**Describe the bug**  
Although the description of the logs matches 11 log files on the server, only 4 of them can be seen in Grafana

**To Reproduce**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Started Loki  
latest from Docker’s hub
2. Started Promtail  
promtail, version 2.4.2 (branch: HEAD, revision: 525040a32)
3. Query: `{host="lutetia", filename="/var/log/kern.log"} |= `

**Expected behavior**  
It should appear in the dropdown of the filename and kern.log label, but it does not appear, although there are logs, including from the current day.

**Environment:**

- Infrastructure: Docker for Grafana/Loki and Binary for Promtail
- Deployment tool: docker-compose & git clone

**Screenshots, Promtail config, or terminal output**  
If applicable, add any output to help explain your problem.
