Grafana, are you sure you want to name a piece of software after a guy famous for lying, betrayal, and other forms of unreliability? Besides, I already know two cats, a dog, two children, and a Saturn hatchback named Loki. The Saturn is named appropriately, by the way; let's hope your software isn't.


Loki was reliable in that he was chaos incarnate. To misappropriate another bit of pop culture, "you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest."


I'm just a really bit Marvel fan though - he did redeem himself in the last film, no?


In the actual nordic myths, he is a rather bad guy and in the end fights against the gods when Ragnarök (armageddon) comes.


I was thinking it would be funny to call it Logki.
