Expected behavior
It is expected that Promtail will be able to connect to Loki, but host is not resolved

It looks like the underlying problem has already been fixed, so newer go versions should solve this for us.

Any news on this issue? latest promtail still have this issue.

it looks like the underlying problem was only fixed in go 1.22 and we're still using a patch release of go 1.21 to build promtail
