Hi Vikas, thank you so much for this video, would like to ask if you can make another one with Promtail installed via Helm? Apparently, installation via Docker is only advisable for testing and development purposes. Thanks

[@VikasJha001]

Sure, I will post.

Hello Vikas, Can you please solve my issue I have install loki on local system and promtail and the application on VM. I have configured loki and promtail to scrape application log. In the same grafana dashboard the query is not returning any logs and stats. but when I run the same query in query Explorer-> live mode the query is returning logs.

[@MuhammadMahirQ8]

Amazing insight. Thanks a Ton!

Can we change this default port 3000 to any other because I'm already using it in one of my applications

[@VikasJha001]

Yes, you can change it, while running container just provide different port.

Hi Vikas. have just started learning about Grafana and I have a query. If we need a graph or any chart which grafana doesn't offer(out of box), is there a way to write custom code for same (in angular/react) ?

[@VikasJha001]

Grafana is fully opensource and you can develop as many custom component as you want.

[@ittechsupport1993]

Hi vikas, Can you make video on how to download the logs with time frame and tar file download using API with any code like golang etc!!

[@manusoftar]

Absolutely useless, I followed all the steps but Grafana will not connect to Loki... it just wont and if I try to open localhost:3100 it brings back an error 404, even though /metrics brings all those metrics.

Hi - I have this config running on my monitoring server and want to scrape the config from Mr production server. I have put the IP and port of my production server in the promtail-config But It looks like it is still only returning my monitoring server logs. I have node_exporter running on port 9100 on my production server. I am using aws and for now my security groups are open on the relevant ports to allow my monitoring server to talk to my production server. What configs do I need to change?

[@VikasJha001]

Have you installed promtail on the production server?

[@ihenners_]

@@VikasJha001 no, what promtail do I need? I don’t need a promtail config do I?

[@VikasJha001]

@@ihenners_ you need to install promtail software on all the servers which you want to monitor.

[@ihenners_]

@@VikasJha001 thanks. And I do not need promtail on the monitoring server correct?

[@VikasJha001]

@@ihenners_ you will need it on the monitoring server as well if you want to check logs or monitor the monitoring server as well. If you dont want to monitor the monitoring server then just install promtail on rest of the servers which you want to monitorband visualize with Grafana.
