We see up to 50 errors a day cause by this file:

ts=2026-10-04T00:00:22.758337414Z level=error msg="failed to tail file" component_path=/ component_id=loki.source.file.worker_nodes_logs component=tailer path=/var/log/chrony/measurements.log err="terminated after 20 retries"

So we are excluding it.

…ors. The file is not a log file and used for NTP stuff.
