Options added:
1) active.queries.filepath: Filename where queries will be recorded
2) active.queries.filesize: Size of the file where queries will be recorded.
Functionality added:
All active queries are now logged in a file. If prometheus crashes unexpectedly, these queries are also printed out on stdout in the rerun.
Queries are written concurrently to an mmaped file, and removed once they are done. Their positions in the file are reused. They are written in json format. However, due to dynamic nature of application, the json has an extra comma after the last query, and is missing an ending ']'. There may also null bytes in the tail of file.

This change switches the remote_write API to use the TSDB WAL. This should reduce memory usage and prevent sample loss when the remote end point is down.
We use the new LiveReader from TSDB to tail WAL segments. Logic for finding the tracking segment is included in this PR. The WAL is tailed once for each remote_write endpoint specified. Reading from the segment is based on a ticker rather than relying on fsnotify write events, which were found to be complicated and unreliable in early prototypes.
Enqueuing a sample for sending via remote_write can now block, to provide back pressure. Queues are still required to acheive parallelism and batching. We have updated the queue config based on new defaults for queue capacity and pending samples values - much smaller values are now possible. The remote_write resharding code has been updated to prevent deadlocks, and extra tests have been added for these cases.
As part of this change, we attempt to guarantee that samples are not lost; however this initial version doesn't guarantee this across Prometheus restarts or non-retryable errors from the remote end (eg 400s).
This changes also includes the following optimisations:
- only marshal the proto request once, not once per retry
- maintain a single copy of the labels for given series to reduce GC pressure
Other minor tweaks:
- only reshard if we've also successfully sent recently
- add pending samples, latest sent timestamp, WAL events processed metrics

Add WALSegmentSize as an option, and the corresponding flag "storage.tsdb.wal-segment-size" to tune the max size of wal segment files.
The addressed base problem is to reduce the disk space used by wal segment files : on a raspberry pi, for instance, we often want to reduce write load of the sd card, then, the wal directory is mounted on a memory (space limited) partition.
the default value of the segment max file size, pushed the size of directory to 128 MB for each segment , which is too much ram consumption on a rasp.

Users are starting to use these mistakenly thinking they'll help

Thus hide them and make it clear that they're only there for testing
reasons.
Currently all read queries are simply pushed to remote read clients.
This is fine, except for remote storage for wich it unefficient and
make query slower even if remote read is unnecessary.
So we need instead to compare the oldest timestamp in primary/local
storage with the query range lower boundary. If the oldest timestamp
is older than the mint parameter, then there is no need for remote read.
This is an optionnal behavior per remote read client.

Instead or only printing the help message, which is not always helpful.
For example, when upgrading from prometheus v1, the retention time value
format has changed and now only accepts one unit (e.g. "15d") where it
previously allowed more complex strings (e.g. "360h0m0s").
This commit provides the error message as an explanation for the parsing
failure.
The usage of govalidator is redundant with the call to url.Parse for
url validation. Removing it has the following benefits:
- The explicit error message is displayed instead of just a generic
valid/invalid message
- Slightly smaller code with one fewer external dependency
- Speed improvement by removing duplicate call to url.Parse (inside
govalidator.IsURL()
- Resolves issue #2717
The only potential drawback of removing govalidator is that certain
URLs will be considered valid which were previously invalid. For example:
- URLs with hostnames that start and/or end with an underscore (http://_example.com_)
- URLs with hostnames that contain some special characters (http://foo&*bar.org)
These are valid URIs according to RFC 3986 and valid domain names per RFC 2181,
however they are not valid hostnames per RFC 952.
Whenever a route prefix is applied, the router prepends the prefix to
the URL path on the request. For most handlers, this is not an issue
because the request's path is only used for routing and is not actually
needed by the handler itself. However, Prometheus delegates the handling
of the /debug/* endpoints to the http.DefaultServeMux which has it's own
routing logic that depends on the url.Path. As a result, whenever a
prefix is applied, the prefixed URL is passed to the DefaultServeMux
which has no awareness of the prefix and returns a 404.
This change fixes the issue by creating a new serveDebug handler which
routes requests /debug/* requests to appropriate net/http/pprof handler
and removing the net/http/pprof import in cmd/prometheus since it is no
longer necessary.
Fixes#2183.

This is a fairly easy attempt to dynamically evict chunks based on the
heap size. A target heap size has to be set as a command line flage,
so that users can essentially say "utilize 4GiB of RAM, and please
don't OOM".
The -storage.local.max-chunks-to-persist and
-storage.local.memory-chunks flags are deprecated by this
change. Backwards compatibility is provided by ignoring
-storage.local.max-chunks-to-persist and use
-storage.local.memory-chunks to set the new
-storage.local.target-heap-size to a reasonable (and conservative)
value (both with a warning).
This also makes the metrics intstrumentation more consistent (in
naming and implementation) and cleans up a few quirks in the tests.
Answers to anticipated comments:
There is a chance that Go 1.9 will allow programs better control over
the Go memory management. I don't expect those changes to be in
contradiction with the approach here, but I do expect them to
complement them and allow them to be more precise and controlled. In
any case, once those Go changes are available, this code has to be
revisted.
One might be tempted to let the user specify an estimated value for
the RSS usage, and then internall set a target heap size of a certain
fraction of that. (In my experience, 2/3 is a fairly safe bet.)
However, investigations have shown that RSS size and its relation to
the heap size is really really complicated. It depends on so many
factors that I wouldn't even start listing them in a commit
description. It depends on many circumstances and not at least on the
risk trade-off of each individual user between RAM utilization and
probability of OOMing during a RAM usage peak. To not add even more to
the confusion, we need to stick to the well-defined number we also use
in the targeting here, the sum of the sizes of heap objects.
Currently, if a series stops to exist, its head chunk will be kept
open for an hour. That prevents it from being persisted. Which
prevents it from being evicted. Which prevents the series from being
archived.
Most of the time, once no sample has been added to a series within the
staleness limit, we can be pretty confident that this series will not
receive samples anymore. The whole chain as described above can be
started after 5m instead of 1h. In the relaxed case, this doesn't
change a lot as the head chunk timeout is only checked during series
maintenance, and usually, a series is only maintained every six
hours. However, there is the typical scenario where a large service is
deployed, the deoply turns out to be bad, and then it is deployed
again within minutes, and quite quickly the number of time series has
tripled. That's the point where the Prometheus server is stressed and
switches (rightfully) into rushed mode. In that mode, time series are
processed as quickly as possible, but all of that is in vein if all of
those recently ended time series cannot be persisted yet for another
hour. In that scenario, this change will help most, and it's exactly
the scenario where help is most desperately needed.
Rationale: The default value for GOGC is 100, i.e. a garbage collected
is initialized once as many heap space has been allocated as was in
use after the last GC was done. This ratio doesn't make a lot of sense
in Prometheus, as typically about 60% of the heap is allocated for
long-lived memory chunks (most of which are around for many hours if
not days). Thus, short-lived heap objects are accumulated for quite
some time until they finally match the large amount of memory used by
bulk memory chunks and a gigantic GC cyle is invoked. With GOGC=40, we
are essentially reinstating "normal" GC behavior by acknowledging that
about 60% of the heap are used for long-term bulk storage.
The median Prometheus production server at SoundCloud runs a GC cycle
every 90 seconds. With GOGC=40, a GC cycle is run every 35 seconds
(which is still not very often). However, the effective RAM usage is
now reduced by about 30%. If settings are updated to utilize more RAM,
the time between GC cycles goes up again (as the heap size is larger
with more long-lived memory chunks, but the frequency of creating
short-lived heap objects does not change). On a quite busy large
Prometheus server, the timing changed from one GC run every 20s to one
GC run every 12s.
In the former case (just changing GOGC, leave everything else as it
is), the CPU usage increases by about 10% (on a mid-size referenc
server from 8.1 to 8.9). If settings are adjusted, the CPU
consumptions increases more drastically (from 8 cores to 13 cores on a
large reference server), despite GCs happening more rarely, presumably
because a 50% larger set of memory chunks is managed now. Having more
memory chunks is good in many regards, and most servers are running
out of memory long before they run out of CPU cycles, so the tradeoff
is overwhelmingly positive in most cases.
Power users can still set the GOGC environment variable as usual, as
the implementation in this commit honors an explicitly set variable.
This removes legacy support for specific remote storage systems in favor
of only offering the generic remote write protocol. An example bridge
application that translates from the generic protocol to each of those
legacy backends is still provided at:
documentation/examples/remote_storage/remote_storage_bridge
See also https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/10
The next step in the plan is to re-add support for multiple remote
storages.
This is a followup to https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/2011.
This publishes more of the methods and other names of the chunk code and
moves the chunk code to its own package. There's some unavoidable
ugliness: the chunk and chunkDesc metrics are used by both packages, so
I had to move them to the chunk package. That isn't great, but I don't
see how to do it better without a larger redesign of everything. Same
for the evict requests and some other types.

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.
My aim is to support the new grpc generic write path in Frankenstein. On the surface this seems easy - however I've hit a number of problems that make me think it might be better to not use grpc just yet.
The explanation of the problems requires a little background. At weave, traffic to frankenstein need to go through a couple of services first, for SSL and to be authenticated. So traffic goes:
internet -> frontend -> authfe -> frankenstein
- The frontend is Nginx, and adds/removes SSL. Its done this way for legacy reasons, so the certs can be managed in one place, although eventually we imagine we'll merge it with authfe. All traffic from frontend is sent to authfe.
- Authfe checks the auth tokens / cookie etc and then picks the service to forward the RPC to.
- Frankenstein accepts the reads and does the right thing with them.
First problem I hit was Nginx won't proxy http2 requests - it can accept them, but all calls downstream are http1 (see https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/923). This wasn't such a big deal, so it now looks like:
internet --(grpc/http2)--> frontend --(grpc/http1)--> authfe --(grpc/http1)--> frankenstein
Next problem was golang grpc server won't accept http1 requests (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/grpc-io/JnjCYGPMUms). It is possible to link a grpc server in with a normal go http mux, as long as the mux server is serving over SSL, as the golang http client & server won't do http2 over anything other than an SSL connection. This would require making all our service to service comms SSL. So I had a go a writing a grpc http1 server, and got pretty far. But is was a bit of a mess.
So finally I thought I'd make a separate grpc frontend for this, running in parallel with the frontend/authfe combo on a different port - and first up I'd need a grpc reverse proxy. Ideally we'd have some nice, generic reverse proxy that only knew about a map from service names -> downstream service, and didn't need to decode & re-encode every request as it went through. It seems like this can't be done with golang's grpc library - see https://github.com/mwitkow/grpc-proxy/issues/1.
And then I was surprised to find you can't do grpc from browsers! See http://www.grpc.io/faq/ - not important to us, but I'm starting to question why we decided to use grpc in the first place?
It would seem we could have most of the benefits of grpc with protos over HTTP, and this wouldn't preclude moving to grpc when its a bit more mature? In fact, the grcp FAQ even admits as much:
> Why is gRPC better than any binary blob over HTTP/2?
> This is largely what gRPC is on the wire.
This adds a flag -storage.local.engine which allows turning off local
storage in Prometheus. Instead of adding if-conditions and nil checks to
all parts of Prometheus that deal with Prometheus's local storage
(including the web interface), disabling local storage simply means
replacing the normal local storage with a noop version that throws
samples away and returns empty query results. We also don't add the noop
storage to the fanout appender to decrease internal overhead.
Instead of returning empty results, an alternate behavior could be to
return errors on any query that point out that the local storage is
disabled. Not sure which one is more preferable, so I went with the
empty result option for now.
- fold metric name into labels
- return initialization errors back to main
- add snappy compression
- better context handling
- pre-allocation of labels
- remove generic naming
- other cleanups
This uses a new proto format, with scope for multiple samples per
timeseries in future. This will allow users to pump samples out to
whatever they like without having to change the core Prometheus code.
There's also an example receiver to save users figuring out the
boilerplate themselves.
In https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/1782 , we moved to a
custom flag set to avoid getting test flags into the main prometheus
binary. However, that removed the logging flags, too. This commit
updates the vendoring to a version of the log package that allows
adding the log flags to our flag set explicitly.
This commit extends the notifier to dispatch alert batches
to multiple Alertmanagers concurrently.
It changes the `-alertmanager.url` flag to accept a comma
separated list of URLs and/or to be set multiple times.
With a lot of series accessed in a short timeframe (by a query, a
large scrape, checkpointing, ...), there is actually quite a
significant amount of lock contention if something similar is running
at the same time.
In those cases, the number of locks needs to be increased.
On the same front, as our fingerprints don't have a lot of entropy, I
introduced some additional shuffling. With the current state, anly
changes in the least singificant bits of a FP would matter.
I got feedback from different sources about rules and targets being
too heavy in the status tab if their are lots of them.
This change also allows for more fine-granular locking.
This is not a verbatim implementation of the Gorilla encoding. First
of all, it could not, even if we wanted, because Prometheus has a
different chunking model (constant size, not constant time). Second,
this adds a number of changes that improve the encoding in general or
at least for the specific use case of Prometheus (and are partially
only possible in the context of Prometheus). See comments in the code
for details.
I needed this today for debugging. It can certainly be improved, but
it's already quite helpful.
I refactored the reading of heads.db files out of persistence, which
is an improvement, too.
I made minor changes to the cli package to allow outputting via the
io.Writer interface.
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.
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.
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.
