lmao.
talos linux just added a log folder in 1.12. Perfect, lemme enable node logs finally on the grafana/loki/alloy stack!
Oh. Wait, alloy/k8s-monitoring expects /var/log/journal to exist, so systemd, which talos is not using. (far too minimal for that, not a philosophical aversion to it)
Which means if I want to export node logs using alloy I'll have to do a bunch of file log configs, whoops
Or I could export to syslog.... but I have mtls setup on that and I don't see a way to get a client cert for the talos nodes, or configure the log exporter to use it?
Hmm. I have another idea, but I'll have to think a bit on which is the best option, some of the ideas seem cursed....
