Where to find working config for Loki?

line 22: field embedded_cache not found in type cache.Config

I am also confused by the name of the config -“loki-local-config.yaml” is it exactly for docker?

no that is the config for loki.

I recommend you read this and you wont be confused

there is an error in this configuration as reported by Loki in the logs

line 22: field embedded_cache not found in type cache.Config

but Grafana is empty

but they are

I use a config from previous version with added ruler and frontend section added
It works but not stores data in local db - only in memory (

target: all
auth_enabled: false

server:
  http_listen_port: 3100
  grpc_listen_port: 9096

common:
  path_prefix: /tmp/loki
  storage:
    filesystem:
      chunks_directory: /tmp/loki/chunks
      rules_directory: /tmp/loki/rules
  replication_factor: 1
  ring:
    instance_addr: 127.0.0.1
    kvstore:
      store: inmemory

schema_config:
  configs:
    - from: 2020-10-24
      store: boltdb-shipper
      object_store: filesystem
      schema: v11
      index:
        prefix: index_
        period: 24h

ruler:
  alertmanager_url: http://alertmanager:9093

frontend:
  address: 127.0.0.1

is there a way to add settings to persistent store data to the config?

Read the doc

All kind of storage

I’m new to this - I just wanted to use it by setting the default configuration, but it doesn’t work and reading the configs won’t help me much because I’ll need to study the whole product

Exactly. If you are going to use it and use it well nothing like reading the docu.

What exactly do you mean when you say it doesn’t work

with the config that you offered me, grafana does not see container logs, although they are there (with the old config it shows them but not store in db)
https://community.grafana.com/uploads/short-url/5sTHj8zQxG9gbO4cgFxIpQvORXM.png

but with my configuration from the previous version, which does not save data to disk, logs are present

it would be great if the project had a folder with compose and a working config so that you could run it anywhere without external dependencies (only Loki Prometheus and Grafana) and without additional study of the documentation

is there any other documentation with a really working configuration for Loki for storing logs locally and displaying them in Grafana?

maybe this, otherwise cant help you, others might

Thanks!
I will try to run and test the config

your config is identical to mine see abowe

it has one problem - it does not save data on disk, but temporarily stores it in memory

I think we are going in circles. That is not a problem because that is exactly what I want and it works for me just fine.

You asked for a working config and I gave you mine.

If you want to store it differently for you then change accordingly. I think you are looking for a config you just want to copy and paste.

@yosiasz

I’m sorry, but what do you mean by “works”?
works for a couple of hours?
it definitely doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to - it works when all the functions are available!

in this case, the data is not stored on disk, but is stored in memory until it is displaced by other data or the process is restarted - that’s for sure = “does not work”!

I initially described the problem and asked about a fully functional config

Works perfectly well 24 hours a day. What do you mean by “does not work”

@yosiasz

we need to store logs for at least a week - 24 hours is very little

look at this

I read it, but it doesn’t help me in any way - I’m not an expert in monitoring - I’m a developer and I use Loki for development and it’s very difficult for me to understand these configurations

The main question is that the product is being released and there is no configuration example that would allow non-specialists to take and immediately use the product without in-depth study of it
