 * FEATURE: deprecate `-bigMergeConcurrency` command-line flag, since improper configuration for this flag frequently led to uncontrolled growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, could lead to queries slowdown and increased CPU usage. The concurrency for [background merges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage) can be controlled via `-smallMergeConcurrency` command-line flag, though it isn't recommended to do in general case.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): support new filtering options `filter` and `node_filter` for [consul service discovery](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#consul_sd_configs). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4183) for details.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): support new [consulagent service discovery](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#consulagent_sd_configs). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3953) for details.
+* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): emit a warning if `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL` command-line flag has too small value. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4195).
 * FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): add support for [different time formats](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#timestamp-formats) for `--vm-native-filter-time-start` and `--vm-native-filter-time-end` command-line flags. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4091).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add `WITH template` playground to `vmui`. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3811).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add a comparison of data from the previous day with data from the current day to the `Cardinality Explorer`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3967).
