This adds timers around several query-relevant code blocks. For now, the
query timer stats are only logged for queries initiated through the UI.
In other cases (rule evaluations), the stats are simply thrown away.
My hope is that this helps us understand where queries spend time,
especially in cases where they sometimes hang for unusual amounts of
time.
Go's time.Time represents time as UTC in its fundamental data type.
That said, when using ``time.Unix(...)``, it sets the zone for the
time representation to the local. Unfortunately with diagnosis and
our tests, it is a PITA to jump between various zones, even though
the serialized version remains the same.
To keep things easy, all places where times are generated or read
are converted into UTC. These conversions are cheap, for
``Time.In`` merely changes a pointer reference in the struct,
nothing more. This enables me to diagnose test failures with fixture
data very easily.
By setting Access-Control headers, the Prometheus metrics API can be
accessed by cross-origin javascript applications (e.g., an external
dashboard pulling Prometheus metrics).
This roughly comprises the following changes:
- index target pools by job instead of scrape interval
- make targets within a pool exchangable while preserving existing
health state for targets
- allow exchanging targets via HTTP API (PUT)
- show target lists in /status (experimental, for own debug use)
