Overview

When trying to send logs to Loki, the log stream does not allow setting basic authentication parameters.

When trying to put them inline it also seems to not work:

Payload URL: https://244184:@logs-prod3.grafana.net/loki/api/v1/push

Loki uses basic authentication for incoming push.

This article explains why this is happening and details how to get it working.

Applies To

  • Loki
  • Stream Logs

Cause

For the time being, Auth0 does not provide the facility to stream logs to Loki.

Solution

There is a workaround to this problem. In order to push log streams to Loki, use the fluentd, which is a log routing system.

Stand up a fluentd http input source, and send the logs to Loki by using the Loki fluentd output plugin.
