Jonathan Boulle 38098f8c95 Add missing license headers
Prometheus is Apache 2 licensed, and most source files have the
appropriate copyright license header, but some were missing it without
apparent reason. Correct that by adding it.

beorn7 ec08c9a391 Rework the way to communicate backpressure (AKA suspended ingestion)
This gives up on the idea to communicate throuh the Append() call (by
either not returning as it is now or returning an error as
suggested/explored elsewhere). Here I have added a Throttled() call,
which has the advantage that it can be called before a whole _batch_
of Append()'s. Scrapes will happen completely or not at all. Same for
rule group evaluations. That's a highly desired behavior (as discussed
elsewhere). The code is even simpler now as the whole ingestion buffer
could be removed.

Logging of throttled mode has been streamlined and will create at most
one message per minute.

Corentin Chary 7b6c3e556c Use '.' instead of '=' to separate labels from their values in Graphite
Using .label=value. was weird to use in Graphite and didn't bring much value.

Corentin Chary a2e4439086 Add support for remote storage on Graphite
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.

Julius Volz eeb1da36ac Fix InfluxDB write support to work with InfluxDB 0.9.x.
Because the InfluxDB client library currently pulls in multiple MBs of
unnecessary dependencies, I have modified and cut up the vendored
version to only pull in the few pieces that are actually needed.

On InfluxDB's side, this dependency issue is tracked in:

https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/issues/3447

Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

If a password is needed for InfluxDB, it may be supplied via the
INFLUXDB_PW environment variable.

Will Rouesnel 7810448dbe Add proxy_url parameter to allow specifying per-job HTTP proxy servers
Allow scrape_configs to have an optional proxy_url option which specifies
a proxy to be used for all connections to hosts in that config.

Internally this modifies the various client functions to take a *url.URL pointer
which currently must point to an HTTP proxy (but has been left open-ended to
allow the url format to be extended to support others, such as maybe SOCKS if
needed).

Julius Volz 267fd34156 Switch Prometheus to use github.com/prometheus/log.
This change is conceptually very simple, although the diff is large. It
switches logging from "github.com/golang/glog" to
"github.com/prometheus/log", while not actually changing any log
messages. V(1)-style logging has been changed to be log.Debug*().

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.

Bjoern Rabenstein 1909686789 Make metrics exported by the Prometheus server itself more consistent.
- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).

- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.

- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.

- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
  These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
  during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
  the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
  capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
  only set once.)

- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
  metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
  a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
  it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
  but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)

- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
  same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
  it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
  parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
  principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
  things consistently everywhere.

Bjoern Rabenstein 6bc083f38b Major code cleanup in storage.
- Mostly docstring fixed/additions.
  (Please review these carefully, since most of them were missing, I
  had to guess them from an outsider's perspective. (Which on the
  other hand proves how desperately required many of these docstrings
  are.))

- Removed all uses of new(...) to meet our own style guide (draft).

- Fixed all other 'go vet' and 'golint' issues (except those that are
  not fixable (i.e. caused by bugs in or by design of 'go vet' and
  'golint')).

- Some trivial refactorings, like reorder functions, minor renames, ...

- Some slightly less trivial refactoring, mostly to reduce code
  duplication by embedding types instead of writing many explicit
  forwarders.

- Cleaned up the interface structure a bit. (Most significant probably
  the removal of the View-like methods from MetricPersistenc. Now they
  are only in View and not duplicated anymore.)

- Removed dead code. (Probably not all of it, but it's a first
  step...)

- Fixed a leftover in storage/metric/end_to_end_test.go (that made
  some parts of the code never execute (incidentally, those parts
  were broken (and I fixed them, too))).

Julius Volz 61d26e8445 Add optional sample replication to OpenTSDB.
Prometheus needs long-term storage. Since we don't have enough resources
to build our own timeseries storage from scratch ontop of Riak,
Cassandra or a similar distributed datastore at the moment, we're
planning on using OpenTSDB as long-term storage for Prometheus. It's
data model is roughly compatible with that of Prometheus, with some
caveats.

As a first step, this adds write-only replication from Prometheus to
OpenTSDB, with the following things worth noting:

1)
I tried to keep the integration lightweight, meaning that anything
related to OpenTSDB is isolated to its own package and only main knows
about it (essentially it tees all samples to both the existing storage
and TSDB). It's not touching the existing TieredStorage at all to avoid
more complexity in that area. This might change in the future,
especially if we decide to implement a read path for OpenTSDB through
Prometheus as well.

2)
Backpressure while sending to OpenTSDB is handled by simply dropping
samples on the floor when the in-memory queue of samples destined for
OpenTSDB runs full.  Prometheus also only attempts to send samples once,
rather than implementing a complex retry algorithm. Thus, replication to
OpenTSDB is best-effort for now.  If needed, this may be extended in the
future.

3)
Samples are sent in batches of limited size to OpenTSDB. The optimal
batch size, timeout parameters, etc. may need to be adjusted in the
future.

4)
OpenTSDB has different rules for legal characters in tag (label) values.
While Prometheus allows any characters in label values, OpenTSDB limits
them to a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9, -, _, . and /. Currently any illegal
characters in Prometheus label values are simply replaced by an
underscore. Especially when integrating OpenTSDB with the read path in
Prometheus, we'll need to reconsider this: either we'll need to
introduce the same limitations for Prometheus labels or escape/encode
illegal characters in OpenTSDB in such a way that they are fully
decodable again when reading through Prometheus, so that corresponding
timeseries in both systems match in their labelsets.
