# Configuring Loki
Loki is configured in a YAML file (usually referred to as `loki.yaml`)
which contains information on the Loki server and its individual components,
depending on which mode Loki is launched in.
Configuration examples can be found in the [Configuration Examples](examples.md) document.

## Configuration File Reference
To specify which configuration file to load, pass the `-config.file` flag at the
command line. The file is written in [YAML format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML),
defined by the scheme below. Brackets indicate that a parameter is optional. For
non-list parameters the value is set to the specified default.
Generic placeholders are defined as follows:
* `<boolean>`: a boolean that can take the values `true` or `false`
* `<int>`: any integer matching the regular expression `[1-9]+[0-9]*`
* `<duration>`: a duration matching the regular expression `[0-9]+(ns|us|µs|ms|[smh])`

### lifecycler_config
The `lifecycler_config` is used by the Ingester to control how that ingester
registers itself into the ring and manages its lifecycle during its stay in the
ring.
```yaml
# Configures the ring the lifecycler connects to
[ring: <ring_config>]
# The number of tokens the lifecycler will generate and put into the ring if
# it joined without transferring tokens from another lifecycler.

## storage_config
The `storage_config` block configures one of many possible stores for both the
index and chunks. Which configuration is read from depends on the schema_config
block and what is set for the store value.
```yaml
# Configures storing chunks in AWS. Required options only required when aws is
# present.
aws:
# S3 or S3-compatible URL to connect to. If only region is specified as a
# host, the proper endpoint will be deduced. Use inmemory:///<bucket-name> to
# use a mock in-memory implementation.

## table_manager_config
The `table_manager_config` block configures how the table manager operates
and how to provision tables when DynamoDB is used as the backing store.
```yaml
# Master 'off-switch' for table capacity updates, e.g. when troubleshooting
[throughput_updates_disabled: <boolean> | default = false]
# Master 'on-switch' for table retention deletions
[retention_deletes_enabled: <boolean> | default = false]
# How far back tables will be kept before they are deleted. 0s disables
# deletion. The retention period must be a multiple of the index / chunks
# table "period" (see period_config).

#### auto_scaling_config
The `auto_scaling_config` block configures autoscaling for DynamoDB.
