Example for configuration on AWS

[mrmodolo]

Hi!

I tried several configurations to use a bucket on AWS and I couldn't!

s3: https://ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY@s3.wasabisys.com/BUCKET_NAME region: REGION

Thanks

HI!

I managed to create a functional configuration on AWS!

auth_enabled: false

server:
  http_listen_port: 4100    # Normally Loki is on port 3100, 4100 was chosen here so you can run multiple Loki servers and leave this in the background for shell commands

ingester:
  lifecycler:
    address: 127.0.0.1
    ring:
      kvstore:
        store: inmemory
      replication_factor: 1
    final_sleep: 0s
                           # I do not recommend setting either of the following settings less than 1h
  chunk_idle_period: 1h    # These two settings determine how long Loki keeps logs in memory before persisting them to the store.
  max_chunk_age: 1h        # This is a compromise between reducing risk of lost logs if Loki crashes and not writing too many small chunks which really hurts performance.

  chunk_target_size: 1048576  # Try to build bigger chunks if there is sufficient data, although for logging shell commands we will never hit this.
  chunk_retain_period: 30s
  max_transfer_retries: 0

schema_config:
  configs:
    - from: 2020-08-08
      store: boltdb-shipper
      object_store: aws
      schema: v11
      index:
        prefix: index_
        period: 24h

storage_config:
  aws:
    s3: https://MY_KEY:MY_SECRET@s3.amazonaws.com/MY_BUCKT

    s3forcepathstyle: true
  boltdb_shipper:
    active_index_directory: /home/ME/.cache/loki/index 
    shared_store: aws
    cache_location: /home/ME/.cache/loki/boltdb-cache
    cache_ttl: 721h # This is 30days worth of hours, our history query is 30 days so keep all the index files local to improve performance.
limits_config:
  reject_old_samples: true
  reject_old_samples_max_age: 168h

chunk_store_config:
  max_look_back_period: 0s
  chunk_cache_config:
    enable_fifocache: true      # Enable an inmemory cache for chunks, this improves performance because chunks are small and we can cache them forever
    fifocache:
      max_size_bytes: 52428800  # Max cache of 50MB, adjust if desired.

table_manager:
  retention_deletes_enabled: false
  retention_period: 0s

Hey @mrmodolo I guess I didn't have notifications setup properly on this repo 🤦 but i'm glad you were able to get it to work!! Thank you for posting your solution too!!
