## How it works

[Azure logs Alloy architecture: Azure Monitor to Event Hub with Kafka endpoint, Alloy pulls logs and pushes to Grafana Cloud Loki](cp-olly-viz-azure-logs-alloy-light.svg "Azure logs Alloy architecture: Azure Monitor to Event Hub with Kafka endpoint, Alloy pulls logs and pushes to Grafana Cloud Loki")

**Complexity:** Flexible | **Infrastructure:** VM, ACI, or AKS | **Latency:** Configurable

## Trade-offs

| Pros                        | Cons                       |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------|
| Pull from Event Hub (Kafka) | Deploy and manage Alloy    |
| Full processing pipeline    | Infrastructure to maintain |
| Managed identity auth       | Event Hub setup required   |
| Combined metrics + logs     |                            |

## When to use

- Complex processing needs
- Event Hub log sources
- Combined metrics + logs collection
