import { Aside } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<Aside type="tip">Has an internal [Grafana Dashboard](https://grafana.alexlebens.net/goto/afit8khiifnr4b?orgId=1).</Aside>

# Purpose

Collects logs from pods and makes them availabile in Grafana.

# Notes

Uses iSCSI for log storage.

Generally unused as I inspect most logs in [ArgoCD](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/argo-cd/) or [Headlamp](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/headlamp/). But this does keep them for longer rentention.

Maybe someday will integrate AI from [Ollama](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/ollama/) to monitor and report on logs.
