Installing Loki with Helm

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Helm installed and deployed to your cluster. Then add Loki's chart repository to Helm:

$ helm repo add loki https://grafana.github.io/loki/charts

You can update the chart repository by running:

$ helm repo update

Deploy Loki to your cluster

Deploy with default config

$ helm upgrade --install loki loki/loki-stack

Deploy in a custom namespace

$ helm upgrade --install loki --namespace=loki loki/loki

Deploy with custom config

$ helm upgrade --install loki loki/loki --set "key1=val1,key2=val2,..."

Deploy Loki Stack (Loki, Promtail, Grafana, Prometheus)

$ helm upgrade --install loki loki/loki-stack  --set grafana.enabled=true,prometheus.enabled=true,prometheus.alertmanager.persistentVolume.enabled=false,prometheus.server.persistentVolume.enabled=false

Deploy Loki Stack (Loki, Fluent Bit, Grafana, Prometheus)

$ helm upgrade --install loki loki/loki-stack \
    --set fluent-bit.enabled=true,promtail.enabled=false,grafana.enabled=true,prometheus.enabled=true,prometheus.alertmanager.persistentVolume.enabled=false,prometheus.server.persistentVolume.enabled=false

Deploy Grafana to your cluster

To install Grafana on your cluster with Helm, use the following command:

$ helm install stable/grafana -n loki-grafana

To get the admin password for the Grafana pod, run the following command:

$ kubectl get secret --namespace <YOUR-NAMESPACE> loki-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo

To access the Grafana UI, run the following command:

$ kubectl port-forward --namespace <YOUR-NAMESPACE> service/loki-grafana 3000:80

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 and login with admin and the password output above. Then follow the instructions for adding the Loki Data Source, using the URL http://loki:3100/ for Loki.

Run Loki behind HTTPS ingress

If Loki and Promtail are deployed on different clusters you can add an Ingress in front of Loki. By adding a certificate you create an HTTPS endpoint. For extra security you can also enable Basic Authentication on the Ingress.

In Promtail, set the following values to communicate using HTTPS and basic authentication:

loki:
  serviceScheme: https
  user: user
  password: pass

Sample Helm template for Ingress:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: {{ .Values.ingress.class }}
    ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: "basic"
    ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: {{ .Values.ingress.basic.secret }}
  name: loki
spec:
  rules:
  - host: {{ .Values.ingress.host }}
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: loki
          servicePort: 3100
  tls:
  - secretName: {{ .Values.ingress.cert }}
    hosts:
    - {{ .Values.ingress.host }}
