Logging HQ

This repository contains documentation and baseline setup of a Loki + Grafana service which serves as a centralized logging component of the Prior Art Archive.

The repository is driven by docker and involves the following:

1. An instance of Loki which handles the collection of logs.
2. (SOON) An instance of Grafana which handles the rendering of the logs.

Setup

We're using Docker and docker-compose which will let you set up your own Prometheus server to make improvements and modifications to this repository.

To run the project locally:

docker-compose up

You can verify that Loki is running by checking http://localhost:3100/ready.

Building and Deploying

The project is run on [AWS ECS], which means in order to actually deploy you will need to install the ecs-cli.

You will also need read access to the following services:

1. Our Docker organization: priorartarchive
2. An AWS account with permission to interact with ECS

Once you've done that, this is how you would deploy a new version:

> docker-compose build
> docker-compose push
> ecs-cli compose service down --cluster prior-art-archive-logging
> ecs-cli compose service up --cluster prior-art-archive-logging

Note that prior-art-archive-logging can be whatever name you have set up.
