- Move the remaining code responsible for stream aggregation initialization from remotewrite.go to streamaggr.go .
This improves code maintainability a bit.
- Properly shut down streamaggr.Aggregators initialized inside remotewrite.CheckStreamAggrConfigs().
This prevents from potential resource leaks.
- Use separate functions for initializing and reloading of global stream aggregation and per-remoteWrite.url stream aggregation.
This makes the code easier to read and maintain. This also fixes INFO and ERROR logs emitted by these functions.
- Add an ability to specify `name` option in every stream aggregation config. This option is used as `name` label
in metrics exposed by stream aggregation at /metrics page. This simplifies investigation of the exposed metrics.
- Add `path` label additionally to `name`, `url` and `position` labels at metrics exposed by streaming aggregation.
This label should simplify investigation of the exposed metrics.
- Remove `match` and `group` labels from metrics exposed by streaming aggregation, since they have little practical applicability:
it is hard to use these labels in query filters and aggregation functions.
- Rename the metric `vm_streamaggr_flushed_samples_total` to less misleading `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` .
This metric shows the number of samples generated by the corresponding streaming aggregation rule.
This metric has been added in the commit 861852f262 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6462
- Remove the metric `vm_streamaggr_stale_samples_total`, since it is unclear how it can be used in practice.
This metric has been added in the commit 861852f262 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6462
- Remove Alias and aggrID fields from streamaggr.Options struct, since these fields aren't related to optional params,
which could modify the behaviour of the constructed streaming aggregator.
Convert the Alias field to regular argument passed to LoadFromFile() function, since this argument is mandatory.
- Pass Options arg to LoadFromFile() function by reference, since this structure is quite big.
This also allows passing nil instead of Options when default options are enough.
- Add `name`, `path`, `url` and `position` labels to `vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_size_bytes` and `vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_items_count` metrics,
so they have consistent set of labels comparing to the rest of streaming aggregation metrics.
- Convert aggregator.aggrStates field type from `map[string]aggrState` to `[]aggrOutput`, where `aggrOutput` contains the corresponding
`aggrState` plus all the related metrics (currently only `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` metric is exposed with the corresponding
`output` label per each configured output function). This simplifies and speeds up the code responsible for updating per-output
metrics. This is a follow-up for the commit 2eb1bc4f81 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6604
- Added missing urls to docs ( https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/ ) in error messages. These urls help users
figuring out why VictoriaMetrics or vmagent generates the corresponding error messages. The urls were removed for unknown reason
in the commit 2eb1bc4f81 .
- Fix incorrect update for `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` metric in flushCtx.appendSeriesWithExtraLabel() function.
While at it, reduce memory usage by limiting the maximum number of samples per flush to 10K.

- Drop samples and return true from remotewrite.TryPush() at fast path when all the remote storage
systems are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, every in-memory queue is full
and -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload is set to true. This case is quite common,
so it should be optimized. Previously additional CPU time was spent on per-remoteWriteCtx
relabeling and other processing in this case.
- Properly count the number of dropped samples inside remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped().
Previously dropped samples were counted only if -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag is set.
In reality, the samples are dropped when they couldn't be sent to the queue because in-memory queue is full
and on-disk queue is disabled.
The remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped() function is called by streaming aggregation for pushing
the aggregated data to the remote storage. Streaming aggregation cannot wait until the remote storage
processes pending data, so it drops aggregated samples in this case.
- Clarify the description for -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag at -help output,
so it is clear that this flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.
- Make the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag global. If some of the remote storage systems
are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, then there is no sense in keeping samples
on some of these systems, while dropping samples on the remaining systems, since this
will result in global stall on the remote storage system with the disabled on-disk queue
and with the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload=false flag. vmagent will always return false
from remotewrite.TryPush() in this case. This will result in infinite duplicate samples
written to the remaining remote storage systems. That's why the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload
is forcibly set to true if more than one -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag is set.
This allows proceeding with newly scraped / pushed samples by sending them to the remaining
remote storage systems, while dropping them on overloaded systems with the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag set.
- Verify that the remoteWriteCtx.TryPush() returns true in the TestRemoteWriteContext_TryPush_ImmutableTimeseries test.
- Mention in vmagent docs that the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.

'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{}'.
Move the code responsible for relabelCtx clearing into deferred function.

We don't cover this corner case as it has low chance for reproduction.
Precisely, the requirements are following:
1. vmagent need to be configured with multiple identical `remoteWrite.url` flags;
2. At least one of the persistent queues need to be non-empty, which already
signalizes about issues with setup;
3. vmagent need to be restarted with removing of one of `remoteWrite.url` flags.
We do not document this case in vmagent.md as it seems to be a rare corner case
and its explanation will require too much of explanation and confuse users.

Stream aggregation may yield inaccurate results if it processes incomplete data.
This issue can arise when data is sourced from clients that maintain a queue of unsent data, such as Prometheus or vmagent.
If the queue isn't fully cleared within the aggregation interval, only a portion of the time series may be included in that period, leading to distorted calculations.
To mitigate this we add an option to ignore first N aggregation intervals. It is expected, that client queues
will be cleared during the time while aggregation ignores first N intervals and all subsequent aggregations
will be correct.
- 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.

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

* 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.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2110
* 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.
