• Also, there is a step-by-step guide on how to test Loki-operator on OpenShift.
• There is also a basic troubleshooting guide if you run into some common problems.
• There is also a document which demonstrates how to use Loki Operator for development and testing locally without deploying the operator each time on Kind and OpenShift using the make run command.

• The forwarding logs to LokiStack guide provides instructions for configuring forwarding clients to ship logs to Loki through the gateway component.
• This section details how to connect to OpenShift Logging installation to the gateway.

• The guide has a step-by-step guide to connect with OpenShift Logging or OpenShift Network for forwarding logs to LokiStack.

• Storage size calculator works out of the box on OpenShift. For non-openshift distributions you will need to create services like prometheus, serviceMonitor, scrape configuration for log-file-metric exporter, promsecret to access the custom prometheus URL, token.
• The step-by-step guide on how to install storage size calculator on OpenShift is available.
• Also, there is a step-by-step guide on how to contribute to this along with local development and testing procedure.
• There is also a basic troubleshooting guide if you run into some common problems.
