Summary

Grafana Labs has announced the integration of Grafana Enterprise Logs (GEL) with Red Hat OpenShift 4.x, providing users with a robust solution for enterprise log management. This integration allows companies to leverage GEL's unique log indexing, storage, and administrative capabilities within OpenShift, a leading on-premises and cloud Kubernetes platform. Powered by the Grafana Loki open-source project, GEL facilitates cloud-native log aggregation with the use of LogQL, a versatile log query language, enabling efficient issue resolution and metric analysis. The deployment process involves creating a project in OpenShift, adding the Grafana Helm charts repository, and deploying the GEL Helm Chart, while ensuring compatibility by using version 2.0.4 or above. For production environments, additional configuration adjustments are recommended, such as enabling memcache for improved performance. This partnership enhances the flexibility and scalability of GEL across various cloud environments, offering enterprise-level support and configuration options.
