Logging integration with Grafana Loki

Feature Request: We would like to connect our Instana with Grafana Loki, so we can benefit from a centralized (Instana) place to view and analyze logs and metrics. Currently Instana supports ELK,Splunk, Coralogix, Humio and Mezmo. Any considoration for implementing Grafana Loki as a Logging source?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jonas, We have taken the decision at Instana to be able to consume generic logs via OTEL. This capability is planned for GA by the end of September, when you should be able to send the logs from Grafana Loki to the OTEL acceptor in Instana either via an Instana agent or straight to the Instana backend.

    If you would like to discuss this with me further, please comment here.

    Regards,

    Paul.

    Paul Watkins, Product Manager, Instana Logging.
