Promtail is the log sending client for Grafana Loki. For traditional Linux systems, an RPM package is available from upstream, making installation fairly simple. Configuration is stored in a YAML file, so again, it's straightforward to configure via Ansible variables. Really, the only interesting step is adding the _promtail_ user, which is created by the RPM package, to the _systemd-journal_ group, so that Promtail can read the systemd journal files.
