How can I integrate Promtail with Loki for logging?

To integrate Promtail with Loki, you need to configure Promtail to scrape logs and send them to Loki. Have you installed both tools?

Yes, I have both installed. What configuration do I need to set up in Promtail?

You'll need to edit the promtail.yaml file. Define the clients section to point to your Loki instance and set up the scrape_configs to specify which logs to collect.

Can you provide an example of the promtail.yaml configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

clients:
  - url: http://<loki-address>:3100/loki/api/v1/push

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: system
    static_configs:
      - targets:
          - localhost
        labels:
          job: varlogs
          __path__: /var/log/*.log
