Occasionally, vmagent sends empty blocks to downstream servers. If a
downstream server returns an unexpected response, vmagent gets stuck in
a retry loop. While vmagent handles 400 and 409 errors, there are
various prometheus remote write implementations that return different
error codes. For example, vector returns a 422 error. To mitigate the
risk of vmagent getting stuck in a retry loop, it is advisable to skip
sending empty blocks to downstream servers.

The new flag type is supposed to be used for specifying URL values which
could contain sensitive information such as auth tokens in GET params or
HTTP basic authentication.
The URL flag also allows loading its value from files if `file://`
prefix is specified. As example, the new flag type was used in
app/vmbackup as it requires specifying `authKey` param for making the
snapshot.

(cherry picked from commit 9bedbcfa2f)
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.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6040
This speeds up auto-suggestion for metric names in VMUI and Grafana, which use the following query in this case:
/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={__name__=~"*.some_value.*"}
When the user types `some_value` in the query input field.
- Use exact matching by default for the query arg value provided via arg=value syntax at src_query_args.
Regex matching can be enabled by using =~ instead of = . For example, arg=~regex.
This ensures that the exact matching works as expected without the need to escape special regex chars.
- Add helper functions for creating QueryArg, Header and Regex structs in tests.
This improves maintainability of the tests.
- Remove url.QueryUnescape() call on the url in TestCreateTargetURLSuccess(), since this is bogus approach.
The url.QueryUnescape() must be applied to individual query args, and it mustn't be applied to the whole url,
since in this case it may perform invalid unescaping in the context of the url, or make the resulting url invalid.
While at it, properly marshal all the fields inside UserInfo config to yaml in tests.
Previously Header and QueryArg structs were improperly marshaled because the custom MarshalYAML
is called only on pointers to Header and QueryArg structs. This improves test coverage.

* app/vmauth: do not increment backend_errors when hitting concurrency limit
Previously, both "vmauth_concurrent_requests_limit_reached_total" and "vmauth_user_request_backend_errors_total" were incremented.
This was based on the assumption that if concurrency limit is hit the backend must be failing to handle the request thus meaning an error.
This assumption does not work in case the endpoint can be overloaded by the misbehaving client sending too many requests within the timeframe.

- 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.

This reverts commit cb23685681.
Reason for revert: the "fix" may hide programming bugs related to incorrect creation of folders
before their use. This may complicate detecting and fixing such bugs in the future.
There are the following fixes for the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5985 :
- To configure the OS to do not drop data from the system-wide temporary directory (aka /tmp).
- To run VictoriaMetrics with -cacheDataPath command-line flag, which points to the directory,
which cannot be removed automatically by the OS.
The case when the user accidentally deletes the directory with some files created by VictoriaMetrics
shouldn't be considered as expected, so VictoriaMetrics shouldn't try resolving this case automatically.
It is much better from operation and debuggability PoV is to crash with the clear `directory doesn't exist` error
in this case.
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.

There is no need in documenting this change at docs/CHANGELOG.md, since it doesn't give any useful information to users.

Using MinTimestamp leads to applying downsampling to parts which are only partially covered by downsampling rule.
For example, partition covers range [1000-2000]. At t=2100 and rule offset 500 data with t=2100-500 => 1600 must be downsampled. The range check against MinTimestamp evaluates to true even though partition contains range which must not be downsampled - [1600:2000].

- Apply the first matching downsampling period if multiple filters match the given time series.

- Reduce the difference between community and enterprise branches. This should simplify further maintenance of these branches.
- Properly parse series filters with colons inside them.

vmselect uses a cache folder in file system for two purposes:
1. Storing rollup cache results on shutdown;
2. Storing temporary search results from vmstorage during query executions.
It could happen that cache folder is deleted accidentally by user, or by OS
during cleanup routines. This would cause vmselect to:
1. panic on /metrics call, because `MustGetFreeSpace` will fail;
2. return query error user, as it won't be able to store temporary search results.
The changes in this commit are the following:
1. Make `MustGetFreeSpace` to try re-creating the cache folder if it is missing;
2. Make vmselect to try re-creating the cache folder if it can't persist tmp search
results.

If tlsServerName isn't empty, then it is likely the https request is sent to IP instead of hostname.
In this case the request will fail, since Go automatically sets the Host header to the IP instead
of the desired hostname at tlsServerName. So set the Host header to tlsServerName if itsn't empty.

The `match[]` filter is mandatory at /api/v1/series, so it mustn't be dropped here.
There is no sense in dropping `match[]` filter together with `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]`
at /api/v1/labels and /api/v1/label/.../values if -search.ignoreExtraFiltersAtLabelsAPI commnad-line flag is set,
since:
- the `match[]` filter triggers slow path at these APIs;
- the `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]` filters narrow down the number of matched time series,
so they improve performance comparing to the case when only `match[]` filter is left,
while `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]` filters are dropped.

During background downsampling, rate(vm_deduplicated_samples_total{type="merge"}) could be much bigger than
rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total) and it could last quite some time,
which causes negative values of Storage full ETA and confuses users, see playground.
Instead of trying to get more accurate results during downsampling, I think it's ok to ignore
vm_deduplicated_samples_total at all, it's more reasonable to see Storage full ETA increase after downsampling.

This limit has little sense for these APIs, since:
- Thses APIs frequently result in scanning of all the time series on the given time range.
For example, if extra_filters={datacenter="some_dc"} .
- Users expect these APIs shouldn't hit the -search.maxUniqueTimeseries limit,
which is intended for limiting resource usage at /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range requests.
Also limit the concurrency for /api/v1/labels, /api/v1/label/.../values
and /api/v1/series requests in order to limit the maximum memory usage and CPU usage for these API.

- Maintain a separate worker pool per each part type (in-memory, file, big and small).
Previously a shared pool was used for merging all the part types.
A single merge worker could merge parts with mixed types at once. For example,
it could merge simultaneously an in-memory part plus a big file part.
Such a merge could take hours for big file part. During the duration of this merge
the in-memory part was pinned in memory and couldn't be persisted to disk
under the configured -inmemoryDataFlushInterval .
Another common issue, which could happen when parts with mixed types are merged,
is uncontrolled growth of in-memory parts or small parts when all the merge workers
were busy with merging big files. Such growth could lead to significant performance
degradataion for queries, since every query needs to check ever growing list of parts.
This could also slow down the registration of new time series, since VictoriaMetrics
searches for the internal series_id in the indexdb for every new time series.
The third issue is graceful shutdown duration, which could be very long when a background
merge is running on in-memory parts plus big file parts. This merge couldn't be interrupted,
since it merges in-memory parts.
A separate pool of merge workers per every part type elegantly resolves both issues:
- In-memory parts are merged to file-based parts in a timely manner, since the maximum
size of in-memory parts is limited.
- Long-running merges for big parts do not block merges for in-memory parts and small parts.
- Graceful shutdown duration is now limited by the time needed for flushing in-memory parts to files.
Merging for file parts is instantly canceled on graceful shutdown now.
- Deprecate -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag, since the new background merge algorithm
should automatically self-tune according to the number of available CPU cores.
- Deprecate -finalMergeDelay command-line flag, since it wasn't working correctly.
It is better to run forced merge when needed - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#forced-merge
- Tune the number of shards for pending rows and items before the data goes to in-memory parts
and becomes visible for search. This improves the maximum data ingestion rate and the maximum rate
for registration of new time series. This should reduce the duration of data ingestion slowdown
in VictoriaMetrics cluster on e.g. re-routing events, when some of vmstorage nodes become temporarily
unavailable.
- Prevent from possible "sync: WaitGroup misuse" panic on graceful shutdown.
This is a follow-up for fa566c68a6 .

This reverts cd4f641d32 , since it has been appeared that the disabled compression
for vmstorage->vmselect data increase network bandwidth usage by more than 10x on typical production workloads,
while it decreases CPU usage at vmstorage by up to 10% and improves query latency by up to 10%.
The 10x increase in network usage is too high price for 10% improvements on query latency and vmstorage CPU usage.
This may result in network bandwidth bottlenecks, which can reduce the overall performance and stability
of VictoriaMetrics cluster. That's why return back the vmstorage->vmselect data compression by default.
The vmstorage->vmselect compression can be disabled by passing -rpc.disableCompression command-line flag to vmstorage.
The vmselect->vmselect compression in multi-level cluster setup can be disabled by passing -clusternative.disableCompression command-line flag.
It has been appeared that the registration of new time series slows down linearly
with the number of indexdb parts, since VictoriaMetrics needs to check every indexdb part
when it searches for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The number of in-memory parts grows when new time series are registered
at high rate. The number of in-memory parts grows faster on systems with big number
of CPU cores, because the mergeset maintains per-CPU buffers with newly added entries
for the indexdb, and every such entry is transformed eventually into a separate in-memory part.
The solution has been suggested in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212
by @misutoth - to limit the number of in-memory parts with buffered channel.
This solution is implemented in this commit. Additionally, this commit merges per-CPU parts
into a single part before adding it to the list of in-memory parts. This reduces CPU load
when searching for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212 recommends setting the limit on the number
of in-memory parts to 100, but my internal testing shows that much lower limit 15 works with the same efficiency
on a system with 16 CPU cores while reducing memory usage for `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache by up to 50%.

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

Each Grafana dashboard has unique ID which can be used to fetch the dashboard
from grafana.com: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11176
The same dashboard can be accessed via URL with slug: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11176-victoriametrics-cluster/
But using slug implies that any change to dashboard name will break the link.
So it is better to just use ID, so the dashboard URL will never break.

It is likely this value was borrowed from panel `Slow inserts` panel
from Grafana dasbhoard for VM single/cluster installations. This is a mistake.
There is no such thing as "tolerable churn rate", as tolerancy depends on the amount
of allocated resources.
Although, it is unclear what is meant by 5%. If it refers to 5% of new time series per second,
then such churn rate is extremely high. It would mean that the avg life of a time series is 20s.

- Clarify the bugfix description at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Simplify the code by accessing prefetchedMetricIDs struct under the lock
instead of using lockless access to immutable struct.
This shouldn't worsen code scalability too much on busy systems with many CPU cores,
since the code executed under the lock is quite small and fast.
This allows removing cloning of prefetchedMetricIDs struct every time
new metric names are pre-fetched. This should reduce load on Go GC,
since the cloning of uin64set.Set struct allocates many new objects.
Add docs to explain that `latest` backup folder can be accessed
more frequently than others. Hence, it is recommended to keep it
on storages with low access price.

It was calculating the number of dropped time series instead of the number of dropped samples.
While at it, drop vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_bytes_total metric, since it was inconsistently calculated -
at one place it was calculating raw protobuf-encoded sample sizes, while at another place it was calculating
the size of snappy-compressed prompbmarshal.WriteRequest protobuf message.
Additionally, this metric has zero practical sense, so just drop it in order to reduce the level of confusion.

Some clients may ingest samples via OpenTelemetry protocol without Resource labels.
Previously VictoriaMetrics was silently dropping such samples.
The commit 317834f876 added vm_protoparser_rows_dropped_total{type="opentelemetry",reason="resource_not_set"}
counter for tracking of such dropped samples. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5459
It is better from usability PoV to accept such samples instead of dropping them and incrementing the corresponding counter.

between source and destination. But errors returned by server after

Previously concurrency for static and fast queries was limited with the -search.maxConcurrentRequests

since `vmui` and these pages couldn't be opened on overloaded vmselect.
Thanks to @f41gh7 for the idea.

This should improve debuging why particular targets are dropped.
While at it, do not remove dropped targets from the list at /service-discovery page
until the total number of targets exceeds the limit passed to -promscrape.maxDroppedTargets .
Previously the list was cleaned up every 10 minutes from the entries, which weren't updated

* 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.

Tests showed that importing a single line with 70MB size takes 5.3GiB
RSS memory for VictoriaMetrics single-node.
In the scenario when user exports and imports data from one VM to another,
it could possibly lead to OOM exception for destination VM.
Importing a single line with 16MB size taks 1.3GiB RSS memory.
Hence, the limit for `import.maxLineLen` was decreased from 100MB to 10MB
to improve reliability of VictoriaMetrics during imports.

This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent successfully performed handshake with the -remoteWrite.url and the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. remote storage became unavailable or slow to ingest data, vmagent compressed the collected data into blocks with zstd and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
3. vmagent restarts and the remote storage is unavailable during the handshake, then vmagent falls back to Snappy compression.
4. vmagent starts sending zstd-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage, while falsely advertizing it sends Snappy-compressed data.
5. The remote storage receives zstd-compressed data and fails unpacking it with Snappy.
The solution is the same as 12cd32fd75, just fall back to zstd decompression if Snappy decompression fails.
The buffered connection could have exceeded the underlying connection
deadline during reading or writing to an internal buffer.
With this change, buffered connection struct additionally checks
for a deadline in Read/Write methods.

evalRollupFuncNoCache() may return time series with identical labels (aka duplicate series)
when performing queries satisfying all the following conditions:
- It must select time series with multiple metric names. For example, {__name__=~"foo|bar"}
- The series selector must be wrapped into rollup function, which drops metric names. For example, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
- The rollup function must be wrapped into aggregate function, which has no streaming optimization.
For example, quantile(0.9, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
In this case VictoriaMetrics shouldn't return `cannot merge series: duplicate series found` error.
Instead, it should fall back to query execution with disabled cache.
Also properly store the merged results. Previously they were incorrectly stored because of a typo
introduced in the commit 41a0fdaf39

3. vmagent compresses the collected data into blocks with Snappy and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
