The Alloy configuration provided sets up a real-time collection of Windows Security event logs using the "windows_security" source. By configuring the locale and event log name, it polls for logs with no delay and utilizes the incoming event timestamps for accuracy. Events are forwarded directly to a specified Loki endpoint, enabling immediate log management and monitoring. Additionally, a legacy bookmark path is utilized to avoid processing duplicate events and ensure a seamless experience. The configuration emphasizes enhanced log tracking through specific job and log source labels for easier querying and sorting.
The Alloy configuration specified collects Windows Security event logs in real time and forwards them to Loki for monitoring, facilitating efficient log management.
This setup utilizes a bookmark system to ensure duplicate events are not processed, while using incoming timestamps to maintain log event accuracy and relevance.
By specifying polling intervals as "0s", the configuration ensures that events are pushed to the Loki endpoint instantly, making log data immediately available for queries.
Using descriptive labels like "job" and "logsource" enhances the log organization and searchability within the Loki system.
