## Deduplication
VictoriaMetrics leaves a single raw sample with the biggest timestamp per each `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` discrete interval if `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` is set to positive duration. For example, `-dedup.minScrapeInterval=60s` would leave a single raw sample with the biggest timestamp per each discrete 60s interval. If multiple raw samples have the same biggest timestamp on the given `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` discrete interval, then an arbitrary sample out of these samples is left. This aligns with the [staleness rules in Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/#staleness).

If multiple raw samples have the same biggest timestamp on the given `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` discrete interval, then the sample with the biggest value is left.
The `-dedup.minScrapeInterval=D` is equivalent to `-downsampling.period=0s:D` if [downsampling](#downsampling) is enabled. So it is safe to use deduplication and downsampling simultaneously.

**Update note 2:** this release splits `type="indexdb"` metrics into `type="indexdb/inmemory"` and `type="indexdb/file"` metrics. This may break old dashboards and alerting rules, which contain [label filter](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#filtering) on `{type="indexdb"}`. Such label filter must be substituted with `{type=~"indexdb.*"}`, so it matches `indexdb` from the previous releases and `indexdb/inmemory` + `indexdb/file` from new releases. It is recommended upgrading to the latest available dashboards and alerting rules mentioned in [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#monitoring), since they already contain fixed label filters.
* FEATURE: leave a sample with the biggest value for identical timestamps per each `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` discrete interval when the [deduplication](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#deduplication) is enabled. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3333).
* FEATURE: add `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval` command-line flag, which can be used for controlling the frequency of in-memory data flush to disk. The data flush frequency can be reduced when VictoriaMetrics stores data to low-end flash device with limited number of write cycles (for example, on Raspberry PI). See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3337).
* FEATURE: expose additional metrics for `indexdb` and `storage` parts stored in memory and for `indexdb` parts stored in files (see [storage docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage) for technical details):
* `vm_active_merges{type="storage/inmemory"}` - active merges for in-memory `storage` parts

* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add `-remoteWrite.sendTimeout` command-line flag, which allows configuring timeout for sending data to `-remoteWrite.url`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3408).
* FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): add ability to migrate data between VictoriaMetrics clusters with automatic tenants discovery. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html#cluster-to-cluster-migration-mode) and [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2930).
* FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): add ability to copy data from sources via Prometheus `remote_read` protocol. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html#migrating-data-by-remote-read-protocol). The related issues: [one](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3132) and [two](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1101).

* FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): provide fast path for hiding results for all the queries except the given one by clicking `eye` icon with `ctrl` key pressed. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3446).
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add `range_trim_spikes(phi, q)` function for trimming `phi` percent of the largest spikes per each time series returned by `q`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#range_trim_spikes).
