Hello,
I believe the following is not right:

scrape_configs:
 - job_name: system
   pipeline_stages:
   static_configs:
   - targets:
      - localhost
     labels:
      job: syslog
      __path__: /var/log/syslog
 - job_name: system
   pipeline_stages:
   static_configs:
   - targets:
      - localhost
     labels:
      job: apache
      __path__: /var/log/apache.log

If i run these both with the same job_name, only the last one with the same name will be active.
If i change it to something like this:

scrape_configs:
 - job_name: system
   pipeline_stages:
   static_configs:
   - targets:
      - localhost
     labels:
      job: syslog
      __path__: /var/log/syslog
 - job_name: system1
   pipeline_stages:
   static_configs:
   - targets:
      - localhost
     labels:
      job: apache
      __path__: /var/log/apache.log

Both rules are working.

Can someone confirm this?

I am using promtail 2.2.1

@ivanahuckova, can you take a look at this and we can make the necessary doc changes. Thank you!

[achatterjee-grafana]

@Ruppsn, can you point me to the topic where you found the code snippet? Thank you.

[Ruppsn]

@achatterjee-grafana sure thing :)

Its the second snippet. Can you confirm that its not working with both job names the same?

Thank you all for your support! Its really nice if a user can feel the community <3

Transferred to Loki repo, as it is a Loki issue.

[hugohaggmark]

@achatterjee-grafana if this is transferred to Loki, I'm going to close this one.

[achatterjee-grafana]

The issue is now in Loki - will close after I have fixed it.
