fix: remove loki.ui config — UI no longer bundled in Loki 3.7.x - #267
Merged
Conversation
Loki Helm chart 6.43.0 removed the embedded web UI (PR #19390). It was moved to a Grafana plugin (github.com/grafana/loki-operational-ui). The loki.ui.enabled flag only added -target=ui to Loki and generated nginx /ui routing that returns a 307 redirect loop (/ui/404). The Loki API continues to work fine — access the logs through Grafana Explore with the Loki datasource, or install the operational UI plugin.

Problem
loki.g2net.xyz/uireturns an infinite 307 redirect loop to/ui/404?path=/ui.Root Cause
Loki Helm chart 6.43.0 (PR #19390) removed the embedded web UI from Loki. It was moved to a Grafana plugin.
The
loki.ui.enabled: trueflag only added-target=uito Loki's args (which enables backend APIs for the Grafana plugin) and generated nginx/uirouting — but Loki itself returns 307 redirects to/ui/404for any UI path, since the SPA assets are no longer in the binary.Fix
Removed the stale
loki.uiconfig block. Loki continues to serve all API endpoints normally (/loki/api/v1/...,/ready,/metrics).To get the Loki UI back, install the grafana-lokiexplore-app plugin in Grafana, or use Grafana Explore with the Loki datasource.
