* app/vmalert: support multiple notifier urls (#584)
User now can set multiple notifier URLs in the same fashion
as for other vmutils (e.g. vmagent). The same is correct for
TLS setting for every configured URL. Alerts sending is done
in sequential way for respecting the specified URLs order.
* app/vmalert: add basicAuth support for notifier client (#585)
The change adds possibility to set basicAuth creds for notifier
client in the same fasion as for remote write/read and datasource.
The change adds no new functionality and aims to move flags definitions
to subpackages that are using them. This should improve readability
of the main function.
The feature allows to speed up group rules execution by
executing them concurrently.
Change also contains README changes to reflect configuration
details.
* vmalert: Add recording rules support.
Recording rules support required additional service refactoring since
it wasn't planned to support them from the very beginning. The list
of changes is following:
* new entity RecordingRule was added for writing results of MetricsQL
expressions into remote storage;
* interface Rule now unites both recording and alerting rules;
* configuration parser was moved to separate package and now performs
more strict validation;
* new endpoint for listing all groups and rules in json format was added;
* evaluation interval may be set to every particular group;
* vmalert: uncomment tests
* vmalert: rm outdated TODO
* vmalert: fix typos in README
The check for non-nil remoteRead was mistakenly dropped
during refactoring which caused panics when `vmalert`
wasn't configured with `remoteRead` flag.
The change introduces new entity `manager` which replaces
`watchdog`, decouples requestHandler and groups. Manager
supposed to control life cycle of groups, rules and
config reloads.
Groups export an ID method which returns a hash
from filename and group name. ID supposed to be unique
identifier across all loaded groups.
Some tests were added to improve coverage.
Bug with wrong annotation value if $value is used in
templates after metrics being restored fixed.
Notifier interface was extended to accept context.
New set of metrics was introduced for config reload.
