Logging API and Grafana as log aggregator

Dear colleagues,

our customer is using Grafana Loki as a log aggregator solution, their business is linked to it, their SREs use capabilities of searching filtering logging of that component. At the moment they consider using Instana as an application Observability tool and request for ability to export logs to Grafana Loki. At the moment our Grafana plagin can only export metrics data. 

Please consider Integration with Third Party Log aggregators to feed logs that Instana has collected to Grafana Loki.

Thank you

    Hi Oleg,

    Instana GA's its own Logs in Context add on which provides for the ingestion of logs from any source (via OTEL), log correlation, log filtering, smart alerts on logs etc.

    My questions would be:

    1. Would the customer consider using Instana to cover their logging requirements?

    2. Which logs does the customer want to export to Grafana? The trace logs?

    Regards,

    Paul.
