Getting Started - PaaS Logging

If your application runs on Platon PaaS (Kubernetes) and you just need logging, getting started is simple.

What You Need to Do​

Log to stdout - that's it.

Your application should write logs to standard output (stdout). The platform automatically collects these logs and ships them to our logging backend.

Request Access​

Contact the Platon team on #platon (Slack) with:

  1. Namespace: The Kubernetes namespace where your application runs
  2. Tenant name: A name for your team or product (e.g., "my-team" or "my-product")
  3. EntraID group: The Microsoft Entra ID group that should have access to view logs

What Happens Next​

Once you've contacted us:

  1. We configure Vector (our log shipper) to collect logs from your namespace
  2. We create a Grafana organization for your team
  3. We set up a Loki data source connected to your tenant
  4. We grant your EntraID group access to the Grafana organization

View Your Logs​

After setup is complete:

  1. Go to grafana.platon.sikt.no
  2. Log in with Feide
  3. Select your organization (if you belong to multiple)
  4. Go to Explore and select your Loki data source
  5. Start querying your logs

See Using Grafana for more details on navigating the interface.

Bonus: Container Metrics​

Even if you only set up logging, you automatically get access to basic container metrics (CPU, memory, network) through the Kubernetes metrics data source. No additional setup required.
