CHANGELOG

tip

  • FEATURE: optimize searching for matching metrics for metric{<label_filters>} queries if <label_filters> contains at least a single filter. For example, the query up{job="foobar"} should find the matching time series much faster than previously.

  • FEATURE: reduce execution times for q1 <binary_op> q2 queries by executing q1 and q2 in parallel.

  • FEATURE: single-node VictoriaMetrics now accepts requests to handlers with /prometheus and /graphite prefixes such as /prometheus/api/v1/query. This improves compatibility with handlers from VictoriaMetrics cluster.

  • FEATURE: expose process_open_fds and process_max_fds metrics. These metrics can be used for alerting when process_open_fds reaches process_max_fds. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/402 and https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1037

  • FEATURE: vmalert: add -datasource.appendTypePrefix command-line option for querying both Prometheus and Graphite datasource in cluster version of VictoriaMetrics. See these docs for details.

  • FEATURE: vmauth: add ability to route requests from a single user to multiple destinations depending on the requested paths. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1064

  • FEATURE: remove dependency on external programs such as cat, grep and cut when detecting cpu and memory limits inside Docker or LXC container.

  • BUGFIX: do not spam error logs when discovering Docker Swarm targets without dedicated IP. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1028 .

  • BUGFIX: properly install timezone data inside base Docker image. This should fix -loggerTimezone usage inside Docker containers.

  • BUGFIX: reduce CPU usage when performing queries with individual filters matching big number of time series.

v1.53.1

  • BUGFIX: vmselect: fix the bug peventing from proper searching by Graphite filter with wildcards such as {__graphite__="foo.*.bar"}.

v1.53.0

  • FEATURE: added vmctl tool to VictoriaMetrics release process. Now it is packaged in vmutils-*.tar.gz archive on the releases page. Source code for vmctl tool has been moved from github.com/VictoriaMetrics/vmctl to github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/app/vmctl.

  • FEATURE: added -loggerTimezone command-line flag for adjusting time zone for timestamps in log messages. By default UTC is used.

  • FEATURE: added -search.maxStepForPointsAdjustment command-line flag, which can be used for disabling adjustment for points returned by /api/v1/query_range handler if such points have timestamps closer than -search.latencyOffset to the current time. Such points may contain incomplete data, so they are substituted by the previous values for step query args smaller than one minute by default.

  • FEATURE: vmselect: added ability to use Graphite-compatible filters in MetricsQL via {__graphite__="foo.*.bar"} syntax. This expression is equivalent to {__name__=~"foo[.][^.]*[.]bar"}, but it works faster and it is easier to use when migrating from Graphite to VictoriaMetrics. This feature deprecates the usage of -search.treatDotsAsIsInRegexps command-line flag.

  • FEATURE: vmselect: added ability to set additional label filters, which must be applied during queries. Such label filters can be set via optional extra_label query arg, which is accepted by querying API handlers. For example, the request to /api/v1/query_range?extra_label=tenant_id=123&query=<query> adds {tenant_id="123"} label filter to the given <query>. It is expected that the extra_label query arg is automatically set by auth proxy sitting in front of VictoriaMetrics. Contact us if you need assistance with such a proxy. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1021 .

  • FEATURE: vmalert: added -datasource.queryStep command-line flag for passing optional step query arg to /api/v1/query endpoint. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1025

  • FEATURE: vmalert: added ability to query Graphite datasource when evaluating alerting and recording rules. See these docs for details.

  • FEATURE: vmagent: added -remoteWrite.roundDigits command-line option for rounding metric values to the given number of decimal digits after the point before sending the metric to the corresponding -remoteWrite.url. This option can be used for improving data compression on the remote storage, because values with lower number of decimal digits can be compressed better than values with bigger number of decimal digits.

  • FEATURE: vmagent: added -remoteWrite.rateLimit command-line flag for limiting data transfer rate to -remoteWrite.url. This may be useful when big amounts of buffered data is sent after temporarily unavailability of the remote storage. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1035

  • FEATURE: vmagent: export the following additional metrics, which may be useful during troubleshooting:

    • vm_promscrape_scrapes_failed_per_url_total
    • vm_promscrape_scrapes_skipped_by_sample_limit_per_url_total
    • vm_promscrape_discovery_requests_total
    • vm_promscrape_discovery_retries_total
    • vm_promscrape_scrape_retries_total
    • vm_promscrape_service_discovery_duration_seconds

  • FEATURE: vmselect: initial implementation for Graphite Render API.

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: reduce HTTP reconnection rate for scrape targets. Previously vmagent could errorneusly close HTTP keep-alive connections more frequently than needed.

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: retry scrape and service discovery requests when the remote server closes HTTP keep-alive connection. Previously disable_keepalive: true option could be used under scrape_configs section when working with such servers.

v1.52.0

v1.51.0

v1.50.2

v1.50.1

  • FEATURE: vmagent: export vmagent_remotewrite_blocks_sent_total and vmagent_remotewrite_blocks_sent_total metrics for each -remoteWrite.url.

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: properly delete unregistered scrape targets from /targets and /api/v1/targets pages. They weren't deleted due to the bug in v1.50.0.

v1.50.0

  • FEATURE: automatically reset response cache when samples with timestamps older than now - search.cacheTimestampOffset are ingested to VictoriaMetrics. This makes unnecessary disabling response cache during data backfilling or resetting it after backfilling is complete as described in these docs. This feature applies only to single-node VictoriaMetrics. It doesn't apply to cluster version of VictoriaMetrics because vminsert nodes don't know about vmselect nodes where the response cache must be reset.

  • FEATURE: vmalert: add query, first and value functions to alert templates. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/539

  • FEATURE: vmagent: return user-friendly HTML page when requesting /targets page from web browser. The page is returned in the old plaintext format when requesting via curl or similar tool.

  • FEATURE: allow multiple whitespace chars between measurements, fields and timestamp when parsing InfluxDB line protocol. Though InfluxDB line protocol denies multiple whitespace chars between these entities, some apps improperly put multiple whitespace chars. This workaround allows accepting data from such apps.

  • FEATURE: export vm_promscrape_active_scrapers{type="<sd_type>"} metric for tracking the number of active scrapers per each service discovery type.

  • FEATURE: export vm_promscrape_scrapers_started_total{type="<sd_type>"} and vm_promscrape_scrapers_stopped_total{type="<sd_type>"} metrics for tracking churn rate for scrapers per each service discovery type.

  • FEATURE: vmagent: allow setting per--remoteWrite.url command-line flags for -remoteWrite.sendTimeout and -remoteWrite.tlsInsecureSkipVerify.

  • BUGFIX: properly handle * and [...] inside curly braces in query passed to Graphite Metrics API. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/952

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: fix memory leak when big number of targets is discovered via service discovery.

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: properly pass datacenter filter to Consul API server. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/574#issuecomment-740454170

  • BUGFIX: properly handle CPU limits set on the host system or host container. The bugfix may result in lower memory usage on systems with CPU limits. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/946

  • BUGFIX: prevent from duplicate name tag returned from /tags/autoComplete/tags handler. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/942

  • BUGFIX: do not enable strict parsing for -promscrape.config if -promscrape.config.dryRun comand-line flag is set. Strict parsing can be enabled with -promscrape.config.strictParse command-line flag. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/944

  • BUGFIX: vminsert: properly update vm_rpc_rerouted_rows_processed_total metric. Previously it wasn't updated. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/955

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: properly recover when opening incorrectly stored persistent queue. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/964

  • BUGFIX: vmagent: properly handle scrape errors when stream parsing is enabled with -promscrape.streamParse command-line flag or with stream_parse: true per-target config option. Previously such errors weren't reported at /targets page. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/967

  • BUGFIX: assume the previous value is 0 when calculating increase() for the first point on the graph if its value doesn't exceed 100 and the delta between two first points equals to 0. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/962

v1.49.0

  • FEATURE: optimize Consul service discovery speed when discovering big number of services. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/574

  • FEATURE: add label_uppercase(q, label1, ... labelN) and label_lowercase(q, label1, ... labelN) function to MetricsQL for uppercasing and lowercasing values for the given labels. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/936

  • FEATURE: add count_eq_over_time(m[d], N) and count_ne_over_time(m[d], N) for counting the number of samples for m over d that (equal / not equal) to N.

  • FEATURE: do not print usage info for all the command-line flags when incorrect command-line flag is passed. Previously it could be hard reading the error message about incorrect command-line flag because of too big usage info for all the flags.

  • FEATURE: upgrade Go builder from v1.15.5 to v1.15.6 . This fixes issues found in Go since v1.15.5.

  • BUGFIX: properly parse timestamps in OpenMetrics format - they are exposed as floating-point number in seconds instead of integer milliseconds unlike in Prometheus exposition format. See the docs.

  • BUGFIX: return nan for a >bool b query when a equals to nan like Prometheus does. Previously 0 was returned in this case. This applies to any comparison operation with bool modifier. See these docs for details.

  • BUGFIX: properly parse hex numbers in MetricsQL. Previously hex numbers with non-decimal digits such as 0x3b couldn't be parsed.

  • BUGFIX: handle time() cmp_op metric like Prometheus does - i.e. return metric value if cmp_op comparison is true. Previously time() value was returned.

  • BUGFIX: return nan for minute(m) query when m equals to nan like Prometheus does. This applies to all the time-related functions such as day_of_month, day_of_week, days_in_month, hour, month and year.

v1.48.0

v1.47.0

v1.46.0

v1.45.0

v1.44.0

  • FEATURE: automatically add missing label filters to binary operands as described at https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/sysadmin/PrometheusLabelNonOptimization . This should improve performance for queries with missing label filters in binary operands. For example, the following query should work faster now, because it shouldn't fetch and discard time series for node_filesystem_files_free metric without matching labels for the left side of the expression:

       node_filesystem_files{ host="$host", mountpoint="/" } - node_filesystem_files_free

  • FEATURE: vmagent: add Docker Swarm service discovery (aka dockerswarm_sd_config). See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/656

  • FEATURE: add ability to export data in CSV format. See these docs for details.

  • FEATURE: vmagent: add -promscrape.suppressDuplicateScrapeTargetErrors command-line flag for suppressing duplicate scrape target errors. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/651 and https://victoriametrics.github.io/vmagent.html#troubleshooting .

  • FEATURE: vmagent: show original labels before relabeling is applied on duplicate scrape target errors. This should simplify debugging for incorrect relabeling. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/651

  • FEATURE: vmagent: /targets page now accepts optional show_original_labels=1 query arg for displaying original labels for each target before relabeling is applied. This should simplify debugging for target relabeling configs. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/651

  • FEATURE: add -finalMergeDelay command-line flag for configuring the delay before final merge for per-month partitions. The final merge is started after no new data is ingested into per-month partition during -finalMergeDelay.

  • FEATURE: add vm_rows_added_to_storage_total metric, which shows the total number of rows added to storage since app start. The sum(rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total)) can be smaller than sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total)) if certain metrics are dropped due to relabeling. The sum(rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total)) can be bigger than sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total)) if replication is enabled.

  • FEATURE: keep metric name after applying MetricsQL functions, which don't change time series meaning. The list of such functions:

    • keep_last_value
    • keep_next_value
    • interpolate
    • running_min
    • running_max
    • running_avg
    • range_min
    • range_max
    • range_avg
    • range_first
    • range_last
    • range_quantile
    • smooth_exponential
    • ceil
    • floor
    • round
    • clamp_min
    • clamp_max
    • max_over_time
    • min_over_time
    • avg_over_time
    • quantile_over_time
    • mode_over_time
    • geomean_over_time
    • holt_winters
    • predict_linear See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/674

  • BUGFIX: properly handle stale time series after K8S deployment. Previously such time series could be double-counted. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/748

  • BUGFIX: return a single time series at max from absent() function like Prometheus does.

  • BUGFIX: vmalert: accept days, weeks and years in for: part of config like Prometheus does. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/817

  • BUGFIX: fix mode_over_time(m[d]) calculations. Previously the function could return incorrect results.
