Our (Grafana) Loki installation occasionally comes in handy, even though I'm not a fan any more¹. If only there was a free thing that was more "a Prometheus for system logs" than Loki turned out to be. One that was worth the effort to switch to, and as accessible via Grafana, and etc.

I'm wishing for multiple ponies here.
