Description
Currently the UIPlugin only works with a LokiStack installed on OpenShift.
We are currently using the ClusterForwarder and are forwarding to an external Loki stack outside the cluster to consolidate multiple clusters. It would be easier if we could connect this plugin to this external stack and have the same features as a local stack.
It's still the same data as we don't transform data. The mechanism would be the same but with a custom URL and authentication.

Research direction
Start with the UIPlugin and its logging.LokiStack configuration in docs/api.md, then compare that contract with the external Loki URL and authentication requirements described here. Define how an external stack can provide the same plugin features as a local stack, and verify the behavior for both configurations.
