How to calculate the storage used by grafana loki with prometheus query? Is there a specific metric to monitor this?
I have used HELM chart for loki installation as a helm chart, as a result it writes into node's storage. I guess it's using boltdb-shipper.
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install promtail grafana/promtail \
--create-namespace \
--namespace monitoring \
--values cluster/production/charts/loki/values.promtail.yaml
helm upgrade --install loki grafana/loki \
--create-namespace \
--namespace monitoring \
--values cluster/production/charts/loki/values.loki.yaml
These metrics can help you:
# HELP loki_ingester_chunk_size_bytes Distribution of stored chunk sizes (when stored).
# TYPE loki_ingester_chunk_size_bytes histogram
loki_ingester_chunk_size_bytes_bucket
loki_ingester_chunk_size_bytes_sum
loki_ingester_chunk_size_bytes_count
# HELP loki_ingester_chunk_stored_bytes_total Total bytes stored in chunks per tenant.
# TYPE loki_ingester_chunk_stored_bytes_total counter
