Grafana Loki LogCLI
The logcli is a command-line client for Grafana Loki that runs LogQL queries against a Loki instance.
Requirements: The logcli CLI must be pre-installed on the computer.
Instructions
When running "logcli query" always use -z UTC to request the UTC timezone of the output.
Pass the --output raw unless the use case requires jsonl.
When a user refers to a date or a range of dates, use the 2021-01-19T10:00:00Z format to pass the CLI. Always assume
the time is UTC unless specified explicitly.
To request all available log entries pass the --limit 0. Consider pipe'ing or tee'ing the output to a temporal text file
to run the analysis on the fetched data offline.
Examples
Run a LogQL query against the ops Loki instance:
logcli --addr=https://logs-ops-002.grafana-ops.net \
--username=29 --password=`cat $HOME/.config/gcom/gcom-ops.token` \
query '<query>'
The username "29" is the well-known "ops tenant". The API password for the tenant seats in the mentioned file.
Use the "ops" instance to pull logs for all non-dev workloads.
Run a LogQL query against the dev Loki instance:
logcli --addr=https://logs-dev-005.grafana-dev.net \
--username=29 --password=`cat $HOME/.config/gcom/gcom-dev.token` \
query '<query>'
