Besides fixing https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/805 by
making the entire externally reachable server URL configurable, this
adds tests for the "globalURL" template function and makes it easier to
test other such functions in the future.
This breaks the `web.Hostname` flag (and introduces `web.external-url`).
This flag is likely only used by few users, so I hope that's
justifiable.
Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/805
Changes to the UI:
- "Active Since" timestamps are now human-readable.
- Alerting rules are now pretty-printed better.
- Labels are no longer just strings, but alert bubbles (like we do on
the status page for base labels).
- Alert states and target health states are now capitalized in the
presentation layer rather than at the source.
Version information is determined at build-time and thus there is
no need to pass it down from main. In its own package it can
be used from various other packages.
Main changes:
- Switched to using `go-bindata` in place of `scripts/embed-static.sh`.
- Support for building Prometheus without a `Makefile`.
- Minor typo fix to make Prometheus build on Windows (without Makefiles).
Please note that this does not mean that prometheus will work on Windows.
There are still failing tests!
