Update: Grafana Loki - Promtail is now End Of Life (EOL)

Observability And Monitoring
#1

Hi all,

I wanted to update that the Grafana Loki default agent i.e. Promtail is already End Of Life (EOL) on 2-March-2026 and it is replaced by Grafana Alloy.

Link to Official announcement

While the Grafana Loki course available on KodeKloud is still using the Promtail agent.

Therefore, I have created a complete tutorial guide how to get started and do a smooth migration from Promtail to Alloy.

Here are the links:
