+  Loki is made by grafana team, who call it Prometheus for logs.<br>
+  It is a **push** type monitoring, where an agent(**promtail**)
+  pushes logs on to a Loki instance.
+
+  What this example will set out to do is monitor logs of a
+  [minecraft server.](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/minecraft)
+  Have some dashboards about logs and have an alert when a player joins.
+
+  To add to the existing setup:
+
   - New container - `loki` added to the compose file. It stores logs and makes
     them available for grafana to visualize.
   - New container - `promtail` added to the compose file. Agent that pushes
-    logs content to loki.
+    logs content to loki. This container needs access to logs to be pushed
+    and so docker host `/var/lib/docker/containers` directory is bind mounted.
   - New file - `loki-docker-config.yml` bind mounted in the loki container.<br>
     The file is [all default](https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/main/cmd/loki),
     except for alertmanager url.<br>
   - New file - `promtail-config.yml` mounted in to promtail container<br>
-    This files defines source of logs. Any such source much be accessible
+    This files defines source of logs. In here a minecraft container is set,
-    by the promtail container.
+    with some added labels for easier targeting of logs.

+There was also an option to use loki logging driver to just get docker containers.
+But any container re-recreated with that setting set took always long time to down.<br>
