Install Loki

There are several methods of installing Loki and Promtail:

  • [Install using Helm (recommended)]({{< relref "./helm" >}})
  • [Install using Tanka]({{< relref "./tanka" >}})
  • [Install using Docker or Docker Compose]({{< relref "./docker" >}})
  • [Install and run locally]({{< relref "./local" >}})
  • [Install from source]({{< relref "./install-from-source" >}})

The [Sizing Tool]({{< relref "../size" >}}) can be used to determine the proper cluster sizing given an expected ingestion rate and query performance. It targets the Helm installation on Kubernetes.

  2. Download config files for both programs.
  3. Start Loki.
