The main idea is that the user of a storage shouldn't have to deal with
fingerprints anymore, and should not need to do an individual preload
call for each metric. The storage interface needs to be made more
high-level to not expose these details.
This also makes it easier to reuse the same storage interface for remote
storages later, as fewer roundtrips are required and the fingerprint
concept doesn't work well across the network.
NOTE: this deliberately gets rid of a small optimization in the old
query Analyzer, where we dedupe instants and ranges for the same series.
This should have a minor impact, as most queries do not have multiple
selectors loading the same series (and at the same offset).
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.
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.
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".
WIP: This needs more tests.
It now gets a from and through value, which it may opportunistically
use to optimize the retrieval. With possible future range indices,
this could be used in a very efficient way. This change merely applies
some easy checks, which should nevertheless solve the use case of
heavy rule evaluations on servers with a lot of series churn.
Idea is the following:
- Only archive series that are at least as old as the headChunkTimeout
(which was already extremely unlikely to happen).
- Then maintain a high watermark for the last archival, i.e. no
archived series has a sample more recent than that watermark.
- Any query that doesn't reach to a time before that watermark doesn't
have to touch the archive index at all. (A production server at
Soundcloud with the aforementioned series churn and heavy rule
evaluations spends 50% of its CPU time in archive index
lookups. Since rule evaluations usually only touch very recent
values, most of those lookup should disappear with this change.)
- Federation with a very broad label matcher will profit from this,
too.
As a byproduct, the un-needed MetricForFingerprint method was removed
from the Storage interface.
This commit simplifies the TargetHealth type and moves the target
status into the target itself. This also removes a race where error
and last scrape time could have been out of sync.
Formalize ZeroSamplePair as return value for non-existing samples.
Change LastSamplePairForFingerprint to return a SamplePair (and not a
pointer to it), which saves allocations in a potentially extremely
frequent call.
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).
This enables metric name autocompletion for every word in an expression,
not just the very first one. It would be great to also support all
language keywords during autocompletion in the future.
This adapts some functionality from the Go standard library for string
literal lexing and unquoting/unescaping.
The following string types are now supported:
Double- or single-quoted strings:
These support all escape sequences that Go supports in double-quoted
string literals. The difference is that Prometheus also has
single-quoted strings (instead of single-quoted runes in Go). Raw
newlines are not allowed.
Backtick-quoted raw strings:
Strings quoted in backticks are treated as raw strings just like in Go
and may contain raw newlines and other special characters directly.

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.
Let's remove the silencing links until we actually have support for that.
A silencing link shouldn't only redirect to Alertmanager, but also open a
silencing dialog for the respective alert name or active alert element.
This got broken in
78047326b4
since it stopped using the DefaultServeMux.
This approach will defer pprof requests to the DefaultServeMux, which
may or may not have pprof enabled (in Prometheus, it gets it included in
main.go). An alternative approach would be to duplicate the four lines in
https://golang.org/src/net/http/pprof/pprof.go#L62. When choosing that
approach though, we would not automatically gain any new endpoints added
by net/http/pprof or other /debug endpoints in the future.
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.

Also remove hidden input fields that are not used anymore, because the
query params are now passed as JSON to the AJAX function. This also has
the wonderful side effect that we're no longer sending all the other
non-hidden fields along to the query endpoints anymore.
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 commit adds a federation handler on /federate. It accepts `match[]`
query parameters containing vector selectors. Their intersection determines
the in-memory metrics that are returned in the same way as the
/metrics endpoint does (modulo sorting).
Version information is determined at build-time and thus there is
no need to pass it down from main. In its own package it can
be used from various other packages.
Also, rearrange and clean up some things to make this work.
The textarea starts as a single line, but auto-expands when entering
multiple lines (e.g. via Shift+Enter). Pressing just "Enter" still
executes the expression.
Main changes:
- Switched to using `go-bindata` in place of `scripts/embed-static.sh`.
- Support for building Prometheus without a `Makefile`.
- Minor typo fix to make Prometheus build on Windows (without Makefiles).
Please note that this does not mean that prometheus will work on Windows.
There are still failing tests!
Figuring out what's going on with the new service discovery
and labels is difficult. Add a popover with the labels
to the target table to make things simpler, and help
discovery of potentially useful labels.
