Logs overview | Grafana Cloud

Nov 10, 2026

Grafana Cloud Logs helps teams manage growing log volumes without giving up the visibility they need when something breaks.

As applications and services grow, so do the logs teams need to ingest, store, query, and pay for. Grafana Cloud Logs is a fully managed logging platform, so Grafana handles the infrastructure, patching, and maintenance while your team focuses on finding answers in its log data.

You can explore and investigate logs with Grafana Assistant using natural language, without needing to know LogQL. Ask it to find errors in critical services, then turn the results into visualizations, dashboards, and alerts. Adaptive Logs also analyzes how your team uses its log data and recommends high-volume logs you may be able to reduce before ingestion, helping you make cost decisions based on actual usage.

Built around open standards, Grafana Cloud Logs supports OpenTelemetry with Grafana Alloy and other compatible collectors, helping keep your instrumentation portable and flexible.
