VictoriaMetrics returns `503 Service Unavailable` http error for requests with time ranges outside the configured retention
if `-denyQueriesOutsideRetention` command-line flag is set.
* 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.
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.
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
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.
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
Uniqueness of rule is now defined by combination of its name, expression and
labels. The hash of the combination is now used as rule ID and identifies rule within the group.
Set of rules from coreos/kube-prometheus was added for testing purposes to
verify compatibility. The check also showed that `vmalert` doesn't support
`query` template function that was mentioned as limitation in README.
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
Before the change we were sending notifications to notifier
if following conditions are met:
* alert is in Fire state
* alert is in Inactive state
We were sending Inactive notifications to resolve alert ASAP.
Unfortunately, we were sending resolves for Pending alerts that become
Inactive, which is wrong.
In this change we delete alert from the active list if
it was Pending and become Inactive. In this way we now
have Inactive alerts only if they were in state Fire before.
See test change for example.
