This adds a parameter to the storage selection interface which allows
query engine(s) to pass information about the operations surrounding a
data selection.
This can for example be used by remote storage backends to infer the
correct downsampling aggregates that need to be provided.
* Use testutil in rules subpackage

* Use testutil in rules subpackage
* Fix manager test

* Change to testutil for applyConfig tests
* Re-add contexts to storage.Storage.Querier()
These are needed when replacing the storage by a multi-tenant
implementation where the tenant is stored in the context.
The 1.x query interfaces already had contexts, but they got lost in 2.x.
* Convert promql.Engine to use native contexts
Clicking on a rule, either the name or the expression, opens the rule
result (or the corresponding expression, repsectively) in the
expression browser. This should by default happen in the console tab,
as, more often than not, displaying it in the graph tab runs into a
timeout.

Usually rules don't more around, and if they do it's likely
that rules/alerts with the same name stay in the same order.
If rules/alerts with the same name are added/removed this
could cause a blip for one cycle, but this is unavoidable
without requiring rule and alert names to be unique - which we don't
want to do.
In case the execution of all rules takes longer than the configured rule
evaluation interval, one or more iterations will be skipped. This needs
to be visible to the opterator.
This is based on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/1997.
This adds contexts to the relevant Storage methods and already passes
PromQL's new per-query context into the storage's query methods.
The immediate motivation supporting multi-tenancy in Frankenstein, but
this could also be used by Prometheus's normal local storage to support
cancellations and timeouts at some point.
For Weaveworks' Frankenstein, we need to support multitenancy. In
Frankenstein, we initially solved this without modifying the promql
package at all: we constructed a new promql.Engine for every
query and injected a storage implementation into that engine which would
be primed to only collect data for a given user.
This is problematic to upstream, however. Prometheus assumes that there
is only one engine: the query concurrency gate is part of the engine,
and the engine contains one central cancellable context to shut down all
queries. Also, creating a new engine for every query seems like overkill.
Thus, we want to be able to pass per-query contexts into a single engine.
This change gets rid of the promql.Engine's built-in base context and
allows passing in a per-query context instead. Central cancellation of
all queries is still possible by deriving all passed-in contexts from
one central one, but this is now the responsibility of the caller. The
central query context is now created in main() and passed into the
relevant components (web handler / API, rule manager).
In a next step, the per-query context would have to be passed to the
storage implementation, so that the storage can implement multi-tenancy
or other features based on the contextual information.
These tests have been added after the /graph changes and therefore
already test the new syntax.
This commit has to be reverted together with the previous one to get
back to the old new state. *sigh*
So far, out-of-order samples during rule evaluation were not logged,
and neither scrape health samples. The latter are unlikely to cause
any errors. That's why I'm logging them always now. (It's alway highly
irregular should it happen.) For rules, I have used the same plumbing
as for samples, just with a different wording in the message to mark
them as a result of rule evaluation.
The chunk encoding was hardcoded there because it mostly doesn't
matter what encoding is chosen in that test. Since type 1 is
battle-hardened enough, I'm switching to type 2 here so that we can
catch unexpected problems as a byproduct. My expectation is that the
chunk encoding doesn't matter anyway, as said, but then "unexpected
problems" contains the word "unexpected".
This considers static labels in the equality of alerts to
avoid falsely copying state from a different alert definition with
the same name across reloads.
To be safe, it also copies the state map rather than just its pointer
so that remaining collisions disappear after one evaluation interval.
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.
It's actually happening in several places (and for flags, we use the
standard Go time.Duration...). This at least reduces all our
home-grown parsing to one place (in model).
When an evaluation group runs initially, it waits a deterministic
amount of time. During that time it also has to accept
a termination singnal so shutdown doesn't hang during the first
evaluation iteration after a configuration reload.
Fixes#1307
This is with `golint -min_confidence=0.5`.
I left several lint warnings untouched because they were either
incorrect or I felt it was better not to change them at the moment.
This moves the concern of resolving the files relative to the config
file into the configuration loading itself.
It also fixes#921 which did not load the cert and token files relatively.
Besides fixing https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/805 by
making the entire externally reachable server URL configurable, this
adds tests for the "globalURL" template function and makes it easier to
test other such functions in the future.
This breaks the `web.Hostname` flag (and introduces `web.external-url`).
This flag is likely only used by few users, so I hope that's
justifiable.

Changes to the UI:
- "Active Since" timestamps are now human-readable.
- Alerting rules are now pretty-printed better.
- Labels are no longer just strings, but alert bubbles (like we do on
the status page for base labels).
- Alert states and target health states are now capitalized in the
presentation layer rather than at the source.
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*().
With this commit, sending SIGHUP to the Prometheus process will reload
and apply the configuration file. The different components attempt
to handle failing changes gracefully.
This commits renames the RuleManager to Manager as the package
name is 'rules' now. The unused layer of abstraction of the
RuleManager interface is removed.
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.
Unary expressions cause parsing errors if they are done in the lexer
by tokenizing them into the number.
This fix moves unary expressions to the parser.
This commits implements the OR operation between two vectors.
Vector matching using the ON clause is added to limit the set of
labels that define a match between two elements. Group modifiers
(GROUP_LEFT/GROUP_RIGHT) to request many-to-one matching are added.
This adds support for scientific notation in the expression language, as
well as for all possible literal forms of +Inf/-Inf/NaN.
TODO: Keep enough state in the parser/lexer to distinguish contexts in
which "Inf", "NaN", etc. should be parsed as a number vs. parsed as a
label name. Currently, foo{nan="bar"} would be a syntax error. However,
that is an existing bug for all our reserved words. E.g. foo{sum="bar"}
is a syntax error as well. This should be fixed separately.
Since we are now getting really deep into floating point calculation,
the tests had to take into account the precision loss. Since the rule
tests are based on direct line matching in the output, implementing
the "almost equal" semantics was pretty cumbersome, but here we are.
This allows changing the time offset for individual instant and range
vectors in a query.
For example, this returns the value of `foo` 5 minutes in the past
relative to the current query evaluation time:
foo offset 5m
Note that the `offset` modifier always needs to follow the selector
immediately. I.e. the following would be correct:
sum(foo offset 5m) // GOOD.
While the following would be *incorrect*:
sum(foo) offset 5m // INVALID.
The same works for range vectors. This returns the 5-minutes-rate that
`foo` had a week ago:
rate(foo[5m] offset 1w)
This change touches the following components:
* Lexer/parser: additions to correctly parse the new `offset`/`OFFSET`
keyword.
* AST: vector and matrix nodes now have an additional `offset` field.
This is used during their evaluation to adjust query and result times
appropriately.
* Query analyzer: now works on separate sets of ranges and instants per
offset. Isolating different offsets from each other completely in this
way keeps the preloading code relatively simple.
No storage engine changes were needed by this change.
The rules tests have been changed to not probe the internal
implementation details of the query analyzer anymore (how many instants
and ranges have been preloaded). This would also become too cumbersome
to test with the new model, and measuring the result of the query should
be sufficient.
This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/529
This fixed https://github.com/prometheus/promdash/issues/201
This is related to #454. Queries now timeout after a duration set by
the -query.timeout flag. The TotalEvalTimer is now started/stopped
inside any of the ast.Eval* functions.
The 2nd isCounter argument to delta is ugly, make it optional as the first step
of deprecating it. This will makes delta only ever applied to gauges.
Add a deriv function to calculate the least squares
slope of a gauge. This is more useful for prediction than delta,
as it isn't as heavily influenced by outliers at the boundaries.
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
It turned out in the end, that only drop_common_metrics() produced any
erroneous output in the old system. The second expression in the test
("sum(testmetric) keeping_extra") already worked in the old code, but
why not keep it in...
The way to test ranged evaluations is a bit clumsy so far, so I want to
build a nicer test framework in the end, where all the test cases can be
specified as text files which specify desired inputs, outputs, query
step widths, etc.

A common problem in Prometheus alerting is to detect when no timeseries
exist for a given metric name and label combination. Unfortunately,
Prometheus alert expressions need to be of vector type, and
"count(nonexistent_metric)" results in an empty vector, yielding no
output vector elements to base an alert on. The newly introduced
absent() function solves this issue:
ALERT FooAbsent IF absent(foo{job="myjob"}) [...]
absent() has the following behavior:
- if the vector passed to it has any elements, it returns an empty
vector.
- if the vector passed to it has no elements, it returns a 1-element
vector with the value 1.
In the second case, absent() tries to be smart about deriving labels of
the 1-element output vector from the input vector:
absent(nonexistent{job="myjob"}) => {job="myjob"}
absent(nonexistent{job="myjob",instance=~".*"}) => {job="myjob"}
absent(sum(nonexistent{job="myjob"})) => {}
That is, if the passed vector is a literal vector selector, it takes all
"=" label matchers as the basis for the output labels, but ignores all
non-equals or regex matchers. Also, if the passed vector results from a
non-selector expression, no labels can be derived.

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

In addition to the existing by-clause syntax:
sum(<expression>) by (<labels>) [keeping_extra]
...this allows the following new syntax:
sum by (<labels>) [keeping_extra] (<expression>)
Both orderings may be used in a single expression. It is up to the users
to establish guidelines around their usage.

This allows the following expression syntaxes for selecting timeseries:
foo (already valid before)
foo{} (already valid before)
{job="prometheus"} (new, select all timeseries for job "prometheus")
Omitting both the metric name *and* any label matchers ("" or "{}") will
still yield a syntax error.
To get all timeseries, you could do:
{__name__=~".*"}
or, without relying on knowledge about __metric__:
{job=~".*"}

To achieve O(log n * k) runtime, this uses a heap to track the current
bottom-k or top-k elements while iterating over the full set of
available elements.
It would be possible to reuse more code between topk and bottomk, but I
decided for some more duplication for the sake of clarity.

- 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.
