Split loki read/write and scaling on docker swarm

Hi,

My production is running on a docker swarm cluster.
I’m using Loki since few months in standalone service, scaled at 1.

My objectives are simple :

  • use the “split” mode arrived on 2.4x
  • create a real loki stack
  • increase routed logs to loki
  • be able to scale up easily loki services

Storage is assured by a powerfull minio cluster.

My swarm stack is :

  loki-read:
    image: grafana/loki:2.4.1
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./loki.yml
        target: /etc/loki/loki.yml
        read_only: true
    command: "-config.file=/etc/loki/loki.yml -target=read"
    environment:
      TZ: Europe/Paris
    networks:
      internal:
      log-public:
      monitoring-public:
    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: 2
      resources:
        limits:
          # cpus: "0.50"
          memory: 512M
      placement:
        constraints:
          - "node.role==worker"
      labels:
        prometheus_enable: "false"
        prometheus_scheme: http
        prometheus_port: 3100
        prometheus_path: /metrics
        traefik.enable: "false"

  loki-write:
    image: grafana/loki:2.4.1
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./loki.yml
        target: /etc/loki/loki.yml
        read_only: true
    command: "-config.file=/etc/loki/loki.yml -target=write"
    environment:
      TZ: Europe/Paris
    networks:
      internal:
      log-public:
      monitoring-public:
    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: 2
      resources:
        limits:
          # cpus: "0.50"
          memory: 512M
      placement:
        constraints:
          - "node.role==worker"
      labels:
        prometheus_enable: "false"
        prometheus_scheme: http
        prometheus_port: 3100
        prometheus_path: /metrics
        traefik.enable: "false"

My loki configuration is the same i use for my actual standalone stack, just added the “memberlist” section:

I’ve not published the rest of this stack (a redis and a haproxy as LB).
Loki won’t start and here the log output :

After reading github issues and the recently example added (loki/production/simple-scalable at main · grafana/loki · GitHub), validated on docker-compose (not swarm), i don’t understand the mistake.

I think, it’s because i can’t set ip or interface name in the ring for advertising… but not sure.

I need your help, please.

Have a good day
