Five years ago today, Grafana Loki was introduced to the world on the KubeconNA 2018 stage when David Kaltschmidt, now a Senior Director of Engineering at Grafana Labs, clicked the button to make the Loki repo public live in front of the sold-out crowd. At the time, Loki was a prototype: We bolted together Grafana as a UI, Cortex internals, and Prometheus labels to find out if there was a need for a new open source tool to manage logs.
This is the fourth part of our 12-day Advent of Monitoring series. In this series, Checkly's engineers will share practical monitoring tips from their own experience. One challenge in conducting end-to-end (E2E) testing is managing the artifacts created during the process. These artifacts are necessary for asserting specific functionalities.
This is the third part of our 12-day Advent of Monitoring series. In this series, Checkly's engineers will share practical monitoring tips from their own experience. When it comes to running self-hosted services or side projects, monitoring is key. But, who has the time to set up a complex monitoring system? We want to deliver cool software and not be busy with configuring Prometheus servers or Grafana Dashboards.

We encountered a tricky issue with our public dashboards: they were experiencing sporadic outages, happening about once every two days. The infrequency and unpredictability of these outages made them particularly challenging to diagnose.
