# CHANGELOG
* FEATURE: vmalert: add ability to run alerting and recording rules for multiple tenants. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/740) and [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#multitenancy).
* FEATURE: vminsert: add support for data ingestion via other `vminsert` nodes. This allows building multi-level data ingestion paths in VictoriaMetrics cluster by writing data from one level of `vminsert` nodes to another level of `vminsert` nodes. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multi-level-cluster-setup) and [this comment](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/541#issuecomment-835487858) for details.
* FEATURE: vmagent: reload `bearer_token_file`, `credentials_file` and `password_file` contents every second. This allows dynamically changing the contents of these files during target scraping and service discovery without the need to restart `vmagent`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1297).
* FEATURE: vmalert: add flag to control behaviour on startup for state restore errors. 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. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1252).

* FEATURE: add ability to filter `/api/v1/status/tsdb` output with arbitrary [time series selectors](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/#time-series-selectors) passed via `match[]` query args. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#tsdb-stats) and [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1168) for details.
* FEATURE: automatically detect memory and cpu limits for VictoriaMetrics components running under [cgroup v2](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html) environments such as [HashiCorp Nomad](https://www.nomadproject.io/). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1269).
* FEATURE: vmauth: allow `-auth.config` reloading via `/-/reload` http endpoint. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1194).
* FEATURE: add `timezone_offset(tz)` function. It returns offset in seconds for the given timezone `tz` relative to UTC. This can be useful when combining with datetime-related functions. For example, `day_of_week(time()+timezone_offset("America/Los_Angeles"))` would return weekdays for `America/Los_Angeles` time zone. Special `Local` time zone can be used for returning an offset for the time zone set on the host where VictoriaMetrics runs. See [MetricsQL docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html) for more details.
* BUGFIX: vmagent: do not retry scraping targets, which don't support HTTP. This should reduce CPU load and network usage at `vmagent` and at scrape target. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1289).
* BUGFIX: vmagent: fix possible race when refreshing `role: endpoints` and `role: endpointslices` scrape targets in `kubernetes_sd_config`. Prevoiusly `pod` objects could be updated after the related `endpoints` object update. This could lead to missing scrape targets. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1240).

### Multitenancy
There are the following approaches for alerting and recording rules across [multiple tenants](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multitenancy) exist:
* To run a separate `vmalert` instance per each tenant. The corresponding tenant must be specified in `-datasource.url` command-line flag according to [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#url-format). For example, `/path/to/vmalert -datasource.url=http://vmselect:8481/select/123/prometheus` would run alerts against `AccountID=123`. For recording rules the `-remoteWrite.url` command-line flag must contain the url for the specific tenant as well. For example, `-remoteWrite.url=http://vminsert:8480/insert/123/prometheus` would write recording rules to `AccountID=123`.
* To specify `tenant` parameter per each alerting and recording group if [enterprise version of vmalert](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) is used with `-clusterMode` command-line flag. For example:
```yaml
groups:
- name: rules_for_tenant_123
tenant: "123"
rules:
# Rules for accountID=123
- name: rules_for_tenant_456:789
tenant: "456:789"
rules:
# Rules for accountID=456, projectID=789
```
If `-clusterMode` is enabled, then `-datasource.url`, `-remoteRead.url` and `-remoteWrite.url` must contain only the hostname without tenant id. For example: `-datasource.url=http://vmselect:8481` . `vmselect` automatically adds the specified tenant to urls per each recording rule in this case.
The enterprise version of vmalert is available in `vmutils-*-enterprise.tar.gz` files at [release page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) and in `*-enterprise` tags at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmalert/tags).
