Since we are not overestimating the number of chunks to persist
anymore, this commit also adjusts the default value for
-storage.local.memory-chunks. Update of documentation will follow.
"Rushed mode" is formerly known as "degraded mode", which is changed
with this commit, too. The name "degraded" was very misleading.
Also, switch into rushed mode if we have too many chunks in memory and
an at least reasonable amount of chunks to persist so that speeding up
persisting chunks can help.
If only very few chunks are to be truncated from a very large series
file, the rewrite of the file is a lorge overhead. With this change, a
certain ratio of the file has to be dropped to make it happen. While
only causing disk overhead at about the same ratio (by default 10%),
it will cut down I/O by a lot in above scenario.
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.
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.
The test had become flaky with Go1.5.
Theory here is that with Go1.5.x, sleeping for 10ms might not be
enough to wake up another goroutine, possibly because it is used for
GC. 50ms should always be enough due to GC pause guarantees with the
new GC.
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.
If users see the crash recovery error, the chances are
they aren't shutting down Prometheus correctly. Telling
them how to do so will help them debug and fix the problem.
Perhaps it would be even better to still warn in case the sample value has
changed but the timestamps are equal, but we don't have efficient access
to the last value.
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).
For the label matching index-based preselection phase, don't do an OR
between equality and non-equality matchers. Execute only one of the two
(with equality matchers preferred when present).

If all samples in consecutive chunks have the same timestamp, the way
we used to load chunks will fail. With this change, the persist
watermark is used to load the right amount of chunkDescs from disk.
This bug is a possible reason for the rare storage corruption we have
observed.
Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/481
While doing so, clean up and fix a few other things:
- Fix `go vet` warnings (@fabxc to blame ;).
- Fix a racey problem with unarchiving: Whenever we unarchive a
series, we essentially want to do something with it. However, until
we have done something with it, it appears like a series that is
ready to be archived or even purged. So e.g. it would be ignored
during checkpointing. With this fix, we always load the chunkDescs
upon unarchiving. This is wasteful if we only want to add a new
sample to an archived time series, but the (presumably more common)
case where we access an archived time series in a query doesn't
become more expensive.
- The change above streamlined the getOrCreateSeries ond
newMemorySeries flow. Also, the modTime is now always set correctly.
- Fix the leveldb-backed implementation of KeyValueStore.Delete. It
had the wrong behavior of still returning true, nil if a
non-existing key has been passed in.
See https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/887, which will at
least be partially fixed by this.
From the spec https://golang.org/ref/spec#Conversions:
"In all non-constant conversions involving floating-point or complex
values, if the result type cannot represent the value the conversion
succeeds but the result value is implementation-dependent."
This ended up setting the converted values to 0 on Debian's Go 1.4.2
compiler, at least on 32-bit Debians.
