Managed Logging #

For turn-key observability into your applications, Planetary Quantum operates a centralized logging service for our customers. This service is included by default and comes at no extra cost.

Our centralized logging platform is powered by the following components:

• Loki (v 2.3.0)
• an S3 compatible object storage
• Promtail
• Docker Loki plugin
• Grafana

Details #

Planetary Quantum collects system level logs which we use to observe customer infrastructure. It allows us to support your infrastructure 24/7 when we run continuous updates and to ensure the overall health of your operations.

Service (or application) specific logs of our customers are stored in a specific tenant (in Loki) which allows for log aggregation and centralization across services and even clusters and (using Grafana) provides our customers with mechanisms to set the relevant alerts.

**Deploy your own Grafana** Continue here [to learn how to deploy your own Grafana instance](/debugging/grafana/) for Planetary Quantum.
