This is documentation for the next version of Loki. For the latest stable release, go to the latest version.
Install the monolithic Helm chart
This Helm Chart installation runs the Grafana Loki single binary within a Kubernetes cluster.
If you set the singleBinary.replicas
value to 1, this chart configures Loki to run the all
target in a monolithic mode, designed to work with a filesystem storage. It will also configure meta-monitoring of metrics and logs.
If you set the singleBinary.replicas
value to 2 or more, this chart configures Loki to run a single binary in a replicated, highly available mode. When running replicas of a single binary, you must configure object storage.
Before you begin: Software Requirements
- Helm 3 or above. See Installing Helm.
- A running Kubernetes cluster
To deploy Loki in monolithic mode:
Add Grafana’s chart repository to Helm:
bashhelm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
Update the chart repository:
bashhelm repo update
Create the configuration file
values.yaml
:If running a single replica of Loki, configure the
filesystem
storage:yamlloki: commonConfig: replication_factor: 1 storage: type: 'filesystem' singleBinary: replicas: 1
If running Loki with a replication factor greater than 1, set the desired number replicas and provide object storage credentials:
yamlloki: commonConfig: replication_factor: 3 storage: bucketNames: chunks: loki-chunks ruler: loki-ruler admin: loki-admin type: 's3' s3: endpoint: foo.aws.com secretAccessKey: supersecret accessKeyId: secret singleBinary: replicas: 3
Deploy the Loki cluster using one of these commands.
Deploy with the defined configuration:
bashhelm install --values values.yaml loki grafana/loki
Deploy with the defined configuration in a custom Kubernetes cluster namespace:
bashhelm install --values values.yaml loki --namespace=loki grafana/loki
