Loki Logcli is not working

[AnandPalani92]

Describe the bug
I have tried the loki logcli to access the container logs on kubernetes and itsn't not working. I used to following way as per the loki documentation. Environment vars exposed as mentioned.
$ export GRAFANA_ADDR=https://test.grafanadomain.com
$ export GRAFANA_USERNAME=admin
$ export GRAFANA_PASSWORD=admin123

After exposed the environment vars and i got following error.

Expected behavior
logcli labels analytics
https://monitoring-dev.example.com//loki/api/v1/label/analytics/values
Error doing request: readObjectStart: expect { or n, but found <, error found in #1 byte of ...|

Environment:

• Infrastructure: Aws EKS environment
• Deployment tool: helm charts

Screenshots, Promtail config, or terminal output

Can you please try hitting that URL directly using a browser and see what HTML is being returned? I suspect some other component is erroring out and the request is not even reaching Loki.

Thanks Sandeep for your response. When I tried the URL and it's showing 404 not found error. While checking grafa logs there no hit on that.

I think the issue is with the url that is set in GRAFANA_ADDR. It should be pointing to loki server, not grafana since logcli is meant to talk to loki server directly. Can you please give a try after updating it?

[AnandPalani92]

Yes. Its working now. as per the Docs i just given the Grafana url

Thanks for your prompt response
