NOTES:
***********************************************************************
 Welcome to Grafana Loki
 Chart version: 6.6.3
 Chart Name: loki
 Loki version: 3.0.0
***********************************************************************

** Please be patient while the chart is being deployed **

Tip:

  Watch the deployment status using the command: kubectl get pods -w --namespace monitoring

If pods are taking too long to schedule make sure pod affinity can be fulfilled in the current cluster.

***********************************************************************
Installed components:
***********************************************************************
* loki

Loki has been deployed as a single binary.
This means a single pod is handling reads and writes. You can scale that pod vertically by adding more CPU and memory resources.


***********************************************************************
Sending logs to Loki
***********************************************************************

Loki has been configured with a gateway (nginx) to support reads and writes from a single component.

You can send logs from inside the cluster using the cluster DNS:

http://loki-gateway.monitoring.svc.cluster.local/loki/api/v1/push

You can test to send data from outside the cluster by port-forwarding the gateway to your local machine:

  kubectl port-forward --namespace monitoring svc/loki-gateway 3100:80 &

And then using http://127.0.0.1:3100/loki/api/v1/push URL as shown below:

```
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST -s "http://127.0.0.1:3100/loki/api/v1/push"  \
--data-raw "{\"streams\": [{\"stream\": {\"job\": \"test\"}, \"values\": [[\"$(date +%s)000000000\", \"fizzbuzz\"]]}]}"
```

Then verify that Loki did received the data using the following command:

```
curl "http://127.0.0.1:3100/loki/api/v1/query_range" --data-urlencode 'query={job="test"}' | jq .data.result
```

Connecting Grafana to Loki
***********************************************************************

If Grafana operates within the cluster, you'll set up a new Loki datasource by utilizing the following URL:
