- Make the configuration more clear by accepting the list of ignored labels during sharding
via a dedicated command-line flag - -remoteWrite.shardByURL.ignoreLabels.
This prevents from overloading the meaning of -remoteWrite.shardByURL.labels command-line flag.
- Removed superfluous memory allocation per each processed sample if sharding by remote storage is enabled.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5938
The remotewrite.Stop() expects that there are no pending calls to TryPush().
This means that the ingestionRateLimiter.Register() must be unblocked inside TryPush() when calling remotewrite.Stop().
Provide remotewrite.StopIngestionRateLimiter() function for unblocking the rate limiter before calling the remotewrite.Stop().
While at it, move the rate limiter into lib/ratelimiter package, since it has two users.
Also move the description of the feature to the correct place at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
Also cross-reference -remoteWrite.rateLimit and -maxIngestionRate command-line flags.
This is a follow-up for 02bccd1eb9
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5900
To horizontally scale streaming aggregation, you might want to deploy a separate hashing tier
of vmagents that route to a separate aggregation tier. The hashing tier should shard by all labels
except the instance-level labels, to ensure the input metrics are routed correctly to the aggregator
instance responsible for those labels.
For this to achieve we introduce `remoteWrite.shardByURL.inverseLabels` flag to inverse logic of `remoteWrite.shardByURL.labels`

* [vmagent] added ingestion rate limiting with new flag `-maxIngestionRate`. This flag can be used to limit the number of samples ingested by vmagent per second. If the limit is exceeded, the ingestion rate will be throttled.
* fix changelog
* fix review comment
For example, if `interval: 1m`, then data flush occurs at the end of every minute,
while `interval: 1h` leads to data flush at the end of every hour.
Add `no_align_flush_to_interval` option, which can be used for disabling the alignment.
- Add Try* prefix to functions, which return bool result in order to improve readability and reduce the probability of missing check
for the result returned from these functions.
- Call the adjustSampleValues() only once on input samples. Previously it was called on every attempt to flush data to peristent queue.
- Properly restore the initial state of WriteRequest passed to tryPushWriteRequest() before returning from this function
after unsuccessful push to persistent queue. Previously a part of WriteRequest samples may be lost in such case.
- Add -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload command-line flag, which can be used for dropping incoming samples instead
of returning 429 Too Many Requests error to the client when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set and the remote storage
cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric, which counts the number of dropped samples.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total metric, which counts the number of unsuccessful attempts to push
data to persistent queue when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set.
- Remove vmagent_remotewrite_aggregation_metrics_dropped_total and vm_promscrape_push_samples_dropped_total metrics,
because they are replaced with vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric.
- Update 'Disabling on-disk persistence' docs at docs/vmagent.md
- Update stale comments in the code

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2110
* app/vmagent: allow to disabled on-disk queue
Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a
chain of vmagents. In case when remoteWrite for the last vmagent in the
chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested
metrics.
New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an
error if remoteWrite is not accessible anymore. It blocks any writes and
notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.
Main use case for this feature - use external queue such as kafka for
data persistence.

* adds test, updates readme
* apply review suggestions
* update docs for vmagent
* makes linter happy

- Fix Prometheus-compatible naming after applying the relabeling if -usePromCompatibleNaming command-line flag is set.
This should prevent from possible Prometheus-incompatible metric names and label names generated by the relabeling.
- Do not return anything from relabelCtx.appendExtraLabels() function, since it cannot change the number of time series
passed to it. Append labels for the passed time series in-place.
- Remove promrelabel.FinalizeLabels() call after adding extra labels to time series, since this call has been already
made at relabelCtx.applyRelabeling(). It is user's responsibility if he passes labels with double underscore prefixes
to -remoteWrite.label.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4247
vmagent: properly add extra labels before sending data to remote storage
labels from `remoteWrite.label` are now added to sent metrics just before they
are pushed to `remoteWrite.url` after all relabelings, including stream aggregation relabelings (#4247)

{vmagent/remotewrite,vminsert/common}: fix dropInput and keepInput flags inconsistency
Sync behavior for dropInput and keepInput flags between single-node and vmagent.
Fix vmagent not respecting dropInput flag and reverse logic for keepInput.
Add -remoteWrite.shardByURL command-line flag, which instructs vmagent to spread evenly
outgoing time series data among the configured remote storage systems specified via -remoteWrite.url .
Samples for the same time series go to the same -remoteWrite.url . This allows building horizontally
scalable stream aggregation when samples for counter and histogram series must be aggregated
by the same second-level vmagent instance.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4637
- Use a byte slice instead of a map for tracking indexes for matching series.
This improves performance, since access by slice index is faster than access by map key.
- Re-use the byte slice for tracking indexes for matching series.
This removes unnecessary memory allocations and improves stream aggregation performance a bit.
- Add an ability to return to the previous behvaiour by specifying -remoteWrite.streamAggr.dropInput command-line flag.
In this case all the input samples are dropped when stream aggregation is enabled.
- Backport the new stream aggregation behaviour from vmagent to single-node VictoriaMetrics when -streamAggr.config
option is set.
- Improve docs regarding this change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Document the new behavior at docs/stream-aggregation.md

This eliminates the need in .(*T) casting for results obtained from Load()
Leave atomic.Value for map, since atomic.Pointer[map[...]...] makes double pointer to map,
because map is already a pointer type.
app/vmagent/remotewrite: fix vmagent panic on shutdown
Currently, when vmagent is stopping it first flushes pending series in remote write context and proceeds to stop streaming aggregation. This leads to streaming aggregation being unable to write results into pending timeseries (since it is already nil) and panic.
This can lead to losing some aggregation results being lost almost silently.
The fix is reordering flow to first stop streaming aggregation and flush all pending time series after that.

Use fs.MustReadDir() instead of os.ReadDir() across the code in order to reduce the code verbosity.
The fs.MustReadDir() logs the error with the directory name and the call stack on error
before exit. This information should be enough for debugging the cause of the error.
- Make sure that the last successfully loaded config is used on hot-reload failure
- Properly cleanup resources occupied by already initialized aggregators
when the current aggregator fails to be initialized
- Expose distinct vmagent_streamaggr_config_reload* metrics per each -remoteWrite.streamAggr.config
This should simplify monitoring and debugging failed reloads
- Remove race condition at app/vminsert/common.MustStopStreamAggr when calling sa.MustStop() while sa
could be in use at realoadSaConfig()
- Remove lib/streamaggr.aggregator.hasState global variable, since it may negatively impact scalability
on system with big number of CPU cores at hasState.Store(true) call inside aggregator.Push().
- Remove fine-grained aggregator reload - reload all the aggregators on config change instead.
This simplifies the code a bit. The fine-grained aggregator reload may be returned back
if there will be demand from real users for it.
- Check -relabelConfig and -streamAggr.config files when single-node VictoriaMetrics runs with -dryRun flag
- Return back accidentally removed changelog for v1.87.4 at docs/CHANGELOG.md
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3639
- Compare directory names instead of paths to directory when determining which persistent queues must be deleted
This is less error-prone solution, since paths to the same directory can differ, which could lead
to accidental directory removal for the existing -remoteWrite.url
- Log the `removed %d dangling queues` message when at least a single queue has been removed
- Consistently use filepath.Join() for creating paths to persistent queues.
This is needed for Windows support (see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/70 )
- Clarify the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
