* BUGFIX: `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): properly process response in [multi-level cluster setup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/#multi-level-cluster-setup). Before, vmselect could return no data in multi-level setup. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7270) for details. The issue was introduced in [v1.104.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/changelog/#v11040).
* BUGFIX: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl/): properly add metrics tags for `opentsdb` migration source. Previously it could have empty values. See [this PR](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/7161).
* BUGFIX: [vmalert-tool](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/): reduce the initial health check interval for datasource. This reduces the time spent on evaluating rules by vmalert-tool. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6970).
+* BUGFIX: [vmalert-tool](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/): allow specifying empty labels list `labels: '{}'` in the same way as promtool does. This improves compatibility between these tools.
