Installing Loki Operator by using the web console

By default, the retention config is not mentioned in standard installation YAML because of which end users use the exact same config for deployment and then object storage get flooded with a lot of logs. This breaks ODF and impacts the applications consuming storage from ODF.

It is required to add retention config in standard installation YAML in the documentation. If there is no retention, then the logs will not be remove / cleaned up from object storage until retention is configured or until lifecycle policy is configured on the object bucket.

Here is the updated config:

apiVersion: loki.grafana.com/v1
kind: LokiStack
metadata:
  name: logging-loki  1 
  namespace: openshift-logging  2 
spec:
  managementState: Managed 
  limits:  
    global:   3
      retention:   4
        days: 20   # Set the value as per requirement.
  size: 1x.small  5 
  storage:
    schemas:
    - version: v13
      effectiveDate: "<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd>"  6
    secret:
      name: logging-loki-s3  7
      type: s3  8 
  storageClassName: <storage_class_name>  9 
  tenants:
    mode: openshift-logging  10
