* vmalert: Add recording rules support.
Recording rules support required additional service refactoring since
it wasn't planned to support them from the very beginning. The list
of changes is following:
* new entity RecordingRule was added for writing results of MetricsQL
expressions into remote storage;
* interface Rule now unites both recording and alerting rules;
* configuration parser was moved to separate package and now performs
more strict validation;
* new endpoint for listing all groups and rules in json format was added;
* evaluation interval may be set to every particular group;
* vmalert: uncomment tests
* vmalert: rm outdated TODO
* vmalert: fix typos in README
v1.36.0 always returns empty responses for Graphite wildcards like the following
{__name__=~"foo\\.[^.]*\\.bar\\.baz"}
Temporary workaround for v1.36.0 is to add `[^.]*` to the end of the regexp.
Add index for reverse Graphite-like metric names with dots. Use this index during search for filters
like `__name__=~"foo\\.[^.]*\\.bar\\.baz"` which end with non-empty suffix with dots, i.e. `.bar.baz` in this case.
This change may "hide" historical time series during queries. The workaround is to add `[.]*` to the end of regexp label filter,
i.e. "foo\\.[^.]*\\.bar\\.baz" should be substituted with "foo\\.[^.]*\\.bar\\.baz[.]*".
* docs/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md: add link to Wiki page so it may get more attention
* docs/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md: mention case for changing `-retentionPeriod` setting
* Slow metrics load panel was removed since it is hard to interpret without
additional metrics and stats;
* Slow inserts panel was updated to display percentage of slow inserts comparing
to total number of inserts to show the real impact.
The new update introduces new row "Troubleshooting" that
contains panels for churn rate and slow-queries/inserts/loads metrics. This row supposed to be reveal the cause of low performance or other issues.
Panels for storage were updated with "bytes-per-datapoint" and "remaining disk size" panels.
Before the change we were sending notifications to notifier
if following conditions are met:
* alert is in Fire state
* alert is in Inactive state
We were sending Inactive notifications to resolve alert ASAP.
Unfortunately, we were sending resolves for Pending alerts that become
Inactive, which is wrong.
In this change we delete alert from the active list if
it was Pending and become Inactive. In this way we now
have Inactive alerts only if they were in state Fire before.
See test change for example.
