To configure Promtail, you'll need to create a configuration file, typically named promtail.yaml. This file defines how Promtail collects logs and sends them to Loki.

The key sections include server, positions, and scrape_configs. The server section defines the HTTP server settings, positions tracks the last read log positions, and scrape_configs specifies the log sources.

          job: varlogs
          __path__: /var/log/*.log
