 * SECURITY: update Go builder to v1.19.3. This fixes [CVE-2022 security issue](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56328). See [the changelog](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.19.3+label%3ACherryPickApproved).
 
+* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): change severity level for log messages about failed attempts for sending data to remote storage from `error` to `warn`. The message for about all failed send attempts remains at `error` severity level.
 * BUGFIX: `vmselect`: expose missing metric `vm_cache_size_max_bytes{type="promql/rollupResult"}` . This metric is used for monitoring rollup cache usage with the query `vm_cache_size_bytes{type="promql/rollupResult"} / vm_cache_size_max_bytes{type="promql/rollupResult"}` in the same way as this is done for other cache types.
