Introduction

Welcome to the STACKIT Logs service. This product delivers centralized log management as a service.

STACKIT Logs is built on Grafana Loki, a modern log aggregation system optimized for speed, scalability, and cost efficiency. It allows you to collect, store, and query log data from your applications and infrastructure in real time. With support for widely used agents like Promtail, Fluentd, and the OpenTelemetry Collector, STACKIT Logs integrates seamlessly into existing observability setups.

Why does this matter? Because logs are essential for understanding system behavior. Whether you’re troubleshooting issues, monitoring performance, or tracking security events, STACKIT Logs provides a unified and efficient way to analyze your data — fully integrated with Grafana for powerful visualizations and dashboards.

STACKIT Logs automatically handles scaling, maintenance, and availability so you can focus on your applications. Adjustable retention periods help you align storage duration with cost and compliance requirements.

This documentation enables you to use the full potential of STACKIT Logs. The Getting Started section guides you through creating your first Logs instance.
