uploading local logs to loki through promtail

Question

I wanted to upload local .logs to grafana through loki using promtail. My promtail shows that the files are in, but in Grafana, it is not shown.

I've tried configurating the loki and promtail config files. There hasn't been much results.

Answer 1

1. Go to your promtail-local-config.yaml

2. Change the __path__ to the local path of your logs

3. Execute this command:

   ./promtail-linux-amd64 -client.url http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/push -config.file=promtail-local-config.yaml -positions.file=/tmp/positions.yaml
