split_queries_by_interval on wrong place in config

[bumarcell]

According to Query Frontend docu, the config split_queries_by_interval should be in the yaml config under query_range.
It appears, however, it es being templated under limits_config

Do I have a misunderstanding here?

In 2.5.0 split_queries_by_interval can only be defined in the limits_config section, Loki will fail to start if you do not remove the split_queries_by_interval config from the query_range section.

BTW, the new default value of 30m didn't work for me, I changed it to 24h to fix "too many outstanding requests" issue mentioned here: #5123

Hi @bumarcell You are right, the paragraph about parallelization is incorrect. The correct place to put the split_queries_by_interval is the limits_config as @jimmymjin pointed out.

Additionally the CLI flag argument may be confusing as well, since it has the prefix -querier. Unfortunately, this cannot be changed easily. The setting is a per-tenant setting.

Alright, thanks for clarification 🙏
