TraceQL query says "localblocks processor not found"

Grafana Tempo

Hello,

I’m using the Helm chart version 1.18.1. The values file contains this:

    overrides:
      defaults:
        metrics_generator:
          processors:
            - local-blocks

In the generated config map this results in the following:

  overrides.yaml: |
    overrides:
      defaults:
        metrics_generator:
          processors:
          - local-blocks

I think that corresponds with what is described in the documentation. But I still get the above error.

Best regards,

Werner.

Hi ,

The “localblocks processor not found” error occurs because the local-blocks processor must be explicitly enabled in your Tempo configuration to run TraceQL metrics queries.

For all tenants, add this in your values.yaml or overrides block: overrides:
defaults:
metrics_generator:
processors: [local-blocks] If you want to run metrics on historical data, also set: metrics_generator:
processor:
local_blocks:
flush_to_storage: true After updating the configuration, redeploy your Helm chart and the TraceQL metrics queries should work.
