Loki coordinator

Loki Coordinator K8s is a Juju charm that manages the configuration, routing, and external integrations for a horizontally scalable Grafana Loki deployment on Kubernetes. It works together with the Loki Worker charm, following the coordinated-workers pattern. It is a component of the Canonical Observability Stack (COS): https://documentation.ubuntu.com/observability

The coordinator handles all external relations — such as log ingestion, alerting, Grafana datasources, and dashboards — and distributes the generated Loki configuration to the worker units. An nginx reverse proxy routes incoming traffic to the appropriate workers based on their assigned roles.

Key features:

  • Centralized management of all external integrations, including log ingestion via loki_push_api, visualization and data source integration with Grafana, and alerting through Alertmanager.```
  • Automatic configuration distribution to Loki Worker units via the loki-cluster relation.
  • Built-in nginx reverse proxy for load balancing and traffic routing across workers.
  • S3-compatible object storage integration for scalable log data persistence.
  • Built-in Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alert rules for self-monitoring.
  • Configurable ingestion rate limits, burst sizes, and log retention periods.
  • TLS support via the certificates relation.
  • Ingress support for external access through reverse proxies such as Traefik.
  • Distributed tracing support via integration with Tempo.
