Log aggregation in Dotnet with Grafana and loki

🚀 Welcome to our latest tutorial! In this video, we'll walk you through the process of setting up Grafana Loki, a powerful logging platform, using Docker, and demonstrate how to capture logs in a microservice using Serilog, a popular logging library for .NET.
📝 First, we'll guide you step-by-step on how to set up Grafana Loki using Docker containers. You'll learn how to pull the Loki Docker image, configure the necessary settings.
💡 Then, we'll delve into the world of microservices and demonstrate how to integrate Serilog, a robust logging framework for .NET applications, into your microservice architecture. We'll show you how to configure Serilog to send logs to Grafana Loki, ensuring efficient log aggregation and analysis.
🔧 Throughout the tutorial, we'll provide clear explanations and practical examples to help you understand each step of the process. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you'll find valuable insights and actionable tips to enhance your logging strategy and streamline your monitoring workflow.

Hi, How did you configure loki on Grafana, I am not able to view the labels in my loki data source page, used the same code provided by you

[@developingwoot]

I used the configuration provided with the loki image. The .Net Web API's labels are provided via the appsettings.json file. You can configure labels as properties there, but each one creates its own stream. I haven't found a need to create more labels as of yet because parse the json and search for specific properties in when querying in Grafana. Please let me know if I didn't understand the question.
