Installing Promtail and Loki for Log Monitoring in Ceph

In this video, we'll show you how to install Promtail and Loki, two open-source log monitoring tools, to gather and monitor your logs in Ceph. We'll also walk you through the steps of making minor code changes to display the Grafana Explore window, allowing you to monitor your logs directly in the Ceph dashboard.

Unfortunately, the feature to display logs in the default dashboard was locked behind a service check in Ceph, making it inaccessible. However, with our modifications, you can now easily monitor your logs without switching between different tools or dashboards.
