- Make sure that invalid/missing TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files at vmagent startup
don't prevent from processing the corresponding scrape targets after the file becomes correct,
without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously scrape targets with invalid TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files
were permanently dropped after the first attempt to initialize them, and they didn't
appear until the next vmagent reload or the next change in other places of the loaded scrape configs.
- Make sure that TLS CA is properly re-loaded from file after it changes without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously the old TLS CA was used until vmagent restart.
- Properly handle errors during http request creation for the second attempt to send data to remote system
at vmagent and vmalert. Previously failed request creation could result in nil pointer dereferencing,
since the returned request is nil on error.
- Add more context to the logged error during AWS sigv4 request signing before sending the data to -remoteWrite.url at vmagent.
Previously it could miss details on the source of the request.
- Do not create a new HTTP client per second when generating OAuth2 token needed to put in Authorization header
of every http request issued by vmagent during service discovery or target scraping.
Re-use the HTTP client instead until the corresponding scrape config changes.
- Cache error at lib/promauth.Config.GetAuthHeader() in the same way as the auth header is cached,
e.g. the error is cached for a second now. This should reduce load on CPU and OAuth2 server
when auth header cannot be obtained because of temporary error.
- Share tls.Config.GetClientCertificate function among multiple scrape targets with the same tls_config.
Cache the loaded certificate and the error for one second. This should significantly reduce CPU load
when scraping big number of targets with the same tls_config.
- Allow loading TLS certificates from HTTP and HTTPs urls by specifying these urls at `tls_config->cert_file` and `tls_config->key_file`.
- Improve test coverage at lib/promauth
- Skip unreachable or invalid files specified at `scrape_config_files` during vmagent startup, since these files may become valid later.
Previously vmagent was exitting in this case.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4959
c9375cac5e
Descriptions were updated in attempt to make it more clear for readers,
re-phrasing and linking missing docs.
`eval_delay` was added to tests to verify it can be unmarshalled.
`eval_delay` is now applied before timestamp alignment to make it more predictable.
Before, if delay < interval the timestamp won't be aligned.
`eval_delay` and `eval_offset` was added to API output.
`PreviouslySentSeriesToRW` converted to private `previouslySentSeriesToRW`.

- Make more clear the docs at docs/enterprise.md, so readers could figure out faster
on how to obtain enterprise key and how to pass it to VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components.
- Fix examples at docs/enterprise.md, which were referring to non-existing `-license-file` command-line flag.
The `-licenseFile` command-line flag must be used instead.
- Improve the description of `-license*` command-line flags, so users could understand
faster how to use them.
- Improve the warning message, which is emitted when the deprecated -eula command-line flag is passed,
so the user could figure out how to switch faster to -license* command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components with both -license and -licenseFile command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components when -licensFile points to an empty file.
- Consistently use the phrase "This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries" across
all the enterprise-specific command-line flags.
- Remove unneeded level of indirection for `noLicenseMessage` and `expiredMessage` string contants
in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
- Remove unneded `return` statements after `logger.Fatalf()` calls, since these calls exit the app and never return.
- Make sure that the info log message about successful license verification is emitted
when the license is verified successfully. Previously the error message could be logged
when the license payload is invalid or if it misses some required features.
* vmalert: add `query_time_alignment` for rule group
1. add `eval_alignment` attribute for group which by default is true. So group rule query stamp will be aligned with interval and propagated to ALERT metrics and the messages for alertmanager;
2. deprecate `datasource.queryTimeAlignment` flag.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5049
Strip sensitive information such as auth headers or passwords from datasource, remote-read,
remote-write or notifier URLs in log messages or UI. This behavior is by default and is controlled via
`-datasource.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL`, `remoteWrite.showURL` or `-notifier.showURL` cmd-line flags.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5044
Adds `eval_offset` attribute for Groups.
If specified, Group will be evaluated at the exact time offset on the range of [0...evaluationInterval].
The setting might be useful for cron-like rules which must be evaluated at specific moments of time.

app/vmalert: detect alerting rules which don't match any series at all
vmalert starts to understand /query responses which contain object:
```
"stats":{"seriesFetched": "42"}
```
If object is present, vmalert parses it and populates a new field
`SeriesFetched`. This field is then used to populate the new metric
`vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` and to
display warnings in the vmalert's UI.
If response doesn't contain the new object (Prometheus or
VictoriaMetrics earlier than v1.90), then `SeriesFetched=nil`.
In this case, UI will contain no additional warnings.
And `vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` will
be set to `-1`. Negative value of the metric will help to compile
correct alerting rule in follow-up.
Thanks for the initial implementation to @Haleygo

* vmalert: speed up state restore procedure on start
Alerts state restore procedure has been changed to become asynchronous.
It doesn't block groups start anymore which significantly improves vmalert's startup time.
Instead, state restore is called by each group in their goroutines after the first rules
evaluation.
While previously state restore attempt was made for all loaded alerting rules,
now it is called only for alerts which became active after the first evaluation.
This reduces the amount of API calls to the configured remote read URL.
This also means that `remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors` command-line flag becomes deprecated now
and will have no effect if configured.

Change default value for command-line flag `datasource.queryStep` from `0s` to `5m`.
Param `step` is added by vmalert to every rule evaluation request sent to datasource.
Before this change, `step` was equal to group's evaluation interval by default.
Param `step` for instant queries defines how far VM can look back for the last written data point.

ioutil.ReadAll is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is OK to switch from ioutil.ReadAll to io.ReadAll.
This is a follow-up for 02ca2342ab
Other components, such as `vmagent`, mark these flags as sensitive and
hide them from the `/metrics` endpoint by default. This commit adds
similar handling to the `vmalert` component, hiding them by default, to
prevent logging of secrets inappropriately.
Showing of these values is controlled by an additional flag.
