**Update note 1:** [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html) changes default value for command-line flag `datasource.queryStep` from `0s` to `5m`. The change supposed to improve reliability of the rules evaluation when evaluation interval is lower than scraping interval.

* FEATURE: expose `vmagent_remotewrite_queues` metric and use it in alerting rules in order to improve the detection of remote storage connection saturation. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2871).

Param `step` is added by vmalert to every rule evaluation request sent to datasource. Before this change, `step` was equal to group's evaluation interval by default.
