* updates change log
* adds VL-Debug http header
* updates doc
* extracts only the first value of http headers for VL-Stream-Fields and VL-Ignore-Fields.
It makes behaviour the same as Query string args. And allows to easily configure client applications.
Since most of the client collectors don't support multi value headers.

* Many collectors don't support forwarding url query params to the remote system. It makes impossible to define stream fields for it. Workaround with proxy between VictoriaLogs and log shipper is too complicated solution.
* This commit adds the following changes:
* Adds fallback to to headers params, if query param is empty for:
_msg_field -> VL-Msg-Field
_stream_fields -> VL-Stream-Fields
_ignore_fields -> VL-Ignore-Fields
_time_field -> VL-Time-Field
* removes deprecations from victorialogs compose files, added more
output format examples for logstash, telegraf, fluent-bit

Previously the in-memory buffer could remain unflushed for long periods of time under low ingestion rate.
The ingested logs weren't visible for search during this time.
The set of log fields in the found logs may differ from the set of log fields present in the log stream.
So compare only the log fields in the found logs when searching for the matching log entry in the log stream.
While at it, return _stream field in the delimiter log entry, since this field is used by VictoriaLogs Web UI
for grouping logs by log streams.
### Describe Your Changes
- Fixed the update of the relative time range when `Execute Query` is
clicked
- Optimized server requests: now, if an error occurs in the `/query`
request, the `/hits` request will not be executed.
#6345 (duplicates: #6440, #6312)
The TryParseTimestampRFC3339Nano() must properly parse RFC3339 timestamps with timezone offsets.
While at it, make tryParseTimestampISO8601 function private in order to prevent
from improper usage of this function from outside the lib/logstorage package.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6508
This reverts commit 92b22581e6.
Reason for revert: too complex and slow approach for spellchecking task.
This approach may significantly slow down development pace. It also may take non-trivial
amounts of additional time and resources at CI/CD because of all this npm shit at cspell directory.
Note to @arkid15r : the idea with the ability to run spellchecker on all the VictoriaMetrics
codebase is great. But this shouldn't be mandatory pre-commit check. It is enough to have
a Makefile rule like `make spellcheck`, which could be run manually whenever spellcheck is needed
(e.g. once per month or once per quarter).
- Added a bar chart displaying the number of log entries over a time
range.
#6404
- When `_msg` is empty, all fields are displayed in a single line.
- Added double quotes when copying pairs: `key: "value"`.
- Minor style adjustments.
Add support for markdown format and emoji for the `_msg` field in the
"Group" view.
Add markdown rendering toggle. Disabled by default. Value is stored in
`localStorage`.
This PR fixes an issue where parsing long `_msg` values caused errors,
resulting in some log records not being displayed.
The error occurred due to partial processing of strings. In some cases,
a long record could be split into multiple chunks, causing only part of
the record to be processed instead of the entire entry.

It has been appeared that there are VictoriaMetrics users, who rely on the fact that
VictoriaMetrics components were closing incoming connections to -httpListenAddr every 2 minutes
by default. So let's return back this value by default in order to fix the breaking change

See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1304#issuecomment-1961891450 .
- Consistently return the first `limit` log entries if the total size of found log entries doesn't exceed 1Mb.

- Document the `limit` query arg at docs/VictoriaLogs/querying/README.md
- Make the change less intrusive.

This reverts commit 3d7a77bf82.
Reason for revert: relative links do not work properly at GitHub code
and at GitHub wiki. For example, the following page contains broken links
before reverting this commit:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/VictoriaLogs/CHANGELOG.md
It is always better to use absolute links thank relative links, since the page contents
can be copy-n-pasted to other pages, which are located in vastly different directories,
and all the links will remain working.
- Move uniqueFields from rows to blockStreamMerger struct.
This allows localizing all the references to uniqueFields inside blockStreamMerger.mustWriteBlock(),
which should improve readability and maintainability of the code.
- Remove logging of the event when blocks cannot be merged because they contain more than maxColumnsPerBlock,
since the provided logging didn't provide the solution for the issue with too many columns.
I couldn't figure out the proper solution, which could be helpful for end user,
so decided to remove the logging until we find the solution.
This commit also contains the following additional changes:
- It truncates field names longer than 128 chars during logs ingestion.
This should prevent from ingesting bogus field names.
This also should prevent from too big columnsHeader blocks,
which could negatively affect search query performance,
since columnsHeader is read on every scan of the corresponding data block.
- It limits the maximum length of const column value to 256.
Longer values are stored in an ordinary columns.
This helps limiting the size of columnsHeader blocks
and improving search query performance by avoiding
reading too long const columns on every scan of the corresponding data block.
- It deduplicates columns with identical names during data ingestion
and background merging. Previously it was possible to pass columns with duplicate names
to block.mustInitFromRows(), and they were stored as is in the block.

* lib/logstorage: prevent from panic during background merge

- Switch from summary to histogram for vl_http_request_duration_seconds metric.
This allows calculating request duration quantiles across multiple hosts
via histogram_quantile(0.99, sum(vl_http_request_duration_seconds_bucket) by (vmrange)).
- Take into account only successfully processed data ingestion requests
when updating vl_http_request_duration_seconds histogram.
Failed requests are ignored, since they may significantly skew measurements.
- Clarify the description of the change at docs/VictoriaLogs/CHANGELOG.md.

Adding limit on ingestion allows to avoid issues like this one https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4762
Such issues are often caused by misconfigurtion on log persing/ingestion side and preventing such rows from being ingested allows to avoid performance implications created by storing such log rows.

- Parse protobuf if Content-Type isn't set to `application/json` - this behavior is documented at https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/api/#push-log-entries-to-loki
- Properly handle gzip'ped JSON requests. The `gzip` header must be read from `Content-Encoding` instead of `Content-Type` header
- Properly flush all the parsed logs with the explicit call to vlstorage.MustAddRows() at the end of query handler
- Check JSON field types more strictly.
- Allow parsing Loki timestamp as floating-point number. Such a timestamp can be generated by some clients,
which store timestamps in float64 instead of int64.
- Optimize parsing of Loki labels in Prometheus text exposition format.
- Simplify tests.
- Remove lib/slicesutil, since there are no more users for it.
- Update docs with missing info and fix various typos. For example, it should be enough to have `instance` and `job` labels
as stream fields in most Loki setups.
- Allow empty of missing timestamps in the ingested logs.
The current timestamp at VictoriaLogs side is then used for the ingested logs.
This simplifies debugging and testing of the provided HTTP-based data ingestion APIs.
The remaining MAJOR issue, which needs to be addressed: victoria-logs binary size increased from 13MB to 22MB
after adding support for Loki data ingestion protocol at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4482 .
This is because of shitty protobuf dependencies. They must be replaced with another protobuf implementation
similar to the one used at lib/prompb or lib/prompbmarshal .
