Description

Data Collections Clients

Some logs collection solutions are documented under the Loki / clients docs but not under the Grafana Cloud / Logs docs:

OpenTelemetry Collector is not listed as a Grafana Cloud Logs client

Where is the documentation of our solution for Kubernetes logs? I would like to see it in a Grafana Cloud / Logs / Clients section

The Grafana Cloud Cloudwatch metrics integration documentation should refer to Grafana Cloud's solution for CloudWatch logs: the “Promtail Lambda”.

Grafana Agent is not listed as a Loki / Grafana Cloud Logs client alongside Promtail. see https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/

It's complicated to understand the difference between Promtail and Grafana Agent for logs, some solutions are only documented with Promtail when Grafana Agent seems to be the recommended solution today.

Grafana Agent Logs config doesn't document the "positions" for reliability when it's well documented for Promtail (here).

Authorization, PII...
