Let us know if you have any other questions about deploying and configuring Loki! In this video we're using a demo app called Carnivorous Green House. If you want to follow along and set that up + Loki + Alloy + Grafana, check out this repo: github.com/grafana/loki-fundamentals/tree/what-is-loki

Your videos have helped me a lot. Keep it up! :)

Thank you! Happy you're liking the videos!

[@RafaelDurelli]

Is this the first video of Loki? Will there be more?

[@Grafana]

There will absolutely be more! Jay and I are working on it. Expect a lot more soon! - Nicole

Just FYI, at 7:12 Nicole references a repo link that is supposed to appear on screen but does not.

Hi Colin, many thanks for pointing this out. I belive Nicole added it as an annotation. Would you mind toggling on that feature and let us know if it appears? I am just working on adding more links to the description such as an interactive sandbox with the demo included - Jay
