just installed loki locally on my windows computer(same as grafana runs on), and i cannot "save and test".

Grafana Loki
21

But hey Yosiasz, thanks so much for your time and effort to try to help me!

I now upgraded to last version:
Grafana: 9.3.1
Loki: 2.7.0 (https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/download/v2.7.0/loki-windows-amd64.exe.zip)
Promtail: 2.7.0 (https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/download/v2.7.0/promtail-windows-amd64.exe.zip)

Still doesn’t work.

Wild hack.
What if you use the actual ip of pc or 127.0.0.1 in grafana loki connection

Check

nslookup localhost

Tried with ip, but no difference. hmm

I think your config of loki or promtail is the problem.
You can screenshot your terminal with this :

sudo systemctl status loki
sudo systemctl status promtail
(I’m on linux VM but on Windows, maybe you have an another command line)

You can see if services run correctly. And maybe debug if that return failed status.
