How to upgrade the Promtail Package chart💣
This chart is reconciled against the upstream chart as declared in the Kptfile.
When an upgrade is required, kpt can be ran to pull the updates with a targeted tag.
(from the repository root)
kpt pkg update chart@<new tag> --strategy alpha-git-patch
Once completed, you will need to reconcile the modifications that Big Bang makes back into the orchestration.

Testing a new promtail version💣
Current testing is done manually. Deployment of Big Bang with Istio, Monitoring, Loki and Promtail enabled. Point the promtail git values at the feature branch. Deploy and ensure all resources reconcile and are healthy.
Once healthy - navigate in browser to grafana.bigbang.dev (or other specified domain) and navigate Configuration -> Data sources -> Loki and click on Save & test and ensure Data source connected and labels found.
