## Cache Generation errors
Loki cache generation number errors(Loki >= 2.6)

### error loading cache generation numbers

- Symptom:

- Loki exposed errors on log with `msg="error loading cache generation numbers" err="unexpected status code: 403"` or `msg="error getting cache gen numbers from the store"`

- Investigation:

- Check the metric `loki_delete_cache_gen_load_failures_total` on `/metrics`, which is an indicator for the occurrence of the problem. If the value is greater than 1, it means that there is a problem with that component.

- Try Http GET request to route: /loki/api/v1/cache/generation_numbers
- If response is equal as `"deletion is not available for this tenant"`, this means the deletion API is not enabled for the tenant. To enable this api, set `allow_deletes: true` for this tenant via the configuration settings. Check more docs: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/operations/storage/logs-deletion/
