# Reader
<!--
There are 4 sources available to read data into VM Anomaly Detection from: VictoriaMetrics, (ND)JSON file, QueryRange, or CSV file. Depending on the data source, different parameters should be specified in the config file in the `reader` section.
-->
VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection (`vmanomaly`) primarily uses [VmReader](#vm-reader) to ingest data. This reader focuses on fetching time-series data directly from VictoriaMetrics with the help of powerful [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html) expressions for aggregating, filtering and grouping your data, ensuring seamless integration and efficient data handling.
Future updates will introduce additional readers, expanding the range of data sources `vmanomaly` can work with.

Config file example:
```yaml
reader:
class: "reader.vm.VmReader"
datasource_url: "http://localhost:8428/"
tenant_id: "0:0"
queries:
ingestion_rate: 'sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total[5m])) by (type) > 0'

```
### Healthcheck metrics
`VmReader` exposes [several healthchecks metrics](./monitoring.html#reader-behaviour-metrics).
<!--
# TODO: uncomment and maintain after multimodel config refactor, 2nd priority
## NDJSON reader
Accepts data in the same format as <code>/export</code>.
File content example:
```
{"metric":{"__name__":"metric1","job":"vm"},"values":[745487.56,96334.13,277822.84,159596.94],"timestamps":[1640908800000,1640908802000,1640908803000,1640908804000]}
{"metric":{"__name__":"metric2","job":"vm"},"values":[217822.84,159596.94,745487.56,96334.13],"timestamps":[1640908800000,1640908802000,1640908803000,1640908804000]}
```

<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Example</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>class</code></td>
<td><code>"reader.ndjson.NdjsonReader"</code></td>
<td>Name of the class needed to enable reading from JSON line format file.</td>

<td><code>"tests/reader/export.ndjson"</code></td>
<td>Path to file in JSON line format</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Config file example:
```yaml
reader:
class: "reader.ndjson.NdjsonReader"
path: "tests/reader/export.ndjson"
```
## QueryRange
This datasource is VictoriaMetrics handler for [Prometheus querying API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/).
[Range query](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#range-query) executes the query expression at the given time range with the given step.
### Config parameters

<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Example</th>

<tbody>
<tr>

<td><code>"http://localhost:8428/api/v1/query_range?query=sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total[30])) by (type)"</code></td>
<td>URL with query</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Config file example:
```yaml
reader:
class: "reader.query_range.QueryRangeReader"
path: "http://localhost:8428/api/v1/query_range?query=sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total[30])) by (type)"
```
## CSV reader
### Data format
File should be in `.csv` format and must contain 2 columns with the names: `timestamp` and `y` - metric's datetimes and values accordinally. Order of the columns doesn't matter.
* `timestamp` can be represented eather in explicit datetime format like `2021-04-21 05:18:19` or in UNIX time in seconds like `1618982299`.
* `y` should be a numeric value.
File content example:
```
timestamp,y
2020-07-12 23:09:05,61.0
2020-07-13 23:09:05,63.0
2020-07-14 23:09:05,63.0
2020-07-15 23:09:05,66.0
