Hi All, I am new to Grafana world.
I am facing problem for my use case in which I push systemd-journal logs from different virtual machines using promtail to Linux host (running loki) on my laptop. I can view logs on Linux host from different virtual machines using grafana explore web-ui interface. Everything works fine till this point.
Now I need to push logs from Linux host which already have logs from different virtual machines to external server (running loki/grafana). Can I use promtail agent in Linux host to push already collected Loki data/logs to external server? If yes please share the configuration.
Note: My Laptop will not be always connected with internet so I cannot push logs to external server directly and logs need to stored locally on laptop as well.
Thanks in advance.
