The fuzzy library didn't try to find a "best match", but settled on the
first fuzzy match that exists. This patch includes a modified version of
the fuzzy library, which recursivley tries on the rest of the search
string to find a better match. If found, returns that one.
Another small modification is that if a pattern fully matches, it
skips the lookup entirley and returns the highest score possible for
that match.
For some of the queries, the fuzzy lookup was not filtering properly.
The problem is due to the "replace" beind made on the query itself. It
accidently removes only the first underscore. This patch changes it so
that it removes all of the whitespaces, letting the fuzzy algorithm do
its magic, also fixing this problem.
Originally, the underscore were replaced by a space for this specific
reason, to let the user type a space and have the lookup treat it as the
word break.
Fixes#2380
The append call may reuse cds, and thus change its len.
(In practice, this wouldn't happen as cds should have len==cap.
Still, the previous order of lines was problematic.)
In preparation for removing specific remote storage implementations,
this offers an example of how to achieve the same in a separate process.
Rather than having three separate bridges for OpenTSDB, InfluxDB, and
Graphite, I decided to support all in one binary.
For now, this is in the example documenation directory, but perhaps we
will want to make a first-class project / repository out of it.
This decreases checkpoint size by not checkpointing things
that don't actually need checkpointing.
This is fully compatible with the v2 checkpoint format,
as it makes series appear as though the only chunksdescs
in memory are those that need persisting.
With this change the scraping caches series references and only
allocates label sets if it has to retrieve a new reference.
pkg/textparse is used to do the conditional parsing and reduce
allocations from 900B/sample to 0 in the general case.
The current description does not accurately describe when the metric is incremented.
Aside from Alertmanger missing from the configuration, `prometheus_notifications_dropped_total` is incremented when errors occur while sending alert notifications to Alertmanager, or because the notifications queue is full, or because the number of notifications to be sent exceeds the queue capacity.
I think calling these cases 'errors' in a generic sense is more useful than the current description.
