# Install the microservice Helm chart

This Helm Chart deploys Grafana Loki on Kubernetes.

This chart configures Loki to run Loki in [microservice / distributed mode]({{< relref "../../../../get-started/deployment-modes#microservices-mode" >}}). The microservices deployment mode runs components of Loki as distinct processes.

The default Helm chart deploys the following components:
- **Compactor component** (1 replica): Compacts and processes stored data.
- **Distributor component** (3 replicas, maxUnavailable: 2): Distributes incoming requests. Up to 2 replicas can be unavailable during updates.
- **IndexGateway component** (2 replicas, maxUnavailable: 1): Handles indexing. Up to 1 replica can be unavailable during updates.
- **Ingester component** (3 replicas): Handles ingestion of data.
- **Querier component** (3 replicas, maxUnavailable: 2): Processes queries. Up to 2 replicas can be unavailable during updates.
- **QueryFrontend component** (2 replicas, maxUnavailable: 1): Manages frontend queries. Up to 1 replica can be unavailable during updates.
- **QueryScheduler component** (2 replicas): Schedules queries.

It is not recommended to run scalable mode with `filesystem` storage. For the purpose of this guide, we will use MinIO as the object storage to provide a complete example.

**Prerequisites**

- Helm 3 or above. See [Installing Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/).
- A running Kubernetes cluster.
- (Optional) A Memcached deployment for better query performance. For information on configuring Memcached, refer to the [caching section](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/operations/caching/).


**To deploy Loki in microservice mode (with MinIO):**


1. Add [Grafana's chart repository](https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts) to Helm:

```bash
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
```

2. Update the chart repository:

```bash
helm repo update
```

3. Create the configuration file `values.yaml`. The example below illustrates how to deploy Loki in test mode using MinIO as storage:

```yaml
loki:
schemaConfig:
configs:
- from: 2024-04-01
store: tsdb
object_store: s3
schema: v13
index:
prefix: loki_index_
period: 24h
ingester:
chunk_encoding: snappy
tracing:
enabled: true
querier:
# Default is 4, if you have enough memory and CPU you can increase, reduce if OOMing
max_concurrent: 4
#gateway:
# ingress:
# enabled: true
# hosts:
# - host: FIXME
# paths:
# - path: /
# pathType: Prefix
deploymentMode: Distributed
ingester:
replicas: 3
querier:
replicas: 3
maxUnavailable: 2
queryFrontend:
replicas: 2
maxUnavailable: 1
queryScheduler:
replicas: 2
distributor:
replicas: 3
maxUnavailable: 2
compactor:
replicas: 1
indexGateway:
replicas: 2
maxUnavailable: 1
bloomCompactor:
replicas: 0
bloomGateway:
replicas: 0
# Enable minio for storage
minio:
enabled: true
# Zero out replica counts of other deployment modes
backend:
replicas: 0
read:
replicas: 0
write:
replicas: 0
singleBinary:
replicas: 0
```

4. Install or upgrade the Loki deployment.
- To install:
```bash
helm install --values values.yaml loki grafana/loki
```
- To upgrade:
```bash
helm upgrade --values values.yaml loki grafana/loki
```


1. Verify that Loki is running:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n loki
```
The output should an output similar to the following:

```bash

```

## Object Storage Configuration

After testing Loki with MinIO, it is recommended to configure Loki with an object storage provider. The following examples shows how to configure Loki with different object storage providers:

{{< code >}}

```s3
# Example configuration for Loki with S3 storage

# s3 URL can be used to specify the endpoint, access key, secret key, and bucket name
s3: s3://access_key:secret_access_key@custom_endpoint/bucket_name
# AWS endpoint URL
endpoint: <your-endpoint>
# AWS region where the S3 bucket is located

# AWS secret access key

To configure other storage providers, refer to the [Helm Chart Reference]({{< relref "../reference" >}}).

## Next Steps
* Configure an agent to [send log data to Loki](/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/send-data/).
* Monitor the Loki deployment using the [Meta Monitoring Healm chart](/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/setup/install/helm/monitor-and-alert/)
