* FEATURE: vmalert: add a command-line flag `-rule.configCheckInterval` for automatic re-reading of `-rule` files without the need to send SIGHUP signal. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/512).
* FEATURE: vmagent: respect the `sample_limit` and `-promscrape.maxScrapeSize` values when scraping targets in [stream parsing mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#stream-parsing-mode). See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1331).
* FEATURE: vmauth: add ability to specify mutliple `url_prefix` entries for balancing the load among multiple `vmselect` and/or `vminsert` nodes in a cluster. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#load-balancing).
* BUGFIX: reduce CPU usage by up to 2x during querying a database with big number of active daily time series. The issue has been introduced in `v1.59.0`.

# vmauth
`vmauth` is a simple auth proxy and router for [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
It reads username and password from [Basic Auth headers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication),
matches them against configs pointed by `-auth.config` command-line flag and proxies incoming HTTP requests to the configured per-user `url_prefix` on successful match.
`vmauth` is a simple auth proxy, router and [load balancer](#load-balancing) for [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
It reads auth credentials from `Authorization` http header ([Basic Auth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) and `Bearer token` is supported),
matches them against configs pointed by [-auth.config](#auth-config) command-line flag and proxies incoming HTTP requests to the configured per-user `url_prefix` on successful match.

accounting and rate limiting such as [vmgateway](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmgateway.html).
## Load balancing
Each `url_prefix` in the [-auth.config](#auth-config) may contain either a single url or a list of urls. In the latter case `vmauth` balances load among the configured urls in a round-robin manner. This feature is useful for balancing the load among multiple `vmselect` and/or `vminsert` nodes in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html).
