This image contains the promtail application for log aggregation.
promtail is the log aggregator that ships logs to Loki and/or Prometheus.
It runs as an agent and scrapes logs from files, containers, and hosts and ships them to a logging backend.
The image is available on cgr.dev:
docker pull cgr.dev/chainguard/promtail:latest
The image can be run directly and sets the promtail binary as the entrypoint with a default configuration:
docker run cgr.dev/chainguard/promtail:latest
