Migration From Promtail to Alloy: The What, the Why, and the How
Promtail is (was) the lightweight log collector solution that sends the log over the HTTP to the remote backend. This remote backend is normally Loki but you can choose to send the logs to VictoriaLogs as well.
In this blog post, you will see the newer alternative to Promtail, Grafana Alloy. You will see what it is, why it's a good idea to migrate, and the how-to guide to make the jump with least friction.
