OpenClaw 8154103ac4 feat(monitoring): Disable Loki centralized logging while preserving configuration
DECISION: Disable Loki due to operational overhead vs benefit analysis

EVIDENCE FROM NODE2 INCIDENT:
- Loki was the root cause of major cluster outage (PVC storage exhaustion)
- Centralized logging was unavailable when needed most (Loki was down)
- All debugging was accomplished with simpler tools (kubectl logs, events, describe)
- Prometheus metrics proved more valuable than centralized logs

OPERATIONAL OVERHEAD ELIMINATED:
 50GB iSCSI storage freed up (expensive)
 ~3.5GB memory freed up (Loki + Alloy agents across cluster)
 ~2+ CPU cores freed up for actual workloads
 Reduced complexity - fewer services to maintain and troubleshoot
 Eliminated single point of failure that can cascade cluster-wide

CONFIGURATION PRESERVED:
 All Terraform resources commented out (not deleted)
 loki.yaml preserved with 50GB configuration
 alloy.yaml preserved with log shipping configuration
 Alert rules and Grafana datasource preserved (commented)
 Easy re-enabling: just uncomment resources and apply

ALTERNATIVE DEBUGGING APPROACH:
 kubectl logs (always works, no storage dependency)
 kubectl get events (built-in Kubernetes events)
 Prometheus metrics (more reliable for monitoring)
 Enhanced health check scripts (direct status verification)

RE-ENABLING:
To restore Loki later, uncomment all /* ... */ blocks in loki.tf
and apply via Terraform. All configuration is preserved.

[ci skip] - Infrastructure changes applied locally first due to resource cleanup
