Install grafana loki monolith on k8s

Grafana Loki
1

Hello.

I find it impossible to install loki monolith on kubernetes.

I’m trying to install loki monolith but first of all, why do I need to install two helm charts?

helm install loki grafana/loki-stack -f values.yaml
helm install --values values.yaml loki grafana/loki

I get errors such as: RepeatedResourceWarning Resource /Service/monitoring/loki-stack appeared 2 times among application resources

Furthermore, I get this error: Resource not found in cluster: [monitoring.grafana.com/v1alpha1/GrafanaAgent:loki-stack](http://monitoring.grafana.com/v1alpha1/GrafanaAgent:loki-stack) Do I need to install CRD from somewhere? It’s not in the docs.

And finally, I get a massive error:

Failed sync attempt to : one or more objects failed to apply, reason: [CustomResourceDefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io](http://customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/) "[grafanaagents.monitoring.grafana.com](http://grafanaagents.monitoring.grafana.com/)" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes,admission webhook "[warden-validating.common-webhooks.networking.gke.io](http://warden-validating.common-webhooks.networking.gke.io/)" denied the request: GKE Warden rejected the request because it violates one or more constraints. Violations details: {"[denied by autogke-no-write-mode-hostpath]":["hostPath volume run in container promtail is accessed in write mode; disallowed in Autopilot

Here is my install script.
It goes on like this. How did you install these?
Thanks in advance for your kind concern and help.

I believe there is no helm chart for monolithic deployment, because it’s literally just one container with a config map. You can do that pretty easily by looking at the docker example from the documentation and convert that to a helm chart.

Hello Tony.

Thanks for the reply. It’s right here in the docs.

Is this page incorrect or what’s happening?

Thanks

I stand correctly, guess the helm chart can be used to deploy in monolithic mode.

What does your values look like?

haha I hope to stand corrected at the end of this thread.

My values are copy pasted from the docs here. I copy pasted them twice for each helm script.

The whole yaml file is a simple ArgoCD definition. It’s meant to reference Helm scripts.
