vmalert: support configuration file for notifiers
* vmalert notifiers now can be configured via file
see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#notifier-configuration-file
* add support of Consul service discovery for notifiers config
see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1947
* add UI section for currently loaded/discovered notifiers
* deprecate `-rule.configCheckInterval` in favour of `-configCheckInterval`
* add ability to suppress logs for duplicated targets for notifiers discovery
* change behaviour of `vmalert_alerts_send_errors_total` - it now accounts
for failed alerts, not HTTP calls.
* vmalert: check if remoteWrite is configured for replay mode
The purpose of `replay` mode is to backfill results of recording
or alerting rules. So `remoteWrite.url` should be required.
Otherwise, process can fail on attempt to send data.

* vmalert: introduce additional HTTP URL params per-group configuration
The new group field `params` allows to configure custom HTTP URL params
per each group. These params will be applied to every request before
executing rule's expression. Hot config reload is also supported.
Field `extra_filter_labels` was deprecated in favour of `params` field.
vmalert will print deprecation log message if config file contains
the deprecated field.
`params` fields are supported by both Prometheus and Graphite datasource types.

* vmalert: set higher priority for `params` setting
If there would be a conflict between URL params set in `datasource.url` flag
and params in group definition the latter will have higher priority.

Previously, vmalert would print an err message and set vmalert_config_last_reload_successful=0
only once during a hot reload of a bad config. Such behaviour may result into non noticed
event of a bad config reload attempt
Now, it continues to print error messages and keep vmalert_config_last_reload_successful state
until successful attempt will be made or config state will be rolled back to prev state.

Regression was introduced during code refactoring. It potentially
could lead to situation when SIGHUP signals were ignored while
vmalert was still busy with initing group manager.

The source link is controlled by `external.url` and `external.alert.source`
flags, in the same way as for alertmanager notifications.
The source link is added to Alerts list view, and specific Alert view.
* vmalert: add flag to limit the max value for auto-resovle duration for alerts
The new flag `rule.maxResolveDuration` suppose to limit max value for
alert.End param, which is used by notifiers like Alertmanager for alerts auto resolve.

* vmalert: allow extra GET params in datasource package
ExtraParams will be added as GET params to every HTTP request made by datasource.
The `roundDigits` param, for example, was substituted by corresponding extra param.
* vmalert: add nocache=1 param for replay process
The `nocache=1` param is VictoriaMetrics specific parameter which prevents it
from caching and boundaries aligning for queries. We set it to avoid cache
pollution in `replay` mode and also to avoid unnecessary time range boundaries
alignment.
* vmalert: mention nocache=1 in replay description
* vmalert: fix bug with unused param
* vmalert: remove `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric
The summary for `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric gives no additional
value comparing to `vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds` metric.
* vmalert: update config reload success metric properly
Previously, if there was unsuccessfull attempt to reload config and then
rollback to previous version - the metric remained set to 0.
* vmalert: add Grafana dashboard to overview application metrics
* docker: include vmalert target into list for scraping
* vmalert: extend notifier metrics with addr label
The change adds an `addr` label to metrics for alerts_sent and alerts_send_errors
to identify which exact address is having issues.
The according change was made to vmalert dashboard.
* vmalert: update documentation and docker environment for vmalert's dashboard
Mention Grafana's dashboard in vmalert's README in a new section #Monitoring.
Update docker-compose env to automatically add vmalert's dashboard.
Update docker-compose README with additional info about services.
* vmalert: support rules backfilling (aka `replay`)
vmalert can `replay` configured rules in the past
and backfill results via remote write protocol.
It supports MetricsQL/PromQL storage as data source,
and can backfill data to remote write compatible
storage.
Supports recording and alerting rules `replay`. See more
details in README.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/836
* vmalert: review fixes
* vmalert: readme fixes
New flag `-rule.configCheckInterval` defines how often `vmalert` will re-read
config file. If it detects any changes, the config will be reloaded.
This behaviour is turned off by default.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/512
Alerting rules now can return specific error type ErrStateRestore to indicate
whether restore state procedure failed. Such errors were returned and logged
before as well. But now user can specify whether to just log these errors
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=true) or to stop the process
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=false). The latter is important when VM isn't
ready yet to serve queries from vmalert and it needs to wait.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1252
* changes vmalert Querier with per rule querier
it allows to changes some parametrs based on rule setting
for instance - alert type, tenant for cluster version or event endpoint url.
The commit adds a support for template function `query`,
`first` and `value`. The function `query` executes
a MetricsQL query for active alerts. In vmalert we
update templates on every evaluation for active alerts
to keep them up to date. With `query` func it may become
a perf issue since it will fire a query on every execution.
We should keep it in mind for now.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/539
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.
See also #708
`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.
* 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.
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.
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
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
* feat: add remoteWrite.maxQueueSize to reduce queue full
* rename remote(write|read) flags to remote(Write|Read) for the sake of consistency

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.
* app/vmalert: restore alerts state from datasource metrics
Vmalert will restore alerts state for rules that have `rule.For` > 0 from previously written timeseries via `remotewrite.url` flag.
* app/vmalert: mention remotewerite and remoteread configuration in README
