'any' type is supported starting from Go1.18. Let's consistently use it
instead of 'interface{}' type across the code base, since `any` is easier to read than 'interface{}'.
- Use promutils.Labels.GetLabels() instead of comparing promutils.Labels.Labels to nil.
This make the code more consistent with other places.
- Mention the release where the issue has been introduced at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3624
- Return meta-labels for the discovered targets via promutils.Labels
instead of map[string]string. This improves the speed of generating
meta-labels for discovered targets by up to 5x.
- Remove memory allocations in hot paths during ScrapeWork generation.
The ScrapeWork contains scrape settings for a single discovered target.
This improves the service discovery speed by up to 2x.
Cache sanitized label names and return them next time.
This reduces the number of allocations and speeds up the SanitizeLabelName()
function for common case when the number of unique label names is smaller than 100k
ioutil.ReadAll is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is OK to switch from ioutil.ReadAll to io.ReadAll.
This is a follow-up for 02ca2342ab
Previously ScrapeConfig.clone() was improperly copying promauth.Secret fields -
their contents was replaced with `<secret>` value.
This led to inability to use passwords and secrets in `-promscrape.config` file.
The bug has been introduced in v1.77.0 in the commit 67b10896d2
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2551
* Add omitempty for DisableCompression and DisableKeepAlive fields in ScrapeConfig
* Add omitempty annotation to all the default/optional values
* Fix annotations after review
