An issue with promtail

Grafana Loki
1

When I use the following configuration file:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: promtail-config
namespace: trainee-playground-1
data:
config.yml: |
server:
http_listen_port: 9080
grpc_listen_port: 0
log_level: debug

clients:
  - url: http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push

positions:
  filename: /tmp/positions.yaml

scrape_configs:
- job_name: pod-logs
  kubernetes_sd_configs:
    - role: **pod**
      namespaces:
        names:
          - trainee-playground-1

I cannot see any targets on the loki api.

but when i use
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: promtail-config
namespace: trainee-playground-1
data:
config.yml: |
server:
http_listen_port: 9080
grpc_listen_port: 0
log_level: debug

clients:
  - url: http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push

positions:
  filename: /tmp/positions.yaml

scrape_configs:
- job_name: pod-logs
  kubernetes_sd_configs:
    - role: **service**
      namespaces:
        names:
          - trainee-playground-1

i can see 12 services, why is that? on the logs I don’t see anything different, just not the part of new target found

Just decided to run a promtail container inside every pod and read directly the data there
