The Loki configuration provided by OpenShift {logging-uc} is a short-term log store designed to enable users to perform fast troubleshooting with the collected logs. For that purpose, the {logging} {for} configuration of Loki has short-term storage, and is optimized for very recent queries. For long-term storage or queries over a long time period, users should look to log stores external to their cluster.
