Your Stack for Anything You'll Attack: Zero to Observable in < 30 Minutes

With this centralized observability, you’ll be able to quickly identify and solve problems as well as provide your stakeholders at every level, from developer to senior leadership, a clear view of the application performance, user experience, and KPIs.

How Grafana Loki can solve your log management challenges
Log volumes are exploding, and many businesses run into challenges with their traditional log management solutions. Operation at scale is complex and expensive, leading to massive hardware footprints and a very busy ops team. Simple to use and cost effective at scale, Grafana Loki was created to tackle these issues. And Loki pairs extremely well with Prometheus (and of course Grafana). In this talk, you will learn why many organizations are adopting Grafana Loki, what distinguishes Loki from traditional solutions, and how easy it is to get started.

Yes. By registering, all attendees at any event hosted by Grafana Labs are required to comply with the event code of conduct and event terms and conditions.
What is your refund policy for passes? If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket?
Tickets are non-refundable, but you can request to transfer your ticket to someone else by emailing events@grafana.com.
Do you require everyone to be fully vaccinated to attend?
Attendees are required to be fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. Fully vaccinated is defined as two weeks (14 full days) after the final dose (1 of 1, or 2 of 2) of a government-approved vaccine. Participants will need to show proof of vaccination and a government-issued photo ID to enter the event.
We understand this adds a level of complexity to attending Grafana Labs events, but to make this decision, we looked to industry standards: Other conferences such as KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, Snowflake Summit, RSA, and Splunk .conf all require vaccination. Our priority is to make all attendees feel comfortable and safe.
Will masks be required at the conference?
Masks are encouraged but not required. This policy is subject to change based on local mandates and guidance. All participants will be notified prior to arrival if this policy changes.
