 * BUGFIX: properly replace `:` chars in label names with `_` when `-usePromCompatibleNaming` command-line flag is passed to `vmagent`, `vminsert` or single-node VictoriaMetrics. This addresses [this comment](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3113#issuecomment-1275077071).
 * BUGFIX: [Official Grafana dashboards for VictoriaMetrics](https://grafana.com/orgs/victoriametrics): fix display of ingested rows rate for `Samples ingested/s` and `Samples rate` panels for vmagent's dasbhoard. Previously, not all ingested protocols were accounted in these panels. An extra panel `Rows rate` was added to `Ingestion` section to display the split for rows ingested rate by protocol.
 * BUGFIX: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html): correctly check if specified `-dst` belongs to specified `-storageDataPath`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4837).
+* BUGFIX: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): don't interrupt the migration process if no metrics were found for a specific tenant. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4796).
