Unused units can be omitted.

Values can be combined, such as 11m 7d to specify an eleven month and seven day retention period.

Use Persistent Volumes

Boolean

TRUE

Secures data which is local to specific Mimir’s microservices by using persistent storage. Required for production deployments.

Storage Class

When using your own Kubernetes cluster, set this to one of your available storage classes that allows dynamic provisioning.

Accepted values are all storage classes available in your Kubernetes cluster.

Access Modes

string

ReadWriteOnce

Set to ReadWriteOnce to allow a single node with multiple pods simultaneous access to the volume mount in read or write mode.

Alert Manager Volume Size

1Gi

Use 10GB for production deployments.

You cannot modify this size after the initialization of the cluster without deleting the existing Persistent Volumes and statefulsets, which can result in data loss.

Compactor Volume Size

2Gi

Use at least 300GB for production deployments.

You cannot modify this size after the initialization of the cluster without deleting the existing Persistent Volumes and statefulsets, which can result in data loss.

Store Gateway Volume Size

Use 50GB for production deployments.

You cannot modify this size after the initialization of the cluster without deleting the existing Persistent Volumes and statefulsets, which can result in data loss.

Ingester Volume Size

Quantity

2Gi

Use at least 100GB for production deployments.

If this resource is too small, metrics aren’t ingested.

You cannot modify this size after the initialization of the cluster without deleting the existing Persistent Volumes and statefulsets, which can result in data loss.

Loki Reader Instances

number

1

Loki Writer Instances

number

1

Loki Replication Factor

number

1

The number of ingesters to which Loki forwards writes. This should be less than or equal to the number of write instances.

Storage retention

string

7d

Set the retention period for metrics data in milliseconds, seconds, hours, days, months, weeks, or years.

The expected format is an integer followed by a time unit in the format Nms Ns Nh Nd Nm Nw Ny.

Unused units can be omitted.

Values can be combined, such as 11m 7d to specify an eleven month and seven day retention period.

Force Path-Style Addressing

Boolean

FALSE

Forces requests to use AWS S3 path-style addressing, which does not prefix the endpoint URL with the bucket name. This is useful when using S3-compatible storage backends.

Use Persistent Volumes

Boolean

TRUE

Required for production deployments.

Persistent Volumes size

string

10Gi

Use at least 50GB for production deployments.

You cannot modify this size after the initialization of the cluster without deleting the existing Persistent Volumes and statefulsets, which can result in data loss.

Bind DN

string

The DN to bind with when performing the search. When not provided, the search is performed anonymously.

Bind password

string

The password with which to bind when performing the search. When not provided, the search is performed anonymously.

Username prompt

string

The prompt the user sees when requesting their username. When unspecified, the default is Username.

Username attribute used for comparing user entries. This is translated and combined with the other filter as (<attr>=<username>).

User id attribute

string

uid

User email attribute

string

email

User display name attribute

string

uid

Preferred username attribute

Group base DN

string

Group filter

string

(objectClass=group)

Optional filter to apply when searching the directory.

Group/user matchers

string

- userAttr: uid groupAttr: member

A list of field pairs that matches a user to a group. It adds an additional requirement to the filter that an attribute in the group must match the user’s attribute value.

Expected format: multi-line YAML list of objects with userAttr and groupAttr keys.

Group name attribute

string

name

Issuer URL

string

Client ID

string

Client Secret

Password

Basic auth unsupported

Boolean

FALSE

Some providers require passing client_secret via POST parameters instead of basic auth, despite the OAuth2 RFC discouraging it. Many of these cases are caught internally, but you might need to check this setting.

Scopes

string

Skip email verified

Boolean

FALSE

Not recommended. Some providers return claims without email_verified when they did not use emails verification in the enrollment process or if they are acting as a proxy for another IDP. An example is AWS Cognito with an upstream SAML IDP. Checking this box forces email_verified to TRUE.

Enable groups

Boolean

FALSE

Not recommended. Groups claims only refresh when the ID token is refreshed; meaning that the regular refresh flow does not update the groups claim. By default the OIDC connector does not allow groups claims. If it is satisfactory to have potentially stale group claims then use this option to enable groups claims through the OIDC connector on a per-connector basis.

Get user info

Boolean

FALSE

User ID key

string

Username key

string

The claim used as username.

Defaults to name.

ACR values

string

The Authentication Context Class values within the Authentication Request that the Authorization Server is being requested to process.

Expected format: multi-line YAML list of strings.

Prompt type

string

For offline_access, the prompt parameter is set by default to prompt=consent. However, this is not supported by all OIDC providers; some of them support a different value for prompt, like login or none.

Preferred username claim

string

The claim used as preferred username.

Defaults to preferred_username.

Email claim

string

email

The claim used as email.

Preferred groups claim

string

groups

The claim used as groups.
