Until now I used vector.dev as my workhorse to collect logs and metrics from systems and deliver them to SigLens. In the mean time there is a new kid on the block: Grafana Alloy. In this article I will show you how you connect Grafana Alloy to your SigLens instance.
Some days ago I discovered SigLens the first time and wrote a blog post about feeding logs into it with the help of Vector.dev. SigLens does not only provide fast log management - no; it also supports metrics. In this article I show you how to setup ingestion of metrics from Prometheus Node Exporters.
A new star is born and my new personal favorite if you have to deal with logs: The Log Management solution from https://siglens.com/ together with https://vector.dev/ for log ingestion. This article describes the basic setup and the state of the project per may 2024.
