In a Kubernetes environment, challenging log retrieval from Loki occurred due to high log volume, a Grafana limit of 5000 lines, and lack of export configuration.
To extract logs from Loki without modifying configurations, begin by filtering logs in Grafana, then use LogCli to query logs effectively.
The process involved installing LogCli, configuring the Loki address, port forwarding for local access, and executing a query for extensive log retrieval.
In just 10 minutes, logs for the specified date were successfully extracted, demonstrating a potential for future optimization and automation in log retrieval.
