 ## tip
+* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/): `-rule` cmd-line flag now supports multi-document YAML files. This could be useful when rules are retrieved via HTTP URL where multiple rule files were merged together in one response. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6753). Thanks to @Irene-123 for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6995).
 
 * BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert): properly set `group_name` and `file` fields for recording rules in `/api/v1/rules`.
