The future (and past and present) of Loki

In a perfect follow-up to the release of Loki v1.5.0, Loki tech lead Ed Welch and Loki maintainer Cyril Tovena teamed up for a presentation about the history of the project, what’s new right now, and what’s next – including query parallelization testing of 40GBs/s and an expansion of the LogQL query language.

Check out their presentation here.

Storytelling through dashboards

Julien Pivotto, an open source consultant at Inuits and a Prometheus maintainer, discussed the power of graph representations in Grafana. He emphasized the importance of making dashboards that tell stories and can be read by many different people. He then shared tips on how to visualize different situations and make them easy to read by using advanced features in Grafana.
