 * 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.

+* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): support `m` unit for `minutes` duration in command-line flag `-streamAggr.dedupInterval`. Previously unit `m` wasn't supported correctly.
 * BUGFIX: [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): properly apply replication factor when storage node groups are used and replication factor is configured via global value such as `-replicationFactor=2`. Previously, global replication factor was ignored for storage node groups. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/#vmstorage-groups-at-vmselect) for more information about storage groups configuration.
