- Infrastructure (3): hosts, tailscale, routing
- Kubernetes (2): cluster, apps
- Storage (2): sifaka, backups

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
  • Pushed to prometheus via remote_write

From Kubernetes

  • All pod logs via loki.source.kubernetes
  • Service health probes: miniflux, kiwix, transmission, devpi, argocd

Logs Collected

Brew services: forgejo, tailscale

mcquack LaunchAgents: alloy, borgmatic, zot, jellyfin

Logs pushed to loki at https://loki.tail8d86e.ts.net/loki/api/v1/push.

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.
