From 85f60237e25d324819f4fd23a63274660f5bd560 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhu Jiekun Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 19:41:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vmstorage: auto calculate maxUniqueTimeseries based on resources (#6961) ### Describe Your Changes Add support for https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6930 Calculate `-search.maxUniqueTimeseries` by `-search.maxConcurrentRequests` and remaining memory if it's **not set** or **less equal than 0**. The remaining memory is affected by `-memory.allowedPercent`, `-memory.allowedBytes` and cgroup memory limit. ### Checklist The following checks are **mandatory**: - [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing guidelines](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/). --------- Signed-off-by: hagen1778 Co-authored-by: Roman Khavronenko --- app/vmselect/prometheus/prometheus.go | 3 +- app/vmstorage/main.go | 4 +++ app/vmstorage/servers/vmselect.go | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- app/vmstorage/servers/vmselect_test.go | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++ docs/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.md | 14 +++++---- docs/README.md | 3 +- docs/changelog/CHANGELOG.md | 4 +++ lib/storage/index_db.go | 2 +- 8 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 app/vmstorage/servers/vmselect_test.go diff --git a/app/vmselect/prometheus/prometheus.go b/app/vmselect/prometheus/prometheus.go index 26f18991e..a72bd1243 100644 --- a/app/vmselect/prometheus/prometheus.go +++ b/app/vmselect/prometheus/prometheus.go @@ -53,7 +53,8 @@ var ( "points with timestamps closer than -search.latencyOffset to the current time.

This could help to reduce the amount of opened connections to the Kubernetes API server. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5971) for the details. * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/): `-rule` cmd-line flag now supports multi-document YAML files.

With this change, the data is processed in batches (see `-influx.maxRequestSize`) and user will get parsing errors immediately as they happen. This also improves users' experience and resiliency against thundering herd problems caused by clients without backoff policies like telegraf. To enable stream mode back, pass HTTP header `Stream-Mode: "1"` with each request. For data sent via TCP and UDP (see `-influxListenAddr`) protocols streaming processing remains enabled. * FEATURE: [vmgateway](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmgateway/): allow parsing `scope` claim parsing in array format. This is useful for cases when identity provider does encode claims in array format. * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add the ability to cancel running queries.

The more memory is available to the process and the lower is `-search.maxConcurrentRequests`, the higher will be `-search.maxUniqueTimeseries` limit.
