Changes:

Bugfixes

  • Fix a memory leak which would occur any time loki.process had its configuration reloaded. (@ptodev)

    and if you use this exact function in your config, then you will need to rename your module. (@wildum)

  • Fix an issue where nested import.git config blocks could conflict if they had the same labels. (@wildum)

  • Fix an issue where loki.source.docker stops collecting logs after a container restart. (@wildum)

Other changes

  • A new otelcol.exporter.debug component for printing OTel telemetry from other otelcol components to the console. (@BarunKGP)

Bugfixes

  • Fix an issue which caused the config to be reloaded if a config reload was triggered but the config hasn't changed.
    The bug only affected the "metrics" and "logs" subsystems in Static mode. (@ptodev)
