 * FEATURE: add `now()` function to MetricsQL. This function returns the current timestamp in seconds. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#now).
 * FEATURE: vmauth: allow using optional `name` field in configs. This field is then used as `username` label value for `vmauth_user_requests_total` metric. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1805).
-* FEATURE: vmagent: export `vm_persistentqueue_read_duration_seconds_total` and `vm_persistentqueue_write_duration_seconds_total` metrics, which can be used for detecting persistent queue saturation with `rate(vm_persistentqueue_write_duration_seconds_total) > 0.9s` alerting rule.
+* FEATURE: vmagent: export `vm_persistentqueue_read_duration_seconds_total` and `vm_persistentqueue_write_duration_seconds_total` metrics, which can be used for detecting persistent queue saturation with `rate(vm_persistentqueue_write_duration_seconds_total) > 0.9` alerting rule.
+* FEATURE: export `vm_filestream_read_duration_seconds_total` and `vm_filestream_write_duration_seconds_total` metrics, which can be used for detecting persistent disk saturation with `rate(vm_filestream_read_duration_seconds_total) > 0.9` alerting rule.
 * FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html), [vmrestore](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmrestore.html): add `-s3ForcePathStyle` command-line flag, which can be used for making backups to [Aliyun OSS](https://www.aliyun.com/product/oss). See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1802).
 * FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): improve data migration from OpenTSDB. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1809). Thanks to @johnseekins .
 * FEATURE: suppress `connection reset by peer` errors when remote client resets TCP connection to VictoriaMetrics / vmagent while ingesting the data via InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite protocol or OpenTSDB protocol. This error is expected, so there is no need in logging it.
