[Loki-stack] Bundled loki version is extremely out of date!

[MegaShinySnivy]

As per the title, the default loki version is extremely out of date, and cannot connect to modern grafana versions. It should be bumped to a more recent version, like 2.9.3. This bit me in this issue (#79846).

The prometheus chart is so out of date i can't configure the alertmanager properly

[MegaShinySnivy]

You can manually set the image as a workaround

[tekno45]

Sorry, updated the comment. But the issue is the chart doesn't pass the config field to alertmanager as far as i can tell.

@MegaShinySnivy could you please explain more in detail how/what image to set as a workaround?

[MegaShinySnivy]

@adghanbari, take a look at my repo here for how I set the image manually.

[MegaShinySnivy]

This chart is just a collection of subcharts with default options set, so you can easily take fields from them and apply them to this chart

@MegaShinySnivy Thank you.

@Sheikh-Abubaker https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/loki-stack/requirements.yaml

The chart referenced in the loki stack requirements.

@Sheikh-Abubaker updated very shortly after my initial comment thanks.

The version of loki in the most recent loki-stack (2.10.2) is 2.6.1, which is from June 2022. That is almost 2 years old.

According to this Blogpost, the Helm-Chart indeed seems to be depreated in favor of the Loki Helm-Chart since 19.12.2022. I'd agree that this Helm-Chart should receive a Deprecation-Note instead of workarounds how one could continue using this Chart.
