This Helm Chart installation runs the Grafana Loki *single binary* within a Kubernetes cluster.

If you set the `singleBinary.replicas` value to 1 and set the deployment mode to `SingleBinary`, this chart configures Loki to run the `all` target in a [monolithic mode](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/get-started/deployment-modes/#monolithic-mode), designed to work with a filesystem storage. It will also configure meta-monitoring of metrics and logs.

{{< admonition type="note" >}}
You must specify `commonConfig.replication_factor: 1` if you are only using 1 replica, otherwise requests will fail.

If you set the `singleBinary.replicas` value to 2 or more, this chart configures Loki to run a *single binary* in a replicated, highly available mode. When running replicas of a single binary, you must configure object storage.
