Hi all,  
I’m totally confused at the moment.

I setted up alloy, loki and on another host grafana and want to tail my logs and show them in Grafana.

First I set up the loki config

```auto
auth_enabled: false

server:
  http_listen_port: 3100
  grpc_listen_port: 9096
  log_level: info
  grpc_server_max_concurrent_streams: 1000

common:
  instance_addr: 127.0.0.1
  path_prefix: /tmp/loki
  storage:
    filesystem:
      chunks_directory: /tmp/loki/chunks
      rules_directory: /tmp/loki/rules
  replication_factor: 1
  ring:
    kvstore:
      store: inmemory

ingester_rf1:
  enabled: false

query_range:
  results_cache:
    cache:
      embedded_cache:
        enabled: true
        max_size_mb: 100

schema_config:
  configs:
    - from: 2020-10-24
      store: tsdb
      object_store: filesystem
      schema: v13
      index:
        prefix: index_
        period: 24h

pattern_ingester:
  enabled: true
  metric_aggregation:
    enabled: true
    loki_address: localhost:3100

ruler:
  alertmanager_url: http://localhost:9093

frontend:
  encoding: protobuf

```

Second I have defined the alloy config

```auto
logging {
  level = "debug"
  format = "logfmt"
}

livedebugging {
  enabled = true
}

loki.source.syslog "local" {
  listener {
    address = "127.0.0.1:1514"
    labels = { component = "loki.source.syslog", protocol = "tcp" }
  }

  listener {
    address = "127.0.0.1:1514"
    protocol = "udp"
    labels = { component = "loki.source.syslog", protocol = "udp"}
  }

  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
}

prometheus.exporter.unix "default" {
  include_exporter_metrics = true
  disable_collectors = ["mdadm"]
}

prometheus.scrape "default" {
  targets = array.concat(
    prometheus.exporter.unix.default.targets,
    [{
      // Self-collect metrics
      job = "alloy",
      __address__ = "127.0.0.1:12345",
    }],
  )

  forward_to = [
  // TODO: components to forward metrics to (like prometheus.remote_write or
  // prometheus.relabel).
  ]
}

local.file_match "local_files" {
   path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/*.log"}]
   sync_period = "5s"
}

local.file_match "local_syslog" {
   path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/syslog"}]
   sync_period = "5s"
}

local.file_match "local_subfolder_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
 }

local.file_match "local_router_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/router/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
 }

loki.source.file "log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_files.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "syslog_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_syslog.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "subfolder_log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_subfolder_log.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "router_log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_router_log.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.write "grafana_loki" {
  endpoint {
    url = "http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push"
  }
}

```

After this a few of my logfiles will be shown in Grafana Explore and also in Alloy Metrics

But for example my router logs, which will be sent to /var/log/$HOST/yyyy\_mm\_dd.log won’t be found.  
In the Debug log I found the following entry

```auto
Oct 03 14:36:09 logserver alloy[1874]: ts=2024-10-03T14:36:09.440314657Z level=info msg="finished node evaluation" controller_path=/ controller_id="" trace_id=f2050b23ed5f66a817c32086665fc651 node_id=local.file_match.local_router_log duration=114.855<C2><B5>s
Oct 03 14:36:09 logserver alloy[1874]: ts=2024-10-03T14:36:09.441105009Z level=debug msg="no files targets were passed, nothing will be tailed" component_path=/ component_id=loki.source.file.router_log_scrape

```

But the logs are definitly present on host and readable.  
For Example

```auto

I have already rebooted, checked several configs and so on but the logs won’t be shown in Grafana / metrics

Does anybody have an idea?

Shouldn’t this be `path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/router/*.log"}]`?

No.  
The logs are in a folder per router. E.g. /var/log/WR1300-ap.lan/2024\_10\_03.log

Apologie, misread.

I don’t see anything obviously wrong then. Couple of things I’d suggest trying:

1. Remove `tail_from_end = true` when debugging.
2. Make sure you remove Alloy agent’s state file when debugging.
3. Try changing the targets to `path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/router/**"}]` and see if that picks it up.

I have done all you suggestions.

I think with state file you mean the positions.yml. they are located at /var/lib/alloy/  
Deleted them and restarted.  
But nothing happens

Metrics shows

```auto
loki_source_file_files_active_total{component_id="loki.source.file.router_log_scrape",component_path="/"} 0

```

Journatlctl -u alloy shows

I made a several test for the subfolder log.  
Created a new directory named alloy in /var/log/  
Made chmod 766  
Stderr of alloy.service to /var/log/alloy\_err.log  
Restarted alloy service  
In my perspective the `local.file_match "local_subfolder_log" ` should find this new files at startup or all 5 seconds

But it won’t be found  
Still the service found only Apache and apt logs in subfolders

I tried, and I couldn’t reproduce your problem. One thing I’ll point out, after looking at your config more closely, is that your configuration actually generate twice the amount of logs for anything under /var/log/router, because:

```auto
local.file_match "local_subfolder_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
 }

local.file_match "local_router_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/router/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
}

```

`/var/log/ **/*.log` will also match `/var/log/router/** /*.log`, which in my test did generate twice the amount of logs for anything under /var/log/router.

Here is my configuration (identical to yours, except I added password for my Loki cluster, and I removed tail\_from\_end for router logs for testing purpose):

```auto
logging {
  level = "debug"
  format = "logfmt"
}

loki.source.syslog "local" {
  listener {
    address = "127.0.0.1:1514"
    labels = { component = "loki.source.syslog", protocol = "tcp" }
  }

  listener {
    address = "127.0.0.1:1514"
    protocol = "udp"
    labels = { component = "loki.source.syslog", protocol = "udp"}
  }

  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
}

local.file_match "local_files" {
   path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/*.log"}]
   sync_period = "5s"
}

local.file_match "local_syslog" {
   path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/syslog"}]
   sync_period = "5s"
}

local.file_match "local_subfolder_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
 }

local.file_match "local_router_log" {
    path_targets = [{" __path__" = "/var/log/router/**/*.log"}]
    sync_period = "5s"
 }

loki.source.file "log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_files.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "syslog_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_syslog.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "subfolder_log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_subfolder_log.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  tail_from_end = true
}

loki.source.file "router_log_scrape" {
  targets = local.file_match.local_router_log.targets
  forward_to = [loki.write.grafana_loki.receiver]
  # tail_from_end = true
}

loki.write "grafana_loki" {
  external_labels = {
      app = "tonytest",
  }

  endpoint {
    url = "https://<URL>/loki/api/v1/push"

    basic_auth {
      username = "<USER>"
      password = "<PASS>"
    }
  }
}

```

I think I’m seeing something similar, I’ll post config and details in the morning.

No, it was me, there was a mistake in my config for the file\_match, but one that was not flagged by alloy.

This works:

```auto
local.file_match "docker" {
  path_targets = [{ __path__ = "/var/log/docker.log"}]
}

```

Notice there are no quotes around **path** - maybe that makes a difference?

I am quite sure in my testing I had quoted ` __path__ `.
