 * SECURITY: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): do not expose `-remoteWrite.url`, `-remoteRead.url` and `-datasource.url` command-line flag values in logs and at `http://vmalert:8880/flags` page by default, since they may contain sensitive data such as auth keys. This aligns `vmalert` behaviour with [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html), which doesn't expose `-remoteWrite.url` command-line flag value in logs and at `http://vmagent:8429/flags` page by default. Specify `-remoteWrite.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL` and `-datasource.showURL` command-line flags for showing values for the corresponding `-*.url` flags in logs. Thanks to @mble for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2965).

This simplifies alerting on targets with the exceeded series limit. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#automatically-generated-metrics) for details on these metrics.
