# Loki Output Plugin

This plugin sends logs to Loki, using metric name and tags as labels, log line
will content all fields in `key="value"` format which is easily parsable with
`logfmt` parser in Loki.

Logs within each stream are sorted by timestamp before being sent to Loki.

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
