- Return meta-labels for the discovered targets via promutils.Labels
instead of map[string]string. This improves the speed of generating
meta-labels for discovered targets by up to 5x.
- Remove memory allocations in hot paths during ScrapeWork generation.
The ScrapeWork contains scrape settings for a single discovered target.
This improves the service discovery speed by up to 2x.
Previously the `quotesEscape` function was escaping only double quotes.
This wasn't enough, since the input string could contain other special chars,
which must be escaped when put inside JSON string. For example, carriage return and line feed chars (\n\r),
backslash char, etc. This led to the following issues, which were improperly fixed:
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/890 - this issue
was "fixed" by introducing the `crlfEscape` function, which led to unnecessary
complications in user templates, while not fixing various corner cases
such as backslash chars in the input string.
See 1de15ad490
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 - this issue
was "fixed" by urlencoding the whole string passed to -external.alert.source
command-line flag. This led to invalid urls, which couldn't be parsed by Grafana.
See 00c838353d
and 4bd0244599
This commit properly encodes the input string passed to `quotesEscape`, so it can be safely embedded inside JSON strings.
This commit deprecates crlfEscape template function and adds the following new template functions:
- strvalue and stripDomain - these functions are supported by Prometheus, so they were added
for compatibility purposes.
- jsonEscape and htmlEscape for converting the input string to valid quoted JSON string
and for html-escaping the input string, so it could be safely embedded as a plaintext
into html.
This commit also documents all supported template functions at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#template-functions
The deprecated crlfEscape function isn't documented on purpose, since its usefulness is negative in general case.
Due to auto-refactoring, the filed `state` was automatically
renamed to `ruleState` when the entity with the same name
was renamed in other file. Reverting the change.

This reduces CPU usage when performing metric-level relabeling, where labels' sorting isn't needed.

Signed-off-by: hagen1778 <roman@victoriametrics.com>
Function `ValidateTemplates`, used on the vmalert startup,
is supposed to check whether used templates and functions
in loaded rules are correct. The function was parsing
and executing loaded templates.
However, rules may contain functions which can't be executed
without values (label values or query results), like `slice`.
Because of this, validation for completely valid expression
`{{ slice $labels.job 9 }}` will fail since `$labels.job`
is empty during validation.
This PR updates `ValidateTemplates` function to only parse
templates without executing them.

add progress bars to the VM importer
The new progress bars supposed to display the processing speed per each
VM importer worker. This info should help to identify if there is a bottleneck
on the VM side during the import process, without waiting for its finish.
The new progress bars can be disabled by passing `vm-disable-progress-bar` flag.
Plotting multiple progress bars requires using experimental progress bar pool
from github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3. Switch to progress bar pool required changes
in all import modes.
The openTSDB mode wasn't changed due to its implementation, which implies individual progress
bars per each series. Because of this, using the pool wasn't possible.

To improve compatibility with Prometheus alerting the order of
templates processing has changed.
Before, vmalert did all labels processing beforehand. It meant
all extra labels (such as `alertname`, `alertgroup` or rule labels)
were available in templating. All collisions were resolved in favour
of extra labels.
In Prometheus, only labels from the received metric are available in
templating, so no collisions are possible.
This change makes vmalert's behaviour similar to Prometheus.
For example, consider alerting rule which is triggered by time series
with `alertname` label. In vmalert, this label would be overriden
by alerting rule's name everywhere: for alert labels, for annotations, etc.
In Prometheus, it would be overriden for alert's labels only, but in annotations
the original label value would be available.

* vmalert: split alert's `Start` field into `ActiveAt` and `Start`
The `ActiveAt` field identifies when alert becomes active for rules

For a long time notifier.Addr flag was required. The assumption was that vmalert will
be always used for alerting. However, practice shows that some users need only
recording rules. In this case, requirement of notifier.Addr is ambigious.
The change verifies if loaded config contains recording or alerting rules and
if there are corresponding flags set. This is true for initial config load
and hot reload.

Previously, ID for alert entity was generated without alertname or groupname.
This led to collision, when multiple alerting rules within the same group
producing same labelsets. E.g. expr: `sum(metric1) by (job) > 0` and
expr: `sum(metric2) by (job) > 0` could result into same labelset `job: "job"`.
The issue affects only UI and Web API parts of vmalert, because alert ID is used
only for displaying and finding active alerts. It does not affect state restore
procedure, since this label was added right before pushing to remote storage.
The change now adds all extra labels right after receiving response from the datasource.
And removes adding extra labels before pushing to remote storage.
Additionally, change introduces a new flag `Restored` which will be displayed in UI
for alerts which have been restored from remote storage on restart.
* vmalert: add flag to limit the max value for auto-resovle duration for alerts
