lib/storage: add ability to use downsampling for the given series filter (#733)
* lib/storage: add ability to use downsampling for the given series filter Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * docs: add information about downsampling filters Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * docs: fix MetricsQL filter Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * lib/storage/downsampling: treat missing downsampling filter as a bug Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * lib/storage/part_header: verify correctness of downsampling filters when opening partition Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * lib/storage/downsampling: save only appliable rules in part metadata Filter and save only rules which are appliable to partition based on MinTimestamp of stored data. Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * lib/storage/downsampling: update log messages for final dedup Properly specify a reason of re-running deduplication for partition. Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * lib/storage: consistently use MaxTimestamp to determine deduplication/downsampling rules Using MinTimestamp leads to applying downsampling to parts which are only partially covered by downsampling rule. For example, partition covers range [1000-2000]. At t=2100 and rule offset 500 data with t=2100-500 => 1600 must be downsampled. The range check against MinTimestamp evaluates to true even though partition contains range which must not be downsampled - [1600:2000]. Signed-off-by: Zakhar Bessarab <z.bessarab@victoriametrics.com> * Follow-up - Apply the first matching downsampling period if multiple filters match the given time series. This allows fine-tuning the downsampling config for the specific needs. - Take into account downsampling filters during search queries. - Reduce the difference between community and enterprise branches. This should simplify further maintenance of these branches. - Properly parse series filters with colons inside them. - Document the feature at docs/CHANGELOG.md.

## Downsampling
|
||||
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag. For example:
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling via `-downsampling.period=offset:interval` command-line flag.
|
||||
This command-line flag instructs leaving the last sample per each `interval` for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
[samples](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#raw-samples) older than the `offset`. For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs leaving the last sample
|
||||
per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days, while the rest of samples aren't downsampled.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to [deduplicate](#deduplication) samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
The `-downsampling.period` command-line flag can be specified multiple times in order to apply different downsampling levels for different time ranges (aka multi-level downsampling).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs leaving the last sample per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days,
|
||||
while leaving the last sample per each 1-hour interval for samples older than 180 days.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval and to deduplicate samples older than 180 days with 1 hour interval.
|
||||
VictoriaMetrics supports configuring independent downsampling per different sets of [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
via `-downsampling.period=filter:offset:interval` syntax. In this case the given `offset:interval` downsampling is applied only to time series matching the given `filter`.
|
||||
The `filter` can contain arbitrary [series filter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#filtering).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period='{__name__=~"(node|process)_.*"}:1d:1m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than one day with one minute interval
|
||||
only for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series) with names starting with `node_` or `process_` prefixes.
|
||||
The de-duplication for other time series can be configured independently via additional `-downsampling.period` command-line flags.
|
||||
|
||||
If the time series doesn't match any `filter`, then it isn't downsampled. If the time series matches multiple filters, then the downsampling
|
||||
for the first matching `filter` is applied. For example, `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:1d:30s,{__name__=~"node_.*"}:1d:5m'` de-duplicates
|
||||
samples older than one day with 30 seconds interval across all the time series with `env="prod"` [label](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#labels),
|
||||
even if their names start with `node_` prefix. All the other time series with names starting with `node_` prefix are de-duplicated with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
|
||||
If downsampling shouldn't be applied to some time series matching the given `filter`, then pass `-downsampling.period=filter:0s:0s` command-line flag to VictoriaMetrics.
|
||||
For example, if series with `env="prod"` label shouldn't be downsampled, then pass `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:0s:0s'` command-line flag in front of other `-downsampling.period` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
Downsampling is applied independently per each time series and leaves a single [raw sample](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#raw-samples)
|
||||
with the biggest [timestamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) on the configured interval, in the same way as [deduplication](#deduplication) does.
|
||||
It works the best for [counters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#counter) and [histograms](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#histogram),
|
||||
as their values are always increasing. But downsampling [gauges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#gauge)
|
||||
and [summaries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#summary)
|
||||
would mean losing the changes within the downsampling interval. Please note, you can use [recording rules](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#rules)
|
||||
or [steaming aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation.html)
|
||||
as their values are always increasing. Downsampling [gauges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#gauge)
|
||||
and [summaries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#summary) lose some changes within the downsampling interval,
|
||||
since only the last sample on the given interval is left and the rest of samples are dropped.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use [recording rules](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#rules) or [steaming aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation.html)
|
||||
to apply custom aggregation functions, like min/max/avg etc., in order to make gauges more resilient to downsampling.
|
||||
|
||||
Downsampling can reduce disk space usage and improve query performance if it is applied to time series with big number
|
||||
of samples per each series. The downsampling doesn't improve query performance if the database contains big number
|
||||
of time series with small number of samples per each series (aka [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate)),
|
||||
since downsampling doesn't reduce the number of time series. In this case the majority of query time is spent on searching for the matching time series
|
||||
instead of processing the found samples.

of samples per each series. The downsampling doesn't improve query performance and doesn't reduce disk space if the database contains big number
|
||||
of time series with small number of samples per each series, since downsampling doesn't reduce the number of time series.
|
||||
So there is little sense in applying downsampling to time series with [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate).
|
||||
In this case the majority of query time is spent on searching for the matching time series instead of processing the found samples.
|
||||
It is possible to use [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation.html) in [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Downsampling happens during [background merges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage)
|
||||
and can't be performed if there is not enough of free disk space or if vmstorage
|
||||
is in [read-only mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#readonly-mode).

It cannot be performed if there is not enough of free disk space or if vmstorage is in [read-only mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#readonly-mode).
|
||||
|
||||
Please, note that intervals of `-downsampling.period` must be multiples of each other.
|
||||
In case [deduplication](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#deduplication) is enabled value of `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` must also be multiple of `-downsampling.period` intervals.
|
||||
This is required to ensure consistency of deduplication and downsampling results.
|
||||
In case [deduplication](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#deduplication) is enabled, value of `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` command-line flag must also
|

be multiple of `-downsampling.period` intervals. This is required to ensure consistency of deduplication and downsampling results.
|
||||
|
||||
The downsampling can be evaluated for free by downloading and using enterprise binaries from [the releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/latest).
|
||||
See how to request a free trial license [here](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/trial/).
|
||||
It is safe updating `-downsampling.period` during VictoriaMetrics restarts - the updated downsampling configuration will be
|
||||
applied eventually to historical data during [background merges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage).

## Downsampling
|
||||
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag. For example:
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling via `-downsampling.period=offset:interval` command-line flag.
|
||||
This command-line flag instructs leaving the last sample per each `interval` for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
[samples](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#raw-samples) older than the `offset`. For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs leaving the last sample
|
||||
per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days, while the rest of samples aren't downsampled.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to [deduplicate](#deduplication) samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
The `-downsampling.period` command-line flag can be specified multiple times in order to apply different downsampling levels for different time ranges (aka multi-level downsampling).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs leaving the last sample per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days,
|
||||
while leaving the last sample per each 1-hour interval for samples older than 180 days.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval and to deduplicate samples older than 180 days with 1 hour interval.
|
||||
VictoriaMetrics supports configuring independent downsampling per different sets of [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
via `-downsampling.period=filter:offset:interval` syntax. In this case the given `offset:interval` downsampling is applied only to time series matching the given `filter`.
|
||||
The `filter` can contain arbitrary [series filter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#filtering).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period='{__name__=~"(node|process)_.*"}:1d:1m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than one day with one minute interval
|
||||
only for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series) with names starting with `node_` or `process_` prefixes.
|
||||
The de-duplication for other time series can be configured independently via additional `-downsampling.period` command-line flags.
|
||||
|
||||
If the time series doesn't match any `filter`, then it isn't downsampled. If the time series matches multiple filters, then the downsampling
|
||||
for the first matching `filter` is applied. For example, `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:1d:30s,{__name__=~"node_.*"}:1d:5m'` de-duplicates
|
||||
samples older than one day with 30 seconds interval across all the time series with `env="prod"` [label](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#labels),
|
||||
even if their names start with `node_` prefix. All the other time series with names starting with `node_` prefix are de-duplicated with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
|
||||
If downsampling shouldn't be applied to some time series matching the given `filter`, then pass `-downsampling.period=filter:0s:0s` command-line flag to VictoriaMetrics.
|
||||
For example, if series with `env="prod"` label shouldn't be downsampled, then pass `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:0s:0s'` command-line flag in front of other `-downsampling.period` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
Downsampling is applied independently per each time series and leaves a single [raw sample](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#raw-samples)

## Downsampling
|
||||
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag. For example:
|
||||
[VictoriaMetrics Enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) supports multi-level downsampling via `-downsampling.period=offset:interval` command-line flag.
|
||||
This command-line flag instructs leaving the last sample per each `interval` for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
[samples](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#raw-samples) older than the `offset`. For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs leaving the last sample
|
||||
per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days, while the rest of samples aren't downsampled.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to [deduplicate](#deduplication) samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
The `-downsampling.period` command-line flag can be specified multiple times in order to apply different downsampling levels for different time ranges (aka multi-level downsampling).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs leaving the last sample per each 5-minute interval for samples older than 30 days,
|
||||
while leaving the last sample per each 1-hour interval for samples older than 180 days.
|
||||
|
||||
* `-downsampling.period=30d:5m,180d:1h` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than 30 days with 5 minutes interval and to deduplicate samples older than 180 days with 1 hour interval.
|
||||
VictoriaMetrics supports configuring independent downsampling per different sets of [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series)
|
||||
via `-downsampling.period=filter:offset:interval` syntax. In this case the given `offset:interval` downsampling is applied only to time series matching the given `filter`.
|
||||
The `filter` can contain arbitrary [series filter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#filtering).
|
||||
For example, `-downsampling.period='{__name__=~"(node|process)_.*"}:1d:1m` instructs VictoriaMetrics to deduplicate samples older than one day with one minute interval
|
||||
only for [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series) with names starting with `node_` or `process_` prefixes.
|
||||
The de-duplication for other time series can be configured independently via additional `-downsampling.period` command-line flags.
|
||||
|
||||
If the time series doesn't match any `filter`, then it isn't downsampled. If the time series matches multiple filters, then the downsampling
|
||||
for the first matching `filter` is applied. For example, `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:1d:30s,{__name__=~"node_.*"}:1d:5m'` de-duplicates
|
||||
samples older than one day with 30 seconds interval across all the time series with `env="prod"` [label](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#labels),
|
||||
even if their names start with `node_` prefix. All the other time series with names starting with `node_` prefix are de-duplicated with 5 minutes interval.
|
||||
|
||||
If downsampling shouldn't be applied to some time series matching the given `filter`, then pass `-downsampling.period=filter:0s:0s` command-line flag to VictoriaMetrics.
|
||||
For example, if series with `env="prod"` label shouldn't be downsampled, then pass `-downsampling.period='{env="prod"}:0s:0s'` command-line flag in front of other `-downsampling.period` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
Downsampling is applied independently per each time series and leaves a single [raw sample](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#raw-samples)
|
||||
with the biggest [timestamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) on the configured interval, in the same way as [deduplication](#deduplication) does.
|
||||
It works the best for [counters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#counter) and [histograms](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#histogram),
|
||||
as their values are always increasing. But downsampling [gauges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#gauge)
|
||||
and [summaries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#summary)
|
||||
would mean losing the changes within the downsampling interval. Please note, you can use [recording rules](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#rules)
|
||||
or [steaming aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation.html)
|
||||
as their values are always increasing. Downsampling [gauges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#gauge)
|
||||
and [summaries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#summary) lose some changes within the downsampling interval,
|
||||
since only the last sample on the given interval is left and the rest of samples are dropped.
