Problem sending logs to loki from promtail

Grafana Loki
1

Hi all, i have a Loki on a VM, and then i am using promtail from my other VM to collect and send Kubernetes data to Loki.
using my Loki’s /ready endpoint i get: ready.

My promtail configuration is pretty much basic:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: promtail-config
  namespace: monitoring
data:
  config.yml: |
    server:
      http_listen_port: 0
      grpc_listen_port: 0
      log_level: info

    positions:
      filename: /var/log/positions.yaml

    clients:
      - url: http://<external-url>:3100
        timeout: 10s

    scrape_configs:
      - job_name: kubernetes-pods
        kubernetes_sd_configs:
          - namespaces:
              names:
                - default
            role: pod
        relabel_configs:
          - source_labels:
              - __meta_kubernetes_pod_node_name
            target_label: __host__
          - action: labelmap
            regex: __meta_kubernetes_pod_label_(.+)
          - action: replace
            replacement: $1
            separator: /
            source_labels:
              - __meta_kubernetes_namespace
              - __meta_kubernetes_pod_name
            target_label: job
          - action: replace
            source_labels:
              - __meta_kubernetes_namespace
            target_label: namespace
          - action: replace
            source_labels:
              - __meta_kubernetes_pod_name
            target_label: pod
          - action: replace
            source_labels:
              - __meta_kubernetes_pod_container_name
            target_label: container

          configMap:

when i do: kubectl -n monitoring logs promtail-12345 i get:

and no logs are send to Loki (exploring from Grafana).

Can someone help out?
