`tenant` stage

The tenant stage is an action stage that sets the tenant ID for the log entry picking it from a field in the extracted data map. If the field is missing, the default promtail client tenant_id will be used.

Schema

tenant:
  # Either label, source or value config option is required, but not all (they
  # are mutually exclusive).

  # Name from labels to whose value should be set as tenant ID.
  [ label: <string> ]

  # Name from extracted data to whose value should be set as tenant ID.
  [ source: <string> ]

  # Value to use to set the tenant ID when this stage is executed. Useful
  # when this stage is included within a conditional pipeline with "match".
  [ value: <string> ]

Example: extract the tenant ID from a structured log

For the given pipeline:

pipeline_stages:
  - json:
      expressions:
        customer_id: customer_id
  - tenant:
      source: customer_id

Given the following log line:

{"customer_id":"1","log":"log message\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2019-04-30T02:12:41.8443515Z"}

The first stage would extract customer_id into the extracted map with a value of 1. The tenant stage would set the X-Scope-OrgID request header (used by Loki to identify the tenant) to the value of the customer_id extracted data, which is 1.

Example: override the tenant ID with the configured value

For the given pipeline:

pipeline_stages:
  - json:
      expressions:
        app:
        message:
  - labels:
      app:
  - match:
      selector: '{app="api"}'
      stages:
        - tenant:
            value: "team-api"
  - output:
      source: message

Given the following log line:

{"app":"api","log":"log message\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2019-04-30T02:12:41.8443515Z"}

The pipeline would:

Decode the JSON log
Set the label app="api"
Process the match stage checking if the {app="api"} selector matches and - whenever it matches - run the sub stages. The tenant sub stage would override the tenant with the value "team-api".

Example: extract the tenant ID from kubernetes sd

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: kubernetes-pods-name
    
    kubernetes_sd_configs:
      - role: pod
    
    relabel_configs:
      - action: replace
        source_labels:
          - __meta_kubernetes_namespace
        target_label: namespace
    
    pipeline_stages:
    - match:
        selector: '{namespace=".+"}'
        stages:
          - tenant:
              label: "namespace"
    - output:
         source: message
