Replace deprecated Promtail with Grafana Alloy #5219

Description

@bruce-mig

This issue is in relation to the Using Promtail, Loki and Grafana to access Tracee Logs tutorial, located in the documentation at https://aquasecurity.github.io/tracee/latest/tutorials/promtail/.

The tutorial uses Promtail which is now deprecated. (See https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/send-data/promtail/installation/#install-promtail.

Also the grafana/loki-distributed helm chart used in the tutorial is also deprecated. (See [grafana/loki-distributed](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/setup/migrate/migrate-from-distributed/)).

The Grafana documentation recommends the following migrations:

Deprecated New Source
Promtail Grafana Alloy Migrate from Promtail to Grafana Alloy
loki-distributed Helm chart loki Helm Chart, v3.0 or higher Migrate from loki-distributed Helm chart

I propose updating the tutorial as below:

  • Migrate from Promtail to Grafana Alloy
  • Migrate from loki-distributed Helm chart to loki Helm Chart, v3.0 or higher

And also clarifying ways to access to Grafana Dashboard running in remote servers, using e.g. ssh tunneling to local machine.
