Brian Brazil c3a2b63fe9 Add stddev and stdvar aggregation functions.
This adds the population standard deviation and
variance as aggregation functions, useful for
spotting how many standard deviations some samples

Julius Volz cb816ea14a Improve timestamp/duration parsing in query API.
Don't handle `0` as a special timestamp value for "now" anymore, except
in the `QueryRange()` case, where existing API consumers still expect
`0` to mean "now".

Also, properly return errors now for malformed timestamp/duration
float values.

beorn7 fa1935a644 Remove /api/targets call and do not show job and instance labels on status.
/api/targets was undocumented and never used and also broken.

Showing instance and job labels on the status page (next to targets)
does not make sense as those labels are set in an obvious way.

Also add a doc comment to TargetStateToClass.
2015-03-18 18:53:43 +01:00
beorn7 be11cb2b07 Remove the sample ingestion channel.
The one central sample ingestion channel has caused a variety of
trouble. This commit removes it. Targets and rule evaluation call an
Append method directly now. To incorporate multiple storage backends
(like OpenTSDB), storage.Tee forks the Append into two different
appenders.

Note that the tsdb queue manager had its own queue anyway. It was a
queue after a queue... Much queue, so overhead...

Targets have their own little buffer (implemented as a channel) to
avoid stalling during an http scrape. But a new scrape will only be
started once the old one is fully ingested.

The contraption of three pipelined ingesters was removed. A Target is
an ingester itself now. Despite more logic in Target, things should be
less confusing now.

Also, remove lint and vet warnings in ast.go.

  settings of an existing one (simplification)

- always wipe and recreate all graph-related DOM elements completely so
  that no left-over event handlers cause background event handlers

Fabian Reinartz fa1e90003b Query timeout added.

the -query.timeout flag. The TotalEvalTimer is now started/stopped
inside any of the ast.Eval* functions.

Julius Volz b3978fe869 Fix Rickshaw/D3 version mismatch.
When Rickshaw was updated to 1.5.1 in
fd43daf82e,
the Rickshaw upstream package now contained 3 different D3 files:

d3.min.js
d3.v2.js
d3.v3.js

For details on why that is, see
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/d3-js/lXQgKA7mtEw

For the 1.5.1 Rickshaw to work properly (being able to format dates with
D3 without causing a JS error), it needs d3.v2.js or d3.v3.js, not the
d3.min.js one. I chose to update us to d3.v3.js now, since that is the
most recent and minified version, and I didn't see any problems with it
(also, the current Rickshaw examples are using that D3 version).

Currently, displaying graphs with a range >14d is broken. This fixes
that.

Bjoern Rabenstein f568bbc19f Improve comments about embedding. 2015-02-02 12:37:39 +01:00
Tobias Schmidt edadba3b25 Merge web/blob/Makefile into web/Makefile
While the recent commit 7e5745f solved the issue of having an
independent blob-stamp file, which was possible to become out of
sync with the necessary web/blob/files.go file, this change further
simplifies the setup by merging the two Makefile.
The only purpose of web/Makefile was to call targets in
web/blob/Makefile. As all dependencies for blob/files.go are
outside of the blob/ directory, the separation isn't logically
necessary.

Julius Volz d4374a9265 More efficient JSON query result format.
This depends on https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/pull/51.

For vectors, the result format looks like this:

```json
{
   "version": 1,
   "type" : "vector",
   "value" : [
      {
         "timestamp" : 1421765411.045,
         "value" : "65.475000",
         "metric" : {
            "quantile" : "0.5",
            "instance" : "http://localhost:9090/metrics",
            "job" : "prometheus",
            "__name__" : "http_request_duration_microseconds",
            "handler" : "/static/",
            "method" : "get",
            "code" : "304"
         }
      },
      {
         "timestamp" : 1421765411.045,
         "value" : "5826.339000",
         "metric" : {
            "quantile" : "0.9",
            "instance" : "http://localhost:9090/metrics",
            "job" : "prometheus",
            "__name__" : "http_request_duration_microseconds",
            "handler" : "prometheus",
            "method" : "get",
            "code" : "200"
         }
      },
      /* ... */
   ]
}
```

For matrices, it looks like this:

```json
{
   "version": 1,
   "type" : "matrix",
   "value" : [
      {
         "metric" : {
            "quantile" : "0.99",
            "instance" : "http://localhost:9090/metrics",
            "job" : "prometheus",
            "__name__" : "http_request_duration_microseconds",
            "handler" : "/static/",
            "method" : "get",
            "code" : "200"
         },
         "values" : [
            [
               1421765547.659,
               "29162.953000"
            ],
            [
               1421765548.659,
               "29162.953000"
            ],
            [
               1421765549.659,
               "29162.953000"
            ],
            /* ... */
         ]
      }
   ]
}
```

Julius Volz 3d47f94149 Drop metric names after transformations.
After many transformations, it doesn't make sense to keep the metric
names, since the result of the transformation is no longer that metric.
This drops the metric name after such transformations and makes the web
UI deal well with missing metric names.

This depends on the current branch on the following things:

- prometheus/client_golang needs to be at
  e237cf15c6
  in branch "julius/int-fingerprints" (to be merged with new storage)

- prometheus/promdash needs to be at

Julius Volz 21cafe6cd7 Only evict memory series after they are on disk.
This fixes the problem where samples become temporarily unavailable for
queries while they are being flushed to disk. Although the entire
flushing code could use some major refactoring, I'm explicitly trying to
do the minimal change to fix the problem since there's a whole new
storage implementation in the pipeline.

Brian Brazil e27447da5c Remove the broken "User Dashboard" link.
Due to the lack of a </a>, this makes the entire header render badly.
Accordingly it's safe to assume noone is using it, so remove it.
With the new console template support, we'll need to something a bit
more nuanced later.

Julius Volz 01f652cb4c Separate storage implementation from interfaces.
This was initially motivated by wanting to distribute the rule checker
tool under `tools/rule_checker`. However, this was not possible without
also distributing the LevelDB dynamic libraries because the tool
transitively depended on Levigo:

rule checker -> query layer -> tiered storage layer -> leveldb

This change separates external storage interfaces from the
implementation (tiered storage, leveldb storage, memory storage) by
putting them into separate packages:

- storage/metric: public, implementation-agnostic interfaces
- storage/metric/tiered: tiered storage implementation, including memory
                         and LevelDB storage.

I initially also considered splitting up the implementation into
separate packages for tiered storage, memory storage, and LevelDB
storage, but these are currently so intertwined that it would be another
major project in itself.

The query layers and most other parts of Prometheus now have notion of
the storage implementation anymore and just use whatever implementation
they get passed in via interfaces.

The rule_checker is now a static binary :)

Matt T. Proud 2064f32662 Clean up quitting behavior and add quit trigger.
The closing of Prometheus now using a sync.Once wrapper to prevent
any accidental multiple invocations of it, which could trigger
corruption or a race condition.  The shutdown process is made more
verbose through logging.

A not-enabled by default web handler has been provided to trigger a
remote shutdown if requested for debugging purposes.

Julius Volz cc04238a85 Switch to new "__name__" metric name label.
This also fixes the compaction test, which before worked only because
the input sample sorting was accidentally equal to the resulting on-disk
sample sorting.

Julius Volz 740d448983 Use custom timestamp type for sample timestamps and related code.
So far we've been using Go's native time.Time for anything related to sample
timestamps. Since the range of time.Time is much bigger than what we need, this
has created two problems:

- there could be time.Time values which were out of the range/precision of the
  time type that we persist to disk, therefore causing incorrectly ordered keys.
  One bug caused by this was:

  https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/367

  It would be good to use a timestamp type that's more closely aligned with
  what the underlying storage supports.

- sizeof(time.Time) is 192, while Prometheus should be ok with a single 64-bit
  Unix timestamp (possibly even a 32-bit one). Since we store samples in large
  numbers, this seriously affects memory usage. Furthermore, copying/working
  with the data will be faster if it's smaller.

*MEMORY USAGE RESULTS*
Initial memory usage comparisons for a running Prometheus with 1 timeseries and
100,000 samples show roughly a 13% decrease in total (VIRT) memory usage. In my
tests, this advantage for some reason decreased a bit the more samples the
timeseries had (to 5-7% for millions of samples). This I can't fully explain,
but perhaps garbage collection issues were involved.

*WHEN TO USE THE NEW TIMESTAMP TYPE*
The new clientmodel.Timestamp type should be used whenever time
calculations are either directly or indirectly related to sample
timestamps.

For example:
- the timestamp of a sample itself
- all kinds of watermarks
- anything that may become or is compared to a sample timestamp (like the timestamp
  passed into Target.Scrape()).

When to still use time.Time:
- for measuring durations/times not related to sample timestamps, like duration
  telemetry exporting, timers that indicate how frequently to execute some
  action, etc.

*NOTE ON OPERATOR OPTIMIZATION TESTS*
We don't use operator optimization code anymore, but it still lives in
the code as dead code. It still has tests, but I couldn't get all of them to
pass with the new timestamp format. I commented out the failing cases for now,
but we should probably remove the dead code soon. I just didn't want to do that
in the same change as this.

Conor Hennessy eba01d1119 Remove usage of gorest.
Due to on going issues, we've decided to remove gorest. It started with gorest
not being thread-safe (it does introspection to create a new handler which is
an easy process to mess up with multiple threads of execution):
    https://code.google.com/p/gorest/issues/detail?id=15
While the issue has been marked fixed, it looks like the patch has introduced
more problems than the original issue and simply doesn't work properly.
I'm not sure the behaviour was thought through properly. If a new instance is
needed every request then a handler-factory is needed or the library needs to
set expectations about how the new objects should interact with their
constructor state.
While it was tempting to try out another routing library, I think for now
it's better to use dumb vanilla Go routing. At least until we decide which
URL format we intend to standardize on.
