How to connect Loki (Installed by helm chart Single Binary) with Grafana

Grafana Loki
, ,
1

After successfully installing Loki using the helm chart (values at the end), the next step is to connect Loki as a Grafana data source. Here it’s become tricky since Loki has a lot of components, but after reading this: Helm Chart Components | Grafana Loki documentation it’s become clear that Gateway service is the one that needs to connect to.

After adding it Grafana returns the error:

Unable to fetch labels from Loki (Failed to call resource), please check the server logs for more details

The Loki installed on namespace “loki”, and this is how I’ve tried to add it: http://loki-gateway.loki.svc.cluster.local

How to debug/troubleshoot? where to start?

The Gateway port is 80, so when having http no need to set a port.On my installation:

kubectl:
