There are days when you don’t want a dashboard. You don’t want logs stored in S3. You just want to know what your service is doing right now. LogFusion is made for those moments. Open the file, see the data move, follow the flow. When something breaks, it’s often the first place that gives you a clue.
Prometheus and the WMI Exporter feel like a cheat code for Windows monitoring. A couple of installs, a few YAML tweaks, and you’ve got live metrics, sharp alerts and dashboards that tell real stories—without expensive agents. Your servers and on-call nights will thank you.
Loki doesn’t try to replace the heavy hitters. But if you just want to pull in logs, filter them fast, and show them next to your metrics — it gets the job done. Especially for teams that already rely on Grafana, it’s one of those “why didn’t we do this earlier” tools.
