@@ -47,6 +47,7 @@ The following `tip` changes can be tested by building VictoriaMetrics components
 * FEATUTE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): allow disabling of `step` param attached to [instant queries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#instant-query). This might be useful for using vmalert with datasources that to not support this param, unlike VictoriaMetrics. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4573) for details.
 * FEATUTE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): support option for "blackholing" alerting notifications if `-notifier.blackhole` cmd-line flag is set. Enable this flag if you want vmalert to evaluate alerting rules without sending any notifications to external receivers (eg. alertmanager). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4122) for details. Thanks to @venkatbvc for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4639).
 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add unit test for alerting and recording rules, see more [details](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#unit-testing-for-rules) here. Thanks to @Haleygo for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4596).
+* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): allow overriding default GET params for rules  with `graphite` datasource type, in the same way as it happens for `prometheus` type. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4685). 
 * FEATURE: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): expose `vmauth_user_request_duration_seconds` and `vmauth_unauthorized_user_request_duration_seconds` summary metrics for measuring requests latency per user.
 * FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html): show backup progress percentage in log during backup uploading. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4460).
 * FEATURE: [vmrestore](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmrestore.html): show restoring progress percentage in log during backup downloading. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4460).
