Once you have promtail, Loki, and Grafana running, continue with [our usage docs](./docs/usage.md) on how to query your logs.

Probably not so "advanced"?

- David Kaltschmidt's KubeCon 2018 talk "[On the OSS Path to Full Observability with Grafana][kccna18-event]" ([slides][kccna18-slides], [video][kccna18-video]) on how Loki fits into a cloud-native environment.

Where am I supposed to put these files?

Check out our [Loki mixin](../production/loki-mixin) for a set of dashboards, recording rules, and alerts.
These give you a comprehensive package on how to monitor Loki in production.

For more information about mixins, take a look at the [Kubernetes mixins project](https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin).

Loki has support for Google Cloud storage.
Take a look at our [production setup](https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/a422f394bb4660c98f7d692e16c3cc28747b7abd/production/ksonnet/loki/config.libsonnet#L55) for the relevant configuration fields.

Support for AWS and Azure is still under development.
