+thousands of lines in one payload. Every line is represented by the following objects:
+* `metric` - describes a [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#time-series) with arbitrary
+number of [labels](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#labels). Please note, `__name__` label is required.
+* `values` - list of [values](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#raw-samples) belonging to this time series;
+* `timestamps` - list of unix timestamps in milliseconds associated with each value from `values` list according to their order.
