@bomingzh i followed the instructions in the links, but it seems to fail:

alloy reports that everything is fine
logs show level=info msg="failed to register collector with remote server"

i m not sure if this log is related to the failure, but it seems loki (on focs server) doesn t receive the info. so joj-mon doesn t show anything

note: i also double checked and loki was working fine. however after updating it, it failed to start due to changes in the yml schema. i commented out the parts (2-3 lines) that were not working with the new loki and it runs fine. but still nothing shown on joj-mon

looks like it's now fixed. leaving open: maybe we could try to have 1 alloy on joj server instead of 1 per container?
@bomingzh had you thought of it/tried it with promtail?
