# Grafana Alloy
Unified observability collector for metrics and logs with two deployments:
1. **Indri (host)** - System metrics and service logs from macOS host
2. **Kubernetes (DaemonSet)** - Automatic pod log collection and service health probes
## Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Indri Binary** | `~/.local/bin/alloy` |
| **Indri Config** | `~/.config/grafana-alloy/config.alloy` |
| **K8s Namespace** | `alloy` |
| **K8s Image** | `grafana/alloy:v1.8.2` |
| **ArgoCD App** | `alloy-k8s` |
## Metrics Collected
### From Indri
- System metrics via `prometheus.exporter.unix`
- Textfile collector: `minikube.prom`, `borgmatic.prom`, `zot.prom`, `jellyfin.prom`
- Zot registry metrics from `http://localhost:5050/metrics`
Switch to title-based wiki-links (#91) ## Summary - Remove aliases from all zk cards to prevent them from capturing wiki-links - Convert all wiki-links from `[[filename|Title]]` to `[[Title]]` format - Replace `doc-filenames` task with `doc-titles` for duplicate title detection - Update pre-commit hook to use `doc-titles` Wiki-links now resolve to reference docs by their frontmatter title, which is more readable and maintainable than filename-based links. ## Deployment and Testing - [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (including new `doc-titles` check) - [x] Manually verified zk cards have aliases removed - [ ] Deploy docs v1.0.7 and verify wiki-links resolve correctly - [ ] Test links to reference docs (e.g., [[Grafana Alloy]], [[ArgoCD]]) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/91

## Why Built from Source
The Homebrew bottle uses `CGO_ENABLED=0`, which breaks Tailscale MagicDNS. Building with `CGO_ENABLED=1` uses the macOS native resolver.
**Note:** This may no longer be needed now that services use `*.ops.eblu.me` URLs (routed via Caddy) instead of `*.tail8d86e.ts.net`. Should be tested in the future.
