## Stream parsing mode ## Stream parsing mode
By default `vmagent` reads the full response body from scrape target into memory, then parses it, applies [relabeling](#relabeling) and then pushes the resulting metrics to the configured `-remoteWrite.url`. This mode works good for the majority of cases when the scrape target exposes small number of metrics (e.g. less than 10 thousand). But this mode may take big amounts of memory when the scrape target exposes big number of metrics. In this case it is recommended enabling stream parsing mode. When this mode is enabled, then `vmagent` reads response from scrape target in chunks, then immediately processes every chunk and pushes the processed metrics to remote storage.

There is no need to tune VictoriaMetrics because it uses reasonable defaults for command-line flags. These flags are automatically adjusted for the available CPU and RAM resources. There is no need in Operating System tuning because VictoriaMetrics is optimized for default OS settings. The only option is to increase the limit on the [number of open files in the OS](https://medium.com/@muhammadtriwibowo/set-permanently-ulimit-n-open-files-in-ubuntu-4d61064429a), so VictoriaMetrics could accept more incoming connections and could keep open more data files.

are heavily related to the TSID cache, which is mostly utilized during the ingestion. The fix implies the cache
internal structure change which would cause the cache reset on startup. After the update, users need to expect higher
CPU and memory usage during the ingestion while the cache is being populated. Normally, we expect this process to take
less than hour.
We recommend updating in "off-peak" time when load on the VictoriaMetrics is on its minimum. We also recommend
skipping [v1.73.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.73.0) in favour of
[v1.73.1](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.73.1) which contains the fix for reducing
the memory usage after the update.

## Multi-level cluster setup ## Multi-level cluster setup
`vminsert` nodes can accept data from another `vminsert` nodes starting from [v1.60.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html#v1600) if `-clusternativeListenAddr` command-line flag is set. For example, if `vminsert` is started with `-clusternativeListenAddr=:8400` command-line flag, then it can accept data from another `vminsert` nodes at TCP port 8400 in the same way as `vmstorage` nodes do. This allows chaining `vminsert` nodes and building multi-level cluster topologies with flexible configs. For example, the top level of `vminsert` nodes can replicate data among the second level of `vminsert` nodes located in distinct availability zones (AZ), while the second-level `vminsert` nodes can spread the data among `vmstorage` nodes located in the same AZ. Such setup guarantees cluster availability if some AZ becomes unavailable. The data from all the `vmstorage` nodes in all the AZs can be read via `vmselect` nodes, which are configured to query all the `vmstorage` nodes in all the availability zones (e.g. all the `vmstorage` addresses are passed via `-storageNode` command-line flag to `vmselect` nodes). Additionally, `-replicationFactor=k+1` must be passed to `vmselect` nodes, where `k` is the lowest number of `vmstorage` nodes in a single AZ. See [replication docs](#replication-and-data-safety) for more details. `vminsert` nodes can accept data from another `vminsert` nodes starting from [v1.60.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html#v1600) if `-clusternativeListenAddr` command-line flag is set.

High cardinality usually means a high number of [active time series](#what-is-an-active-time-series). High cardinality may lead to high memory usage and/or to a high percentage of [slow inserts](#what-is-a-slow-insert). The source of high cardinality is usually a label with a large number of unique values, which presents a big share of the ingested time series.

## What is a slow insert? ## What is a slow insert?
VictoriaMetrics maintains in-memory cache for mapping of [active time series](#what-is-an-active-time-series) into internal series ids. The cache size depends on the available memory for VictoriaMetrics in the host system. If the information about all the active time series doesn't fit the cache, then VictoriaMetrics needs to read and unpack the information from disk on every incoming sample for time series missing in the cache. This operation is much slower than the cache lookup, so such an insert is named a `slow insert`. A high percentage of slow inserts on the [official dashboard for VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#monitoring) indicates a memory shortage for the current number of [active time series](#what-is-an-active-time-series). Such a condition usually leads to a significant slowdown for data ingestion and to significantly increased disk IO and CPU usage. The solution is to add more memory or to reduce the number of [active time series](#what-is-an-active-time-series). The `/api/v1/status/tsdb` page can be helpful for locating the source of high number of active time seriess – see [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#tsdb-stats).

# vmanomaly
**_vmanomaly is a part of [enterprise package](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/).
Please [contact us](https://victoriametrics.com/contact-us/) to find out more._**
## About
**VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection** is a service that continuously scans Victoria Metrics time
series and detects unexpected changes within data patterns in real-time. It does so by utilizing
user-configurable machine learning models.
It periodically queries user-specified metrics, computes an “anomaly score” for them, based on how
well they fit a predicted distribution, taking into account periodical data patterns with trends,
and pushes back the computed “anomaly score” to Victoria Metrics. Then, users can enable alerting
rules based on the “anomaly score”.
Compared to classical alerting rules, anomaly detection is more “hands-off” i.e. it allows users to
avoid setting up manual alerting rules set up and catching anomalies that were not expected to happen.
In other words, by setting up alerting rules, a user must know what to look for, ahead of time,
while anomaly detection looks for any deviations from past behavior.
In addition to that, setting up alerting rules manually has been proven to be tedious and
error-prone, while anomaly detection can be easier to set up, and use the same model for different
metrics.
## How?
Victoria Metrics Anomaly Detection service (**vmanomaly**) allows you to apply several built-in
anomaly detection algorithms. You can also plug in your own detection models, code doesn’t make any
distinction between built-in models or external ones.
All the service parameters (model, schedule, input-output) are defined in a config file.
Single config file supports only one model, but it’s totally OK to run multiple **vmanomaly**
processes in parallel, each using its own config.
## Models
Currently, vmanomaly ships with a few common models:
1. **ZScore**
_(useful for testing)_
Simplistic model, that detects outliers as all the points that lie farther than a certain amount
from time-series mean (straight line). Keeps only two model parameters internally:
`mean` and `std` (standard deviation).
2. **Prophet**
_(simplest in configuration, recommended for getting starting)_
Uses Facebook Prophet for forecasting. The _anomaly score_ is computed of how close the actual time
series values follow the forecasted values (_yhat_), and whether it’s within forecasted bounds
(_yhat_lower_, _yhat_upper_). The _anomaly score_ reaches 1.0 if the actual data values
are equal to
_yhat_lower_ or _yhat_upper_. The _anomaly score_ is above 1.0 if the actual data values are
outside
the _yhat_lower_/_yhat_upper_ bounds.
See [Prophet documentation](https://facebook.github.io/prophet/)
3. **Holt-Winters**
Very popular forecasting algorithm. See [statsmodels.org documentation](
https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/generated/statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters.ExponentialSmoothing.html)
for Holt-Winters exponential smoothing.
4. **Seasonal-Trend Decomposition**
Extracts three components: season, trend, and residual, that can be plotted individually for
easier debugging. Uses LOESS (locally estimated scatterplot smoothing).
See [statsmodels.org documentation](https://www.statsmodels.org/dev/examples/notebooks/generated/stl_decomposition.html)
for LOESS STD.
5. **ARIMA**
Commonly used forecasting model. See [statsmodels.org documentation](https://www.statsmodels.
org/stable/generated/statsmodels.tsa.arima.model.ARIMA.html) for ARIMA.
6. **Rolling Quantile**
A simple moving window of quantiles. Easy to use, easy to understand, but not as powerful as
other models.
### Examples
For example, here’s how Prophet predictions could look like on a real-data example
(Prophet auto-detected seasonality interval):
![prophet](vmanomaly-prophet-example.png)
And here’s what Holt-Winters predictions real-world data could look like (seasonality manually
set to 1 week). Notice that it predicts anomalies in
different places than Prophet because the model noticed there are usually spikes on Friday
morning, so it accounted for that:
![holt-winters](vmanomaly-holtwinters-example.png)
## Process
Upon starting, vmanomaly queries the initial range of data, and trains its model (“fit” by convention).
Then, reads new data from VictoriaMetrics, according to schedule, and invokes its model to compute
“anomaly score” for each data point. The anomaly score ranges from 0 to positive infinity.
Values less than 1.0 are considered “not an anomaly”, values greater or equal than 1.0 are
considered “anomalous”, with greater values corresponding to larger anomaly.
Then, VMAnomaly pushes the metric to vminsert (under the user-configured metric name,
optionally preserving labels).
## Usage
The vmanomapy accepts only one parameter -- config file path:
```sh
python3 vmanomaly.py config_zscore.yaml
```
or
```sh
python3 -m vmanomaly config_zscore.yaml
```
It is also possible to split up config into multiple files, just list them all in the command line:
```sh
python3 -m vmanomaly model_prophet.yaml io_csv.yaml scheduler_oneoff.yaml
```
