This imposes a hard limit on the number of samples ingested from the
target. This is counted after metric relabelling, to allow dropping of
problemtic metrics.
This is intended as a very blunt tool to prevent overload due to
misbehaving targets that suddenly jump in sample count (e.g. adding
a label containing email addresses).
Add metric to track how often this happens.
Fixes#2137
0 is considered an invalid interval by time.NewTicker() and will cause a
panic if control reaches that point. Given the vagaries of timekeeping,
this may occasionally happen and make this test unstable.
This commit removes the scrapeConfig entirely from Target.
All identity defining parameters are thus immutable now and the mutex
can be removed..
Target identity is now correctly defined by the labels and the full URL.
This in particular includes URL parameters that are not specified in the
label set.
Fingerprint is also removed from hash to remove an unnecessary tight coupling
to the common/model package.
This commit changes the scraper interface to accept a timestamp
so the reported timestamp by the caller and the timestamp
attached to samples does not differ.
