How to turn logs into metrics with Grafana Loki (Loki Community Call July 2025)

Cyril Tovena shows us how to turn logs into metrics with Grafana Loki using metric queries in LogQL. What do you do when all you have are logs, but you want to count them, aggregate them, or parse them for numbers you want to graph? Well, there's a query for that! Cyril is joined by Jay Clifford and Nicole van der Hoeven to discuss everything you need to know about metric queries and how to use them to get numbers out of Loki.
