Describe the bug
There is an error when installing Loki as mentioned in the official documentation using apt. After following the installation steps, the Loki service fails to start.

bash apt-get update apt-get install loki promtail

When checking the Loki service status, it reports a failure:

loki.service - Loki service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/loki.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2024-12-15 15:12:35 KST; 651ms ago
Process: 1090824 ExecStart=/usr/bin/loki -config.file /etc/loki/config.yml (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 1090824 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CPU: 97ms

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run the following commands:

apt-get update apt-get install loki promtail

  1. Check the status of the Loki service:

sudo systemctl status loki

  1. Observe the error:

loki.service - Loki service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/loki.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since ...
Process: 1090824 ExecStart=/usr/bin/loki -config.file /etc/loki/config.yml (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 1090824 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Expected behavior

The Loki service should start successfully and its status should indicate that it is active and running.

For example:

loki.service - Loki service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/loki.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2024-12-15 15:27:59 KST; 23s ago

CGroup: /system.slice/loki.service
└─1094130 /usr/bin/loki -config.file /etc/loki/config.yml

Environment

  • Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

/usr/bin/loki -config.file=/etc/loki/config.yml
- The error log reports:

failed parsing config: /etc/loki/config.yml: yaml: unmarshal errors:
line 41: field enabled not found in type aggregation.Config
