Description

Preliminary Checks
Summary

Logs are usually only available to the administrators who have control of Kubernetes (by kubectl or k9s). This usually leads to problems as the logs do not persist by default, and in case the pod dies before the user gets a glimpse of the errors it's very difficult (sometimes impossible) to retrieve the original logs. As a first step, it would be interesting to include Loki as a tool to aggregate the logs as it goes well with Grafata and has a nice dashboard for exploration and navigating the logs.

Steps to Resolve this Issue
  1. Include docs on how to install and use Loki using the helm extension mechanism

Done means the documentation covers installation and basic usage through the Helm extension mechanism.
