- Rename GetStatDialFunc to NewStatDialFunc, since it returns new function with every call
- NewStatDialFunc isn't related to http in any way, so it must be moved from lib/httputils to lib/netutil
- Simplify the implementation of NewStatDialFunc by removing sync.Map from there.
- Use netutil.NewStatDialFunc at app/vmauth and lib/promscrape/discoveryutils
- Use gauge instead of counter type for *_conns metric
This is a follow-up for d7b5062917
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6299
'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{}'.
This makes easier to read and debug these tests. This also reduces test lines count by 15% from 3K to 2.5K .
See https://itnext.io/f-tests-as-a-replacement-for-table-driven-tests-in-go-8814a8b19e9e .
While at it, consistently use t.Fatal* instead of t.Error*, since t.Error* usually leads
to more complicated and fragile tests, while it doesn't bring any practical benefits over t.Fatal*.
This reverts commit 5a3abfa041.
Reason for revert: exemplars aren't in wide use because they have numerous issues which prevent their adoption (see below).
Adding support for examplars into VictoriaMetrics introduces non-trivial code changes. These code changes need to be supported forever
once the release of VictoriaMetrics with exemplar support is published. That's why I don't think this is a good feature despite
that the source code of the reverted commit has an excellent quality. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/goals/ .
Issues with Prometheus exemplars:
- Prometheus still has only experimental support for exemplars after more than three years since they were introduced.
It stores exemplars in memory, so they are lost after Prometheus restart. This doesn't look like production-ready feature.
See 0a2f3b3794/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md (L153-L159)
and https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/feature_flags/#exemplars-storage
- It is very non-trivial to expose exemplars alongside metrics in your application, since the official Prometheus SDKs
for metrics' exposition ( https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/ ) either have very hard-to-use API
for exposing histograms or do not have this API at all. For example, try figuring out how to expose exemplars
via https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/client_golang@v1.19.1/prometheus .
- It looks like exemplars are supported for Histogram metric types only -
see https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/client_golang@v1.19.1/prometheus#Timer.ObserveDurationWithExemplar .
Exemplars aren't supported for Counter, Gauge and Summary metric types.
- Grafana has very poor support for Prometheus exemplars. It looks like it supports exemplars only when the query
contains histogram_quantile() function. It queries exemplars via special Prometheus API -
https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#querying-exemplars - (which is still marked as experimental, btw.)
and then displays all the returned exemplars on the graph as special dots. The issue is that this doesn't work
in production in most cases when the histogram_quantile() is calculated over thousands of histogram buckets
exposed by big number of application instances. Every histogram bucket may expose an exemplar on every timestamp shown on the graph.
This makes the graph unusable, since it is litterally filled with thousands of exemplar dots.
Neither Prometheus API nor Grafana doesn't provide the ability to filter out unneeded exemplars.
- Exemplars are usually connected to traces. While traces are good for some
I doubt exemplars will become production-ready in the near future because of the issues outlined above.
Alternative to exemplars:
Exemplars are marketed as a silver bullet for the correlation between metrics, traces and logs -
just click the exemplar dot on some graph in Grafana and instantly see the corresponding trace or log entry!
This doesn't work as expected in production as shown above. Are there better solutions, which work in production?
Yes - just use time-based and label-based correlation between metrics, traces and logs. Assign the same `job`
and `instance` labels to metrics, logs and traces, so you can quickly find the needed trace or log entry
by these labes on the time range with the anomaly on metrics' graph.

(cherry picked from commit 17e3d019d2)
This code adds Exemplars to VMagent and the promscrape parser adhering
to OpenMetrics Specifications. This will allow forwarding of exemplars
to Prometheus and other third party apps that support OpenMetrics specs.

- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA pointed by -remoteWrite.tlsCAFile command-line flag
- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA configured via oauth2.tsl_config.ca_file option at -promscrape.config
- Document the change as a feature instead of a bug at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Simplify the code at lib/promauth, which is responsible for reloading changed TLS root CA files.
- Simplify the usage of lib/promauth.Config.NewRoundTripper() - now it accepts the base http.Transport
instead of a callback, which can change the internal http.Transport.
- Reuse the default tls config if lib/promauth.Config doesn't contain tls-specific configs.
This should reduce memory usage a bit when tls isn't used for scraping big number of targets.
- Do not re-read TLS root CA files on every processed request. Re-read them once per second.
This should reduce CPU usage when scraping big number of targets over https.
- Do not store cert.pem and key.pem files in TestTLSConfigWithCertificatesFilesUpdate, since they can be loaded
from byte slices via crypto/tls.X509KeyPair().
- Remove obsolete comparisons of string representations for authConfig and proxyAuthConfig at areEqualScrapeConfigs().

* lib/{promauth,promscrape}: automatically refresh root CA certificates after changes on disk
Added a custom `http.RoundTripper` implementation which checks for root CA content changes and updates `tls.Config` used by `http.RoundTripper` after detecting CA change.
Client certificate changes are not tracked by this implementation since `tls.Config` already supports passing certificate dynamically by overriding `tls.Config.GetClientCertificate`.
This change implements dynamic reload of root CA only for streaming client used for scraping. Blocking client (`fasthttp.HostClient`) does not support using custom transport so can't use this implementation.

* lib/promscrape: respect `0` value for `series_limit` param
Respect `0` value for `series_limit` param in `scrape_config`
even if global limit was set via `-promscrape.seriesLimitPerTarget`.
Previously, `0` value will be ignored in favor of `-promscrape.seriesLimitPerTarget`.
This behavior aligns with possibility to override `series_limit` value via
relabeling with `__series_limit__` label.

* wip
* lib/promscrape/kubernetes: prevent from stopping groupWatcher when there are in-flight apiWatcher.mustStart() calls
groupWatcher is stopped if it has zero registered apiWatchers during 14 seconds.
But such a groupWatcher can be still in use if apiWatcher for `role: endpoints` or `role: endpointslice`
is being registered and the discovery of the associated `pod` and/or `service` objects takes longer
than 14 seconds - see the beginning of groupWatcher.startWatchersForRole() function for details.
Track the number of in-flight calls to apiWatcher.mustStart() and prevent from stopping the associated groupWatcher
if the number of in-flight calls is non-zero.
P.S. postponing the discovery of `pod` and/or `service` objects associated with `endpoints` or `endpointslice` roles
isn't the best solution, since it slows down initial discovery of `endpoints` and `endpointslice` targets.
