# grafana/loki

> Horizontally scalable, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus: it indexes only stream labels rather than log contents, making it cheaper and easier to operate. It fits well for storing Kubernetes Pod logs and integrates natively with Grafana.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
