+Scrape_config section of config.yaml contents are various jobs for parsing your logs on current host
+
+`job` and `host` these are tags on which you can filter parsed logs date on Grafana later
+
+`__path__` it is path to directory where stored your logs. (*)
+
+* - If you run promtail and this config.yaml in Docker container, you can use docker volumes for mapping real directories
+with log to those folders in the container.
