What you give up vs Statuspage

  • Full-text search is not supported; only label-based log filtering
  • Requires Grafana for a usable query UI (no standalone dashboard)
  • Scalable distributed mode requires object storage (S3/GCS) and careful tuning

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Grafana Loki on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Statuspage: subscriber-based pricing).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
