vmgateway

/vmgateway.html

vmgateway is a part of enterprise package. It is available for download and evaluation at releases page. See how to request a free trial license here.

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.

Access Control

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 one of the following formats:

with vm_access claim as JSON object

{
  "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
  }
}

or with vm_access claim as string

{
  "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 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

# single
# start node
./bin/victoria-metrics --selfScrapeInterval=10s

Start vmgateway

./bin/vmgateway -eula -enable.auth -read.url http://localhost:8428 --write.url http://localhost:8428

Retrieve data from the database

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:

curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count'

curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count' -H 'Authorization: Bearer incorrect-token'

Rate Limiter

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:

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.

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:

./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-----

`

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 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:

/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:

/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:

/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:

/bin/vmgateway -eula \
  -enable.auth \
  -write.url=http://localhost:8480 \
  -read.url=http://localhost:8481 \

     The maximum duration for a graceful shutdown of the HTTP server. A highly loaded server may require increased value for a graceful shutdown (default 7s)
  -http.pathPrefix string
     An optional prefix to add to all the paths handled by http server. For example, if '-http.pathPrefix=/foo/bar' is set, then all the http requests will be handled on '/foo/bar/*' paths. This may be useful for proxied requests. See https://www.robustperception.io/using-external-urls-and-proxies-with-prometheus
  -http.shutdownDelay duration
     Optional delay before http server shutdown. During this delay, the server returns non-OK responses from /health page, so load balancers can route new requests to other servers
  -httpAuth.password value
     Password for HTTP server's Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if -httpAuth.username is empty
     Flag value can be read from the given file when using -httpAuth.password=file:///abs/path/to/file or -httpAuth.password=file://./relative/path/to/file . Flag value can be read from the given http/https url when using -httpAuth.password=http://host/path or -httpAuth.password=https://host/path
  -httpAuth.username string
     Username for HTTP server's Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if empty. See also -httpAuth.password
  -httpListenAddr array
     TCP address to listen for incoming http requests. See also -httpListenAddr.useProxyProtocol

TroubleShooting

Access control:
- incorrect jwt format, try https://jwt.io/#debugger-io with our tokens
- expired token, check exp field.
Rate Limiting:
- scrape_interval at datasource, reduce it to apply limits faster.

Limitations

Access Control:
- jwt token signature verification for HMAC algorithms is not supported.
RateLimiting:
- limits applied based on queries to datasource.url
- only cluster version can be rate-limited.
