Repeated instant queries with long lookbehind windows, which contain one of the following rollup functions,
are optimized via partial result caching:
- sum_over_time()
- count_over_time()
- avg_over_time()
- increase()
- rate()
The basic idea of optimization is to calculate
rf(m[d] @ t)
as
rf(m[offset] @ t) + rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) - rf(m[offset] @ (t-d))
where rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) is cached query result, which was calculated previously
The offset may be in the range of up to 1 hour.
The SECURITY label should be applied only to changes, which fix security issues.
The change at ad839aa492 adds new command-line flags, which can be used
for improving security in some cases. They do not fix any security issues.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5111
The new metric gets increased each time `-search.logQueryMemoryUsage` memory limit
is exceeded by a query. This metric should help to identify expensive and heavy queries
without inspecting the logs.

The new rule for vmalert supposed to detect groups that miss their
evaulations due to slow queries.
Signed-off-by: hagen1778 <roman@victoriametrics.com>
The panel `Errors rate to Alertmanager` had `group` label filter
applied to the expression, while the metric `vmalert_alerts_send_errors_total`
doesn't have that label. This resulted into always empty results.

fix possible missing firing states for alerting rules in replay mode
Before if one firing stage is bigger than single query request range, like rule with a big `for`, alerting rule won't able to be detected as firing.

support `Strict-Transport-Security`, `Content-Security-Policy` and `X-Frame-Options`
HTTP headers in all VictoriaMetrics components.
The values for headers can be specified by users via the following flags:
`-http.header.hsts`, `-http.header.csp` and `-http.header.frameOptions`.

Previously url watchers for pod, service and node objects could be mistakenly closed
when service discovery was set up only for endpoints and endpointslice roles,
since watchers for these roles may start start pod, service and node url watchers
with nil apiWatcher passed to groupWatcher.startWatchersForRole().
Now all the url watchers, which belong to a particular groupWatcher, are stopped at once
when this groupWatcher has no apiWatcher subscribers.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5216
The issue has been introduced in v1.93.5 when addressing https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4850
* do not print redundant error logs when failed to scrape consul or nomad target
prometheus performs the same because it uses consul lib which just drops the error(1806bcb38c/api/api.go (L1134))
- Make sure that invalid/missing TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files at vmagent startup
don't prevent from processing the corresponding scrape targets after the file becomes correct,
without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously scrape targets with invalid TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files
were permanently dropped after the first attempt to initialize them, and they didn't
appear until the next vmagent reload or the next change in other places of the loaded scrape configs.
- Make sure that TLS CA is properly re-loaded from file after it changes without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously the old TLS CA was used until vmagent restart.
- Properly handle errors during http request creation for the second attempt to send data to remote system
at vmagent and vmalert. Previously failed request creation could result in nil pointer dereferencing,
since the returned request is nil on error.
- Add more context to the logged error during AWS sigv4 request signing before sending the data to -remoteWrite.url at vmagent.
Previously it could miss details on the source of the request.
- Do not create a new HTTP client per second when generating OAuth2 token needed to put in Authorization header
of every http request issued by vmagent during service discovery or target scraping.
Re-use the HTTP client instead until the corresponding scrape config changes.
- Cache error at lib/promauth.Config.GetAuthHeader() in the same way as the auth header is cached,
e.g. the error is cached for a second now. This should reduce load on CPU and OAuth2 server
when auth header cannot be obtained because of temporary error.
- Share tls.Config.GetClientCertificate function among multiple scrape targets with the same tls_config.
Cache the loaded certificate and the error for one second. This should significantly reduce CPU load
when scraping big number of targets with the same tls_config.
- Allow loading TLS certificates from HTTP and HTTPs urls by specifying these urls at `tls_config->cert_file` and `tls_config->key_file`.
- Improve test coverage at lib/promauth
- Skip unreachable or invalid files specified at `scrape_config_files` during vmagent startup, since these files may become valid later.
Previously vmagent was exitting in this case.

c9375cac5e
Descriptions were updated in attempt to make it more clear for readers,
re-phrasing and linking missing docs.
`eval_delay` was added to tests to verify it can be unmarshalled.
`eval_delay` is now applied before timestamp alignment to make it more predictable.
Before, if delay < interval the timestamp won't be aligned.
`eval_delay` and `eval_offset` was added to API output.
`PreviouslySentSeriesToRW` converted to private `previouslySentSeriesToRW`.

* app/vmselect: limit the number of parallel workers by 32
The change should improve performance and memory usage during query processing
on machines with big number of CPU cores. The number of parallel workers for
query processing is controlled via `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag.
By default, the number of workers is limited by the number of available CPU cores,
but not more than 32. The limit can be increased via `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`.

* wip
- The `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag doesn't limit resource usage,
so move it from the `resource usage limits` to `troubleshooting` chapter at docs/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Make more clear the description for the `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag
- Add the description of `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` to docs/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Limit the maximum value, which can be passed to `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`, to GOMAXPROCS,
because bigger values may worsen query performance and increase CPU usage
- Improve the the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md. Mark it as FEATURE instead of BUGFIX,
since it is closer to a feature than to a bugfix.

* fix inconsistent behaviors with prometheus when scraping
1. address https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4959. skip job with wrong syntax in `scrape_configs` with error logs instead of exiting;
2. show error messages on vmagent /targets ui if there are wrong auth configs in `scrape_configs`, previously will print error logs and do scrape without auth header;
3. don't send requests if there are wrong auth configs in:
1. vmagent remoteWrite;
2. vmalert datasource/remoteRead/remoteWrite/notifier.
* add changelogs
* address review comments
* fix ut
This can be useful in the following queries:
drop_empty_series(temperature <= 30) default 40
This query drops temperature series with all the values bigger than 30 on the selected time range,
while replacing gaps in the remaining series with 40.
The query without drop_empty_series:
(temperature <= 30) default 40
would leave all the temperature series with all the values bigger than 30 on the selected time range,
and replace all their values with 40. This is not what could be epxected in some cases

- Reduce vertical space usage, so more information is available on the screen without the need to scroll.
- Show information for lines with higher values at the top of the legend under the graph.
This should simplify graph analysis when it contains many lines.
Fix vminsert/vmstorage/vmselect metrics filtering when dashboard is used
to display data from many sub-clusters with unique job names.
Before, only one specific job could have been accounted for component-specific panels,
instead of all available jobs for the component.

reduce lock contention for heavy aggregation requests
previously lock contetion may happen on machine with big number of CPU due to enabled string interning. sync.Map was a choke point for all aggregation requests.
Now instead of interning, new string is created. It may increase CPU and memory usage for some cases.

* vmalert: add `query_time_alignment` for rule group
1. add `eval_alignment` attribute for group which by default is true. So group rule query stamp will be aligned with interval and propagated to ALERT metrics and the messages for alertmanager;
2. deprecate `datasource.queryTimeAlignment` flag.
