporting events in Loki while keeping projected metrics available through a companion OTLP path. The site also publishes the matching datasource and dashboard starter assets.

That lets self-hosted teams keep a transaction-aware runtime and still route the final reporting story into Grafana-oriented observability workflows they already operate.

Quick setup

  1. Open the sink-specific docs to confirm the supported configuration surface.
  2. Download the published starter asset that matches your backend and environment.
  3. Run a scenario and confirm the sink output alongside the local LoadStrike report artifacts.

Who this is for

Teams already using Loki and Grafana for observability and wanting LoadStrike event data in that same environment.

Why endpoint-only testing breaks down here

Request-only tooling often produces endpoint metrics without a clear path for transaction-level event data and grouped correlation detail. That makes the observability handoff harder once the workflow crosses system boundaries.

How LoadStrike fits

LoadStrike documents Grafana Loki as a built-in sink, explains the OTLP metrics companion path, and publishes a Loki datasource YAML, dashboard provider YAML, and overview dashboard JSON file for the public workflow.

What to expect

Verified LoadStrike fit points

  • Built-in Grafana Loki sink documented on the site.
  • Public Grafana starter assets for datasource and dashboards.
  • OTLP-compatible metrics companion path documented for projected metrics.
  • Same final run artifact still carries report files and sink metadata locally.

Common questions

Common questions

Does the site include Grafana starter assets for Loki?

Yes. The downloads include a Loki datasource YAML, a shared dashboard-provider YAML, and a Loki overview dashboard JSON file.

Is Grafana Loki treated as a built-in sink?

Yes. The docs describe Grafana Loki as a built-in reporting sink on Business and Enterprise rather than as a custom sink the user must implement manually.

What should I read after this page?

Open the Grafana Loki sink docs, the realtime reporting landing page, and the reports overview so the Loki-specific workflow stays connected to the broader transaction reporting model.
