Allows to use graphite over tcp or udp. Metrics labels
and values are used to construct a valid Graphite path
in a way that will allow us to eventually read them back
and reconstruct the metrics.
For example, this metric:
model.Metric{
model.MetricNameLabel: "test:metric",
"testlabel": "test:value",
"testlabel2": "test:value",
)
Will become:
test:metric.testlabel=test:value.testlabel2=test:value
escape.go takes care of escaping values to match Graphite
character set, it basically uses percent-encoding as a fallback
wich will work pretty will in the graphite/grafana world.
The remote storage module also has an optional 'prefix' parameter
to prefix all metrics with a path (for example, 'prometheus.').
Graphite URLs are simply in the form tcp://host:port or
udp://host:port.
For the SNMP and blackbox exporters where
the ports tends to not be 80/443 and indeed
there may not be a port this makes the relabelling
a bit simpler as you don't have to figure out this
logic exists and strip off the :80.
This is a breaking change for the example configs of
those exporters.
With the blackbox exporter, the instance label will commonly
be used for things other than hostnames so remove this restriction.
https://example.com or https://example.com/probe/me are some examples.
To prevent user error, check that urls aren't provided as targets
when there's no relabelling that could potentically fix them.
1. static credentials replaced with defaults.DefaultChainCredentials.
This change ensures that credentials are sourced form all possible
providers available with the aws sdk, in the following order:
env variables, shared awsconfig file in user folder, ec2 instance role.
2. Added a few labels: AvailabilityZone, PublicDns, VpcId (if
available), SubnetId (if in Vpc)
This enables metric name autocompletion for every word in an expression,
not just the very first one. It would be great to also support all
language keywords during autocompletion in the future.
This change is breaking, use the 'bool' modifier for such comprisons.
After this change all comparisons without 'bool' will filter, and all
comparisons with 'bool' will return 0/1. This makes the language more
consistent and orthogonal, and ultimately easier to learn and use.
If we ever figure out sane semantics for filtering scalar/scalar
comparisons we can add them in, which will most likely come out of how
the new vector() function is used.
