--- weight: 9 menu: docs: parent: victoriametrics weight: 9 title: vmgateway aliases: - /vmgateway.html --- ***vmgateway is a part of [enterprise package](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/). It is available for download and evaluation at [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/latest). See how to request a free trial license [here](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/trial/).*** ![vmgateway](vmgateway-overview.webp) `vmgateway` is a proxy for the VictoriaMetrics Time Series Database (TSDB). It provides the following features: * Rate Limiter * Based on cluster tenant's utilization, it supports multiple time interval limits for both the ingestion and retrieval of metrics * Token Access Control * Supports additional per-label access control for both the Single and Cluster versions of the VictoriaMetrics TSDB * Provides access by tenantID in the Cluster version * Allows for separate write/read/admin access to data `vmgateway` is included in our [enterprise packages](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/). ## Access Control ![vmgateway-ac](vmgateway-access-control.webp) `vmgateway` supports jwt based authentication. With jwt payload can be configured to give access to specific tenants and labels as well as to read/write. jwt token must be in following format: ```json { "exp": 1617304574, "vm_access": { "tenant_id": { "account_id": 1, "project_id": 5 }, "extra_labels": { "team": "dev", "project": "mobile" }, "extra_filters": ["{env=~\"prod|dev\",team!=\"test\"}"], "mode": 1 } } ``` Where: * `exp` - required, expire time in unix_timestamp. If the token expires then `vmgateway` rejects the request. * `vm_access` - required, dict with claim info, minimum form: `{"vm_access": {"tenant_id": {}}` * `tenant_id` - optional, for cluster mode, routes requests to the corresponding tenant. * `extra_labels` - optional, key-value pairs for label filters added to the ingested or selected metrics. Multiple filters are added with `and` operation. If defined, `extra_label` from original request removed. * `extra_filters` - optional, [series selectors](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/#time-series-selectors) added to the select query requests. Multiple selectors are added with `or` operation. If defined, `extra_filter` from original request removed. * `mode` - optional, access mode for api - read, write, or full. Supported values: 0 - full (default value), 1 - read, 2 - write. ## QuickStart Start the single version of VictoriaMetrics ```sh # single # start node ./bin/victoria-metrics --selfScrapeInterval=10s ``` Start vmgateway ```sh ./bin/vmgateway -eula -enable.auth -read.url http://localhost:8428 --write.url http://localhost:8428 ``` Retrieve data from the database ```sh curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ2bV9hY2Nlc3MiOnsidGVuYW50X2lkIjp7fSwicm9sZSI6MX0sImV4cCI6MTkzOTM0NjIxMH0.5WUxEfdcV9hKo4CtQdtuZYOGpGXWwaqM9VuVivMMrVg' ``` A request with an incorrect token or without any token will be rejected: ```sh curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count' curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count' -H 'Authorization: Bearer incorrect-token' ``` ## Rate Limiter ![vmgateway-rl](vmgateway-rate-limiting.webp) Limits incoming requests by given, pre-configured limits. It supports read and write limiting by tenant. `vmgateway` needs a datasource for rate limit queries. It can be either single-node or cluster version of `victoria-metrics`. The metrics that you want to rate limit must be scraped from the cluster. List of supported limit types: * `queries` - count of api requests made at tenant to read the api, such as `/api/v1/query`, `/api/v1/series` and others. * `active_series` - count of current active series at any given tenant. * `new_series` - count of created series; aka churn rate * `rows_inserted` - count of inserted rows per tenant. List of supported time windows: * `minute` * `hour` Limits can be specified per tenant or at a global level if you omit `project_id` and `account_id`. Example of configuration file: ```yaml limits: - type: queries value: 1000 resolution: minute - type: queries value: 10000 resolution: hour - type: queries value: 10 resolution: minute project_id: 5 account_id: 1 ``` ## QuickStart cluster version of VictoriaMetrics is required for rate limiting. ```sh # start datasource for cluster metrics cat << EOF > cluster.yaml scrape_configs: - job_name: cluster scrape_interval: 5s static_configs: - targets: ['127.0.0.1:8481','127.0.0.1:8482','127.0.0.1:8480'] EOF ./bin/victoria-metrics --promscrape.config cluster.yaml # start cluster # start vmstorage, vmselect and vminsert ./bin/vmstorage -eula ./bin/vmselect -eula -storageNode 127.0.0.1:8401 ./bin/vminsert -eula -storageNode 127.0.0.1:8400 # create base rate limiting config: cat << EOF > limit.yaml limits: - type: queries value: 100 - type: rows_inserted value: 100000 - type: new_series value: 1000 - type: active_series value: 100000 - type: queries value: 1 account_id: 15 EOF # start gateway with clusterMoe ./bin/vmgateway -eula -enable.rateLimit -ratelimit.config limit.yaml -datasource.url http://localhost:8428 -enable.auth -clusterMode -write.url=http://localhost:8480 --read.url=http://localhost:8481 # ingest simple metric to tenant 1:5 curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/import/prometheus' -X POST -d 'foo{bar="baz1"} 123' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2MjAxNjIwMDAwMDAsInZtX2FjY2VzcyI6eyJ0ZW5hbnRfaWQiOnsiYWNjb3VudF9pZCI6MTV9fX0.PB1_KXDKPUp-40pxOGk6lt_jt9Yq80PIMpWVJqSForQ' # read metric from tenant 1:5 curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/labels' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2MjAxNjIwMDAwMDAsInZtX2FjY2VzcyI6eyJ0ZW5hbnRfaWQiOnsiYWNjb3VudF9pZCI6MTV9fX0.PB1_KXDKPUp-40pxOGk6lt_jt9Yq80PIMpWVJqSForQ' # check rate limit ``` ## JWT signature verification `vmgateway` supports JWT signature verification. Supported algorithms are `RS256`, `RS384`, `RS512`, `ES256`, `ES384`, `ES512`, `PS256`, `PS384`, `PS512`. Tokens with unsupported algorithms will be rejected. In order to enable JWT signature verification, you need to specify keys for signature verification. The following flags are used to specify keys: - `-auth.publicKeyFiles` - allows to pass file path to file with public key. - `-auth.publicKeys` - allows to pass public key directly. Note that both flags support passing multiple keys and also can be used together. Example usage: ```sh ./bin/vmgateway -eula \ -enable.auth \ -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \ -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \ -auth.publicKeyFiles=public_key.pem \ -auth.publicKeyFiles=public_key2.pem \ -auth.publicKeys=`-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAu1SU1LfVLPHCozMxH2Mo 4lgOEePzNm0tRgeLezV6ffAt0gunVTLw7onLRnrq0/IzW7yWR7QkrmBL7jTKEn5u +qKhbwKfBstIs+bMY2Zkp18gnTxKLxoS2tFczGkPLPgizskuemMghRniWaoLcyeh kd3qqGElvW/VDL5AaWTg0nLVkjRo9z+40RQzuVaE8AkAFmxZzow3x+VJYKdjykkJ 0iT9wCS0DRTXu269V264Vf/3jvredZiKRkgwlL9xNAwxXFg0x/XFw005UWVRIkdg cKWTjpBP2dPwVZ4WWC+9aGVd+Gyn1o0CLelf4rEjGoXbAAEgAqeGUxrcIlbjXfbc mwIDAQAB -----END PUBLIC KEY----- ` ``` This command will result in 3 keys loaded: 2 keys from files and 1 from command line. ### Using OpenID discovery endpoint for JWT signature verification `vmgateway` supports using OpenID discovery endpoint for JWKS keys discovery. In order to enable [OpenID discovery](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html) endpoint for JWT signature verification, you need to specify OpenID discovery endpoint URLs by using `auth.oidcDiscoveryEndpoints` flag. When `auth.oidcDiscoveryEndpoints` is specified `vmgateway` will fetch JWKS keys from the specified endpoint and use them for JWT signature verification. Example usage for tokens issued by Azure Active Directory: ```sh /bin/vmgateway -eula \ -enable.auth \ -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \ -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \ -auth.oidcDiscoveryEndpoints=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration ``` Example usage for tokens issued by Google: ```sh /bin/vmgateway -eula \ -enable.auth \ -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \ -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \ -auth.oidcDiscoveryEndpoints=https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration ``` ### Using JWKS endpoint for JWT signature verification `vmgateway` supports using JWKS endpoint for JWT signature verification. In order to enable JWKS endpoint for JWT signature verification, you need to specify JWKS endpoint URL by using `auth.jwksEndpoints` flag. When `auth.jwksEndpoints` is specified `vmgateway` will fetch public keys from the specified endpoint and use them for JWT signature verification. Example usage for tokens issued by Azure Active Directory: ```sh /bin/vmgateway -eula \ -enable.auth \ -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \ -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \ -auth.jwksEndpoints=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/discovery/v2.0/keys ``` Example usage for tokens issued by Google: ```sh /bin/vmgateway -eula \ -enable.auth \ -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \ -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \ -auth.jwksEndpoints=https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs ``` ## Configuration Below is the list of configuration flags (it can be viewed by running `./vmgateway -help`): ```shellhelp -auth.httpHeader string HTTP header name to look for JWT authorization token (default "Authorization") -auth.jwksEndpoints array JWKS endpoints to fetch keys for JWT tokens signature verification Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
