help request: Loki instance external to cluster returning 404

Describe the issue

Hi, I am trying to forward logs to a Loki instance outside of the Kubernetes cluster. I get the below 404 error in the fluent-bit container logs. [error] [output:loki:loki.0] logging-dev.example.com:443, HTTP status=404 404 page not found

A default Loki install returns a 404 at logging-dev.example.com

I have used curl to access the Loki API from the fluent-bit debug container successfully.

I noticed the uri parameter doesn't exist when i export the fluent-bit-config secret and it isn't defined in fluentbit-output-loki.yaml . Could this be part of the issue?

How did you install fluent operator?

helm install -f custom-values.yml fluent-operator --create-namespace -n fluent-operator charts/fluent-operator/
