Do not store in memory the response from the last scrape per each target if -promscrape.noStaleMarkers option is enabled.
This should reduce memory usage when the scraped targets return large responses.
Previously, ID for alert entity was generated without alertname or groupname.
This led to collision, when multiple alerting rules within the same group
producing same labelsets. E.g. expr: `sum(metric1) by (job) > 0` and
expr: `sum(metric2) by (job) > 0` could result into same labelset `job: "job"`.
The issue affects only UI and Web API parts of vmalert, because alert ID is used
only for displaying and finding active alerts. It does not affect state restore
procedure, since this label was added right before pushing to remote storage.
The change now adds all extra labels right after receiving response from the datasource.
And removes adding extra labels before pushing to remote storage.
Additionally, change introduces a new flag `Restored` which will be displayed in UI
for alerts which have been restored from remote storage on restart.

vmctl: properly convert influx bools into integer representation
When using vmctl influx, the import would fail importing boolean fields
with:
```
failed to convert value "some".0 to float64: unexpected value type true
```
This converts `true` to `1` and `false` to `0`.
Fixes#1709
Sort series by a hash calculated from the series labels. This should guarantee "random" selection of the returned time series.
Previously the selection could be biased, since time series were sorted alphabetically by label names and label values.
This allows sending staleness marks and properly calculate scrape_series_added metric in stream parsing mode
at the cost of the increased memory usage, since now the potentially big response is kept
in the lastScrape byte slice per each scrapeWork.
In practice the memory usage increase shouldn't be big, since the response size
is usually much smaller than the parsed metrics from this response after the relabeling,
which usually adds a big pile of target-specific labels per each metric.
* vmalert: adjust `http.Transport.MaxIdleConns` value accordingly to `http.Transport.MaxIdleConnsPerHost`

The list of functions, which can adjust lookbehind window is more limited than the rest of functions,
so it is better from maintainability and readability PoV using the allowlist instead of blocklist.
It is expected that the `deriv(m[d])` returns non-empty value if the lookbehind window `d`
contains less than 2 samples in the same way as `rate()` does.
This is a follow-up after 3e084be06b .
Previously, `predict_linear` returned slightly different results comparing
to Prometheus. The change makes linear regression algorithm compatible
with Prometheus.
`deriv` was excluded from the list of functions which can adjust the time
window for the same reasons.
The fix makes the binary comparison func to check for NaNs
before executing the actual comparison. This prevents VM
to return values for non-existing samples for expressions
which contain bool comparisons. Please see added test
for example.
It appeared, that `testRowsEqual` NaN comparison was incorrect.
The fix caused some tests to fail. Please see the change and

The commit contains the following changes:
- Show vmui when requesting /graph page in order to be compatible with Prometheus datasource in Grafana.
- Properly encode query args at vmui url.
- Set the number of points on the graph to the number of horizontal pixels divided by 2. Previously it was hardcoded to 30.
- Do not save server url to persistent storage at browser, since it should be always obtained from the url.
- Run `make vmui-update` for updating vmui embedded into VictoriaMetrics.

* fix: change get default server for single version
* fix: change function for get query string value
* vmalert: add flag to limit the max value for auto-resovle duration for alerts

These actions simlify metrics filtering. For example,
- action: keep_metrics
regex: 'foo|bar|baz'
would leave only metrics with `foo`, `bar` and `baz` names, while the rest of metrics will be deleted.
The commit also makes possible to split long regexps into multiple lines. For example, the following config is equivalent to the config above:
- action: keep_metrics
regex:
- foo
- bar
- baz
New UI pages:
/ - welcome page with API handlers list;
/groups - list of all rules per group;
/alerts - list of all active alerts;
/groupID/alertID/status - status of the active alert;
The number of series per target can be limited with the following options:
* Global limit with `-promscrape.maxSeriesPerTarget` command-line option.
* Per-target limit with `max_series: N` option in `scrape_config` section.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1561
The purpose of update is to make README and flags description more
clear to the reader. Especially, show that vm-account-id flag is required
for clustered version of VM.
* vmalert: allow extra GET params in datasource package
ExtraParams will be added as GET params to every HTTP request made by datasource.
The `roundDigits` param, for example, was substituted by corresponding extra param.
* vmalert: add nocache=1 param for replay process
The `nocache=1` param is VictoriaMetrics specific parameter which prevents it
from caching and boundaries aligning for queries. We set it to avoid cache
pollution in `replay` mode and also to avoid unnecessary time range boundaries
alignment.
* vmalert: mention nocache=1 in replay description
* vmalert: fix bug with unused param
* vmalert: remove `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric
The summary for `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric gives no additional
value comparing to `vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds` metric.
* vmalert: update config reload success metric properly
Previously, if there was unsuccessfull attempt to reload config and then
rollback to previous version - the metric remained set to 0.
* vmalert: add Grafana dashboard to overview application metrics
* docker: include vmalert target into list for scraping
* vmalert: extend notifier metrics with addr label
The change adds an `addr` label to metrics for alerts_sent and alerts_send_errors
to identify which exact address is having issues.
The according change was made to vmalert dashboard.
* vmalert: update documentation and docker environment for vmalert's dashboard
Mention Grafana's dashboard in vmalert's README in a new section #Monitoring.
Update docker-compose env to automatically add vmalert's dashboard.
Update docker-compose README with additional info about services.
Before, metric `vm_request_duration_seconds` was update only on successful
attempts which could be misleading. For example, timeout errors on netstorage
request may be not accounted in the metric and won't be visible on dashboards.
Using `defer` statement to update the metric after query arguments validation
may improve the situation.
This option allows reducing CPU usage a bit when VictoriaMetrics is used
for collecting and processing non-Prometheus data. For example, InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB, CSV, etc.
This option can be useful when vmagent consumes too much additional memory
for staleness markers functionality and when staleness markers aren't needed.
* vmalert: allow to disable automatically added path to remote write address via disablePathAppend flag
* docs: update docs to include remoteWrite.disablePathAppend
This metric can be used for determining high saturation of every connection to remote storage with
an alerting query `rate(vmagent_remotewrite_send_duration_seconds_total) > 0.9s`.
This query triggers when a connection is satureated by more than 90%
This reverts commit 94dfcb6747a3b29a11d14e71bea21a2312bb6346.
It is better to remove staleness marks (decimal.StaleNaN) before calling rollupConfig.Do, e.g. in preFunc
Prometheus stalenss marks shouldn't be changed in removeCounterResets. Otherwise they will be converted to an ordinary NaN values,
which couldn't be removed in dropStaleNaNs() function later. This may result in incorrect calculations for rollup functions.

* vmalert: expose new metrics for tracking number of produced samples during last evaluation
Two new metrics were added to track the number of samples produced during the last evaluation:
* vmalert_recording_rules_last_evaluation_samples
* vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_samples
The gauge type is used to remain consistent with Prometheus metric
`prometheus_rule_group_last_evaluation_samples` which is on the group level.
However, the counter type was considered as well.
Two metrics instead of one are used to make it easier to separate recording and
alerting rules. It is likely, number of samples produced by recording rules is
more important so people will refer to it more frequently.
The expected usage of the new metric is the following:
```
- alert: RecordingRuleReturnsEmptyResults
expr: sum(vmalert_recording_rules_last_evaluation_samples) by(recording) < 1
annotations:
summary: Recording rule {{$labels.recording}} returns empty results.
Please verify expression correctness.

This should improve the readability and usefullness of the /api/v1/status/top_queries when debugging slow queries
or queries that take too much cpu time.
- Support durations anywhere in MetricsQL queries. E.g. sum_over_time(m[1h])/1h is equivalent to sum_over_time(m[1h])/3600
- Support durations without suffix. E.g. rate(m[300]) is equivalent to rate(m[5m])
This should reduce resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk IO) at vmstorage nodes
if the addresses of vmstorage nodes are passed in random order to vminsert nodes.
* Change default value of '-remoteWrite.queues' to cgroup.AvailableCPUS() * 2 to reduce scrape interval
Default value of vmagent option '-remotewrite.queues' is 4 and default
size of vmagent ScheudleUnmarshalWorkers is number of CPUs, when available
CPUs is much greater than 4, e.g 32, worker are competing push queues
which will increase scrape interval and may cause scrape timeout.

Due to staleness handling, increase_pure were using incorrect previous value
during calculation in cases where series disappears for period longer
than staleness period and then returns back. The fix suppose to account
for a real datapoint value before staleness takes place. The fix should
remove unexpected spikes while using `increase_pure` for staled series.
This panic can be raised by the reverseProxy on aborted request to the backend.
So handle it (e.g. suppress) at reverseProxy.ServeHTTP call.
Do not suppress the panic at lib/httpserver generic HTTP handler,
since it may result in an inconsistent state left after the panicking handler.

These numbers are exposed via the following metrics:

- vmagent_daily_series_limit_current_series
Expose also the limits via the following metrics:
- vmagent_hourly_series_limit_max_series
- vmagent_daily_series_limit_max_series
The `::tag` type is needed in cases when field and tag names are equal, which
results into unexpected results in InfluxQL. Setting the type explicitly helps
InfluxDB to understand which exact column we apply filter to.

duplicates map helps to determine wheter extra labels has overriden
labels which make time series unique. It was using a sorted hashed
labels sequence as a key. But hashing algorithm could have collisions,
so it is more convenient to not use hashing at all.
Log message for recording rules duplicates was improved as well.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1293
Starting from v1.56.0 VM supports `round_digits` which allows to limit
the number of digits after the decimal point in response value. The feature
can be used to reduce entropy of produced by recording rules values
and significantly improve the compression. See more details in link below.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/525
Previously, `startGroup` could exit on restore errors despite the
`remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors` flag value. Now vmalert checks the
flag value before deciding whether to return error or just log it.
Alerting rules now can return specific error type ErrStateRestore to indicate
whether restore state procedure failed. Such errors were returned and logged
before as well. But now user can specify whether to just log these errors
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=true) or to stop the process
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=false). The latter is important when VM isn't
ready yet to serve queries from vmalert and it needs to wait.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1252
* Simplify arguments list for fn `queryDataSource` to improve readbility
* vmalert: adjust `time` param according to rule evaluation interval
With this change, vmalert will start to use rule's evaluation interval
for truncating the `time` param. This is mostly needed to produce consistent
time series with timestamps unaffected by vmalert start time. Now, timestamp
becomes predictable.
Additionally, adjustment is similar to what Grafana does for plotting range graphs.
Hence, recording rule series and recording rule expression plotted in grafana
suppose to become similar in most of cases.
* changes vmalert Querier with per rule querier
it allows to changes some parametrs based on rule setting
for instance - alert type, tenant for cluster version or event endpoint url.
Previously, vmalert used `lastExecTime` timestamp when writing recording rules
to the remote storage. This may be incorrect, if vmalert uses `datasource.lookback` flag,
which means rule's expression will be executed at some moment in the past.
To avoid such situations, vmalert now will use returned timestamp instead of `lastExecTime`.
This should increase block sizes and subsequently increase the maximum possible bandwidth per each connection to remote storage.
This, in turn, should reduce the probability of storing the data in local buffers.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1235
* docs: drop table of contents for `vmctl`

* more clarification of OpenTSDB aggregations
* break out what a retention string becomes
* add more docs around retention strings
* add example of running program and fix mistake in how hard offsets are handled
* fix formatting
The major change is adding `sort` directive to docs. For those docs which are copied
from internal packages `sort` is added via makefile command. For the rest it is added
manually since they're updated manually as well.
The rest of changes is connected with markdown formatting. For example, changing headers
in some files (`##` => `#`) makes navigation on .github.io to look better. This especially
useful for `changelog` docs.
Table of contents for `vmctl` is dropped, since we already have it autogenerated on .github.io.
No link changes expected. The corresponding PR to `cluster` branch will be made in follow-up PR.
This option can be useful when samples for the same time series are ingested with distinct order of labels.
For example, metric{k1="v1",k2="v2"} and metric{k2="v2",k1="v1"}.
