 ## v1.79.x long-time support release (LTS)
 
-* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): do not show `-remoteWrite.url`, `-remoteRead.url`, `-datasource.url` if corresponding `-remoteWrite.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL`, `-datasource.showURL` are set. Thanks to @mble for [PR](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2965).
+* SECURITY: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): do not expose `-remoteWrite.url`, `-remoteRead.url` and `-datasource.url` command-line flag values in logs and at `http://vmalert:8880/flags` page by default, since they may contain sensitive data such as auth keys. This aligns `vmalert` behaviour with [vmagent](), which doesn't expose `-remoteWrite.url` command-line flag value in logs and at `http://vmagent:8429/flags` page by default. Specify `-remoteWrite.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL` and `-datasource.showURL` command-line flags for showing values for the corresponding `-*.url` flags in logs. Thanks to @mble for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2965).
 * SECURITY: upgrade base docker image (alpine) from 3.16.1 to 3.16.2. See [alpine 3.16.2 release notes](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.13.12-3.14.8-3.15.6-3.16.2-released.html).
 
 * BUGFIX: prevent from excess CPU usage when the storage enters [read-only mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#readonly-mode).

+**v1.79.x is a line of LTS releases (e.g. long-time support). It contains important up-to-date bugfixes.
+The v1.79.x line will be supported for at least 12 months since [v1.79.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html#v1790) release**

 * BUGFIX: [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html): fix potential panic in [multi-level cluster setup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multi-level-cluster-setup) when top-level `vmselect` is configured with `-replicationFactor` bigger than 1. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2961).
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): properly handle custom `endpoint` value in [ec2_sd_configs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#ec2_sd_config). It was ignored since [v1.77.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html#v1770) because of a bug in the implementation of [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1287).
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add missing `__meta_kubernetes_ingress_class_name` meta-label for `role: ingress` service discovery in Kubernetes. See [this commit from Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/commit/7e65ad3e432bd2837c17e3e63e85dcbcc30f4a8a).

 **Update note 1:** this release introduces backwards-incompatible changes to `vm_partial_results_total` metric by changing its labels to be consistent with `vm_requests_total` metric. If you use alerting rules or Grafana dashboards, which rely on this metric, then they must be updated. The official dashboards for VictoriaMetrics don't use this metric.
 
 **Update note 2:** [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html) adds `/vmalert/` prefix to [web urls](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#web) according to [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2825). This may affect `vmalert` instances with non-empty `-http.pathPrefix` command-line flag. After the update, configuring this flag is no longer needed. Here's [why](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2799#issuecomment-1171392005).
