Getting started - PaaS Logging

Use this guide if your application runs on Platon PaaS (Kubernetes) and logging is all you need.

What you need to do​

The only thing your application needs to do is write its logs to standard output (stdout). The platform automatically collects these logs and ships them to Loki.

Request access​

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

  1. The Kubernetes namespace where your application runs
  2. A tenant name for your team or product (e.g., "my-team" or "my-product")
  3. 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 Entra ID group access to the Grafana organization

View your logs​

After setup is complete:

  1. Go to grafana.platon.sikt.no. You are automatically logged in with Entra ID.
  2. Select your organization (if you belong to multiple)
  3. Go to Explore and select your Loki data source
  4. Start querying your logs

See Using Grafana for more details on navigating the interface.

Kubernetes metrics​

Every PaaS workload gets Kubernetes metrics (CPU, memory, network, pod restarts) in Mimir without further setup, even if you only set up logging. They appear in your team's Grafana organization and in shared dashboards in the "Sikt" Grafana organization.

See Metrics — What you get for free on Platon PaaS for details.
