Cisco Syslog Ingestion in Loki

Newb question:
Been running grafana for years, love it. Would like the add all of the cisco logs to my dashboards with Loki. I dont want to run docker. All the documentation makes it sound like I have to run the syslog ingestion tool in docker. Is this true? Grafana runs at the os app level. Loki says it will install as an app on linux. Will the syslog tool run at the app level or is docker a requirement?

thanks

Yes, it should run on the OS level. I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t.
