Loki Config Generator

Generates production Grafana Loki configs across monolithic, simple scalable, and microservices modes with S3, GCS, Azure, or filesystem backends. Includes a Python script that handles the tedious bits like TSDB schema setup, OTLP ingestion mapping, and retention policies, plus manual workflows when you need fine-grained control. Covers Loki 3.6 features including the new Thanos storage client and horizontal compactor modes. The documentation lookup guidance is solid, it knows when to hit Context7 for bleeding-edge features versus using the built-in references. Worth noting that it explicitly steers you away from deprecated Promtail toward Grafana Alloy, which will save you a migration headache down the road.

Loki Configuration Generator

Overview

Generate production-ready Grafana Loki server configurations with best practices. Supports monolithic, simple scalable, and microservices deployment modes with S3, GCS, Azure, or filesystem storage.

Current Stable: Loki 3.6.2 (November 2025) Important: Promtail deprecated in 3.4 - use Grafana Alloy instead. See examples/grafana-alloy.alloy for the Alloy pipeline and examples/grafana-alloy-daemonset.yaml for the Kubernetes deployment.

When to Use

Invoke when: deploying Loki, creating configs from scratch, migrating to Loki, implementing multi-tenant logging, configuring storage backends, or optimizing existing deployments.

Generation Methods

Method 1: Script Generation (Recommended)

Use scripts/generate_config.py for consistent, validated configurations:

# Simple Scalable with S3 (production)
python3 scripts/generate_config.py \
  --mode simple-scalable \
  --storage s3 \
  --bucket my-loki-bucket \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --retention-days 30 \
  --otlp-enabled \
  --output loki-config.yaml
