Continuing the topic of AWS Load Balancer logs: in the previous post, Golang: recording AWS Load Balancer logs to VictoriaLogs, we collected logs using our own logs collector in Golang. Now we need to get something useful out of these logs. Previously, when I had Loki on my project, we used its RecordingRules to create… Read More »
The next task I want to do with Golang is building a custom log collector that retrieves AWS Application Load Balancer logs from S3 and sends them to VictoriaLogs. Sure, we could simply use Vector.dev, like what I did for AWS VPC Flow Logs (see: Vector.dev introduction, logs from AWS S3, and VictoriaLogs integration).… Read More »
We use two systems for collecting logs in the project: Grafana Loki and VictoriaLogs, to which Promtail simultaneously writes all collected logs. We cannot get rid of Loki: although developers have long since switched to VictoriaLogs, some alerts are still created from metrics generated by Loki, so it is still present in the system.… Read More »
In the previous article, we figured out what an MCP is in general, and created a basic MCP server that was connected to Windsurf – see AI: What is the MCP? Now, let’s try to create something more useful, for example, an MCP server that will connect to VictoriaLogs and receive some data. In fact,… Read More »
We continue the migration from Grafana Loki to VictoriaLogs, and the next task is to transfer Recording Rules from Loki to VictoriaLogs and update the alerts. Recording Rules and integration with VMAlert were brought to VictoriaLogs relatively recently, and I haven’t tested this scheme yet. Therefore, we will first do everything by hand to… Read More »
