On config reload event `vmalert` reloads configuration for every group. While
it works for simple configurations, the more complex and heavy installations may
suffer from frequent config reloads.
The change introduces the `checksum` field for every group and is set to md5 hash
of yaml configuration. The checksum will change if on any change to group
definition like rules order or annotation change. Comparing the `checksum` field
on config reload event helps to detect if group should be updated.
The groups update is now done concurrently, so reload duration will be limited by
the slowest group now.
Partially solves #691 by improving config reload speed.
This should reduce disk space usage when scraping targets containing metrics with identical names
such as `node_cpu_seconds_total`, histograms, quantiles, etc.
Expose `vm_timestamps_blocks_merged_total` and `vm_timestamps_bytes_saved_total` metrics for monitoring
the effectiveness of timestamp blocks merging.
These functions returns the number of raw samples that don't exceed `le` or are bigger than `gt`.
These functions are complement to already existing `share_le_over_time(m[d], le)` and `share_gt_over_time(m[d], gt)`.
* VMAlert start with empty rules dir
There are some applications (operator for instance), that generates alerts configuration at runtime
and vmalert must start correctly without rules to support this behaviour.
Later application will add rules files and send SIGHUP to vmalert,
which will trigger reading rules files and start rules exectuion.
Removing rules files with SIGHUP signal must stop rules execution and
vmalert will wait for new rules.
* imports sorted
* added test cases for empty rules, removed blank line
* fixed imports conflict
* updated tests
* feat: spread load of rule evaluation by group when starting new groups
* review: reduce the resulting diff.
* Update app/vmalert/group.go

Description for `-rule` flag uses as example specific chars like asterisks
which could be interpreted wrong by different shells. To avoid this, description
now contains quoted flag values.

The previous notion was inconsistent with what `decimal.Round` does.
According to [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures) rounding
applied to all significant figures, not just decimal ones.
* app/vmalert: extend metrics set exported by `vmalert` #573
New metrics were added to improve observability:
+ vmalert_alerts_pending{alertname, group} - number of pending alerts per group
per alert;
+ vmalert_alerts_acitve{alertname, group} - number of active alerts per group
per alert;
+ vmalert_alerts_error{alertname, group} - is 1 if alertname ended up with error
during prev execution, is 0 if no errors happened;
+ vmalert_recording_rules_error{recording, group} - is 1 if recording rule
ended up with error during prev execution, is 0 if no errors happened;
* vmalert_iteration_total{group, file} - now contains group and file name labels.
This should improve control over specific groups;
* vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds{group, file} - now contains group and file name labels. This should improve control over specific groups;
Some collisions for alerts and recording rules are possible, because neither
group name nor alert/recording rule name are unique for compatibility reasons.
Commit contains list of TODOs for Unregistering metrics since groups and rules
are ephemeral and could be removed without application restart. In order to
unlock Unregistering feature corresponding PR was filed - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics/pull/13
* app/vmalert: extend metrics set exported by `vmalert` #573
The changes are following:
* add an ID label to rules metrics, since `name` collisions within one group is
a common case - see the k8s example alerts;
* supports metrics unregistering on rule updates. Consider the case when one rule
was added or removed from the group, or the whole group was added or removed.
The change depends on https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics/pull/16
where race condition for Unregister method was fixed.
`external.label` flag supposed to help to distinguish alert or recording rules
source in situations when more than one `vmalert` runs for the same datasource
or AlertManager.
This function works with both Prometheus-style and VictoriaMetrics-style buckets.
The function removes buckets with the lowest values in order to reserve the highest precision.
The function is useful for building heatmaps in Grafana from too big number of buckets.
Previously the time spent on inverted index search could exceed the configured `-search.maxQueryDuration`.
This commit stops searching in inverted index on query timeout.
Previously the enabled relabeling with `-relabelConfig` command-line flag could result in missing labels
if a single Influx line protocol message contains multiple field values.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/638
This should prvent from inflated `increase()` results for time series that start from big initial values.
Such cases may occur when a label value changes in a metric without counter reset.
Previously multiple goroutines could access remoteWriteCtx.tss concurrently, which could lead to data race
and improper relabeling. Now each goroutine has its own copy of tss during relabeling.

* fix(vmselect): change current queries' pid from int64 counter to uuid
* feat(vmselect): add auth to internal operations like `/resetRollupResultCache`, `/query/list` and `/query/kill`. add flag `internalAuthKey` for these auth

* feat(vmselect): truncate query string in current running query list API since the size of query string might be large;
use query string's pointer in struct `query` for the same reason;
add query info API to get full access of query's info;
Heavy queries could result in the lack of CPU resources for processing the current data ingestion stream.
Prevent this by delaying queries' execution until free resources are available for data ingestion.
Expose `vm_search_delays_total` metric, which may be used in for alerting when there is no enough CPU resources
for data ingestion and/or for executing heavy queries.

* app/vmalert: add retries to remotewrite
Remotewrite pkg now does limited number of retries if write request failed.
This suppose to make vmalert state persisting more reliable.
New metrics were added to remotewrite in order to track rows/bytes sent/dropped.
defaultFlushInterval was increased from 1s to 5s for sanity reasons.

* 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.
Previously vminsert may spread data for a single time series across all the available vmstorage nodes
when vmstorage nodes couldn't handle the given ingestion rate. This could lead to increased usage
of CPU and memory on every vmstorage node, since every vmstorage node had to register all the time
series seen in the cluster. Now a time series may spread to maximum two vmstorage nodes under heavy load.
Every time series is routed to a single vmstorage node under normal load.
As per documentation on `label_replace` function: "If the regular
expression doesn't match then the timeseries is returned unchanged".
Currently this behavior is not enforced, if a regexp on an existing
tag doesn't match then the tag value is copied as-is in the destination
tag. This fix first checks that the regular expression matches the
source tag before applying anything.
Given the current implementation, this fix also changes the behavior
of the **MetricsQL** `label_transform` function which does not
document this behavior at the moment.
app/vmalert: add support for TLS configuration
Add support for TLS optional configuration in a similar fashion to what
is currently supported in other vmutils such as vmagent. TLS
configuration options are distinct for datasource, remoteRead,
remoteWrite as well as notifier.
Previously VictoriaMetrics was processing up to 32 time series in a single goroutine.
This could be slow if each time series contains big number of data points (10M+ or more), since only a single CPU core could be loaded with work,
while other CPU cores were idle. Fix this by launching GOMAXPROCS workers for time series processing.
This should help with https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/572
These actions may be useful for filtering out unneeded targets and/or metrics if they contain equal label values.
For example, the following rule would leave the target only if __meta_kubernetes_annotation_prometheus_io_port
equals __meta_kubernetes_pod_container_port_number:
- action: keep_if_equal
source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_annotation_prometheus_io_port, __meta_kubernetes_pod_container_port_number]
app/vmalert: Support custom URL for alerts source
Add flag `external.alert.source` for configuring custom URL
for alert's source. This may be handy to re-point default source
URL to other systems like Grafana.
Updates #517
