# vmgateway
***vmgateway is a part of [enterprise package](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/). It is available for download and evaluation at [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases)***
<img alt="vmgateway" src="vmgateway-overview.jpeg">
`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://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/).
## Access Control
<img alt="vmgateway-ac" src="vmgateway-access-control.jpg">
`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": {"tenand_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
```console
# single
# start node
./bin/victoria-metrics --selfScrapeInterval=10s
```
Start vmgateway
```console
./bin/vmgateway -eula -enable.auth -read.url http://localhost:8428 --write.url http://localhost:8428
```
Retrieve data from the database
```console
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:
```console
curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count'
curl 'http://localhost:8431/api/v1/series/count' -H 'Authorization: Bearer incorrect-token'
```
## Rate Limiter
<img alt="vmgateway-rl" src="vmgateway-rate-limiting.jpg">
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.
```console
# 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']

Optional HTTP extraHeaders to send with each request to the corresponding -datasource.url. For example, -datasource.headers='My-Auth:foobar' would send 'My-Auth: foobar' HTTP header with every request to the corresponding -datasource.url. Multiple headers must be delimited by '^^': -datasource.headers='header1:value1^^header2:value2'
-datasource.lookback duration
Lookback defines how far into the past to look when evaluating queries. For example, if the datasource.lookback=5m then param "time" with value now()-5m will be added to every query.
-datasource.maxIdleConnections int
Defines the number of idle (keep-alive connections) to each configured datasource. Consider setting this value equal to the value: groups_total * group.concurrency. Too low a value may result in a high number of sockets in TIME_WAIT state. (default 100)
-datasource.oauth2.clientID string
Optional OAuth2 clientID to use for -datasource.url.
-datasource.oauth2.clientSecret string
Optional OAuth2 clientSecret to use for -datasource.url.
-datasource.oauth2.clientSecretFile string
Optional OAuth2 clientSecretFile to use for -datasource.url.

Optional OAuth2 scopes to use for -datasource.url. Scopes must be delimited by ';'
-datasource.oauth2.tokenUrl string
Optional OAuth2 tokenURL to use for -datasource.url.
-datasource.queryStep duration
queryStep defines how far a value can fallback to when evaluating queries. For example, if datasource.queryStep=15s then param "step" with value "15s" will be added to every query.If queryStep isn't specified, rule's evaluationInterval will be used instead.
-datasource.queryTimeAlignment
Whether to align "time" parameter with evaluation interval.Alignment supposed to produce deterministic results despite of number of vmalert replicas or time they were started. See more details here https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1257 (default true)
-datasource.roundDigits int
Adds "round_digits" GET param to datasource requests. In VM "round_digits" limits the number of digits after the decimal point in response values.
-datasource.showURL
Whether to show -datasource.url in the exported metrics. It is hidden by default, since it can contain sensitive info such as auth key
-datasource.tlsCAFile string
Optional path to TLS CA file to use for verifying connections to -datasource.url. By default, system CA is used
-datasource.tlsCertFile string
Optional path to client-side TLS certificate file to use when connecting to -datasource.url
-datasource.tlsInsecureSkipVerify
Whether to skip tls verification when connecting to -datasource.url
-datasource.tlsKeyFile string
Optional path to client-side TLS certificate key to use when connecting to -datasource.url
-datasource.tlsServerName string
Optional TLS server name to use for connections to -datasource.url. By default, the server name from -datasource.url is used
-datasource.url string
Datasource compatible with Prometheus HTTP API. It can be single node VictoriaMetrics or vmselect URL. Required parameter. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428 . See also '-datasource.disablePathAppend', '-datasource.showURL'.
-enable.auth
enables auth with jwt token
-enable.rateLimit
enables rate limiter
-enableTCP6
Whether to enable IPv6 for listening and dialing. By default only IPv4 TCP and UDP is used
-envflag.enable
Whether to enable reading flags from environment variables additionally to command line. Command line flag values have priority over values from environment vars. Flags are read only from command line if this flag isn't set. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#environment-variables for more details
-envflag.prefix string
Prefix for environment variables if -envflag.enable is set
-eula
By specifying this flag, you confirm that you have an enterprise license and accept the EULA https://victoriametrics.com/assets/VM_EULA.pdf . This flag is available only in enterprise version of VictoriaMetrics
-flagsAuthKey string
Auth key for /flags endpoint. It must be passed via authKey query arg. It overrides httpAuth.* settings
-fs.disableMmap
Whether to use pread() instead of mmap() for reading data files. By default mmap() is used for 64-bit arches and pread() is used for 32-bit arches, since they cannot read data files bigger than 2^32 bytes in memory. mmap() is usually faster for reading small data chunks than pread()
-http.connTimeout duration
Incoming http connections are closed after the configured timeout. This may help to spread the incoming load among a cluster of services behind a load balancer. Please note that the real timeout may be bigger by up to 10% as a protection against the thundering herd problem (default 2m0s)
-http.disableResponseCompression
Disable compression of HTTP responses to save CPU resources. By default compression is enabled to save network bandwidth
-http.idleConnTimeout duration
Timeout for incoming idle http connections (default 1m0s)
-http.maxGracefulShutdownDuration duration
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 string
Password for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if -httpAuth.username is empty
-httpAuth.username string
Username for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if empty. See also -httpAuth.password
-httpListenAddr string
TCP address to listen for http connections (default ":8431")
-loggerDisableTimestamps
Whether to disable writing timestamps in logs
-loggerErrorsPerSecondLimit int
Per-second limit on the number of ERROR messages. If more than the given number of errors are emitted per second, the remaining errors are suppressed. Zero values disable the rate limit

Format for logs. Possible values: default, json (default "default")
-loggerLevel string
Minimum level of errors to log. Possible values: INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (default "INFO")
-loggerOutput string
Output for the logs. Supported values: stderr, stdout (default "stderr")
-loggerTimezone string
Timezone to use for timestamps in logs. Timezone must be a valid IANA Time Zone. For example: America/New_York, Europe/Berlin, Etc/GMT+3 or Local (default "UTC")
-loggerWarnsPerSecondLimit int
Per-second limit on the number of WARN messages. If more than the given number of warns are emitted per second, then the remaining warns are suppressed. Zero values disable the rate limit
-memory.allowedBytes size
Allowed size of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. This option overrides -memory.allowedPercent if set to a non-zero value. Too low a value may increase the cache miss rate usually resulting in higher CPU and disk IO usage. Too high a value may evict too much data from OS page cache resulting in higher disk IO usage
Supports the following optional suffixes for size values: KB, MB, GB, KiB, MiB, GiB (default 0)
-memory.allowedPercent float
Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. See also -memory.allowedBytes. Too low a value may increase cache miss rate usually resulting in higher CPU and disk IO usage. Too high a value may evict too much data from OS page cache which will result in higher disk IO usage (default 60)
-metricsAuthKey string
Auth key for /metrics endpoint. It must be passed via authKey query arg. It overrides httpAuth.* settings
-pprofAuthKey string
Auth key for /debug/pprof/* endpoints. It must be passed via authKey query arg. It overrides httpAuth.* settings
-pushmetrics.extraLabel array
Optional labels to add to metrics pushed to -pushmetrics.url . For example, -pushmetrics.extraLabel='instance="foo"' adds instance="foo" label to all the metrics pushed to -pushmetrics.url
Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
-pushmetrics.interval duration
Interval for pushing metrics to -pushmetrics.url (default 10s)

additional labels, that will be applied to fetchdata from datasource
Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
-ratelimit.refreshInterval duration
(default 5s)
-read.url string
read access url address, example: http://vmselect:8481
-remoteRead.disablePathAppend
Whether to disable automatic appending of '/api/v1/query' path to the configured -datasource.url and -remoteRead.url
-tls
Whether to enable TLS for incoming HTTP requests at -httpListenAddr (aka https). -tlsCertFile and -tlsKeyFile must be set if -tls is set
-tlsCertFile string
Path to file with TLS certificate if -tls is set. Prefer ECDSA certs instead of RSA certs as RSA certs are slower. The provided certificate file is automatically re-read every second, so it can be dynamically updated
-tlsCipherSuites array
Optional list of TLS cipher suites for incoming requests over HTTPS if -tls is set. See the list of supported cipher suites at https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#pkg-constants
Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
-tlsKeyFile string
Path to file with TLS key if -tls is set. The provided key file is automatically re-read every second, so it can be dynamically updated
-version
Show VictoriaMetrics version
-write.url string
write access url address, example: http://vminsert:8480
```
## 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 must be validated by external system, currently `vmgateway` can't validate the signature.
* RateLimiting:
* limits applied based on queries to `datasource.url`
* only cluster version can be rate-limited.
