Does anyone know how to read the grafana log file with promtail if they are running in separate containers with docker-compose?
Yup, pretty straightforward
image: grafana/promtail
container_name: promtail
volumes:
- /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers
- /docker/promtail-docker-config.yml:/etc/promtail/promtail-docker-config.yml
- /var/log/nginx:/var/log/nginx
command: -config.file=/etc/promtail/promtail-docker-config.yml```
That’s what I used for nginx logs, you can probably tweak to make it work with grafana. Just check where grafana is storing logs
I ended up using the Loki log driver instead
