The React app's assets are now served under /assets, while all old
custom web assets (including the ones for console templates) are now
served from /classic/static.
I tested different combinations of --web.external-url and
--web.route-prefix with proxies in front, and I couldn't find a problem
yet with the routing. Console templates also still work.
While migrating old endpoints to /classic, I noticed that /version was
being treated like a lot of the old UI pages, with readiness check
handler in front of it, etc. I kept it in /version and removed that
readiness wrapper, since it doesn't seem to be needed for that endpoint.

Sadly, just linking to the Histogram best practice document, as done
for `histogram_quantile`, would be confusing here because the best
practice document only deals with quantiles in the context of
Histograms and Summaries, which is very different from the context of
the `quantile` aggregator and `quantile_over_time` function, which is
already a source of a lot of confusion.
Thus, I think the least bad solution is to add a short explanation in
this section directly. There isn't even a good resource on the
internet we can link to. A lot of statisticians use φ-quantiles, but
they don't have a generally accepted name for it.
I have added the explanation after the other detailed explanations of
`count_values`, `topk` and `bottomk`. I think that fits quite nicely
into the flow.

One of our users today asked us if dashes were allowed in recording rule names.
We asserted that they were not, but also that we could not remember for certain.
After determining empirically that they are _not_ allowed, I realized that the
documentation could be slightly clearer about valid rule names.
This PR simply adds a note to the documentation re-iterating that the rules must
be valid metric names - and more importantly, adds a link to where a user can
read what those *are*, in case they were not aware (or did not know where to find it).

This adds support for basic authentication which closes#3090
The support for specifying the client timeout was removed as discussed in https://github.com/prometheus/common/pull/123. Marathon was the only sd mechanism doing this and configuring the timeout is done through `Context`.
DC/OS uses a custom `Authorization` header for authenticating. This adds 2 new configuration properties to reflect this.
Existing configuration files that use the bearer token will no longer work. More work is required to make this backwards compatible.
* consul: improve consul service discovery
Related to #3711
- Add the ability to filter by tag and node-meta in an efficient way (`/catalog/services`
allow filtering by node-meta, and returns a `map[string]string` or `service`->`tags`).
Tags and nore-meta are also used in `/catalog/service` requests.
- Do not require a call to the catalog if services are specified by name. This is important
because on large cluster `/catalog/services` changes all the time.
- Add `allow_stale` configuration option to do stale reads. Non-stale
reads can be costly, even more when you are doing them to a remote
datacenter with 10k+ targets over WAN (which is common for federation).
- Add `refresh_interval` to minimize the strain on the catalog and on the
service endpoint. This is needed because of that kind of behavior from
consul: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3712 and because a catalog
on a large cluster would basically change *all* the time. No need to discover
targets in 1sec if we scrape them every minute.
- Added plenty of unit tests.

Filtering by tag using relabel_configs uses **100kiB and 23kiB/s per service per job** and quite a lot of CPU. Also sends and additional *1Mbps* of traffic to consul.
Being a little bit smarter about this reduces the overhead quite a lot.
Limiting the number of `/catalog/services` queries per second almost removes the overhead of service discovery.
* consul: tweak `refresh_interval` behavior
`refresh_interval` now does what is advertised in the documentation,
there won't be more that one update per `refresh_interval`. It now
defaults to 30s (which was also the current waitTime in the consul query).
This also make sure we don't wait another 30s if we already waited 29s
in the blocking call by substracting the number of elapsed seconds.
Hopefully this will do what people expect it does and will be safer
for existing consul infrastructures.
There is currently no way to differentiate Windows instances from Linux
ones. This is needed when you have a mix of node_exporters /
wmi_exporters for OS-level metrics and you want to have them in separate
scrape jobs.
This change allows you to do just that. Example:
```
- job_name: 'node'
azure_sd_configs:
- <azure_sd_config>
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__meta_azure_machine_os_type]
regex: Linux
action: keep
```
The way the vendor'd AzureSDK provides to get the OsType is a bit
awkward - as far as I can tell, this information can only be gotten from
the startup disk. Newer versions of the SDK appear to improve this a
bit (by having OS information in the InstanceView), but the current way
still works.
The docs suggest that alert templating only works in the summary and
description annotation fields. Some testing and a review of the code
suggests this is no longer true and that you can template any
annotation field.
As discussed generally consider SDs as unstable, as realistically they
are never going to be. Drop the words "experimental/beta" from most
places in the docs, as users are getting the wrong impression from this.
For special remote read endpoints which have only data for specific
queries, it is desired to limit the number of queries sent to the
configured remote read endpoint to reduce latency and performance
overhead.
The only section that still aplies was the one on the default storage
directory so those docs seem obsolete.
We'll probably have a similar page on the new storage but we'll only
find out what caveats etc. we'll have to point out as we get people
reporting problems or notable behavior.
Go automatically configures the number of used threads appropriately
and tweaking it is no longer relevant for a basic setup of Prometheus.
The baseline consumption tied to the storage layer no longer applies.
In order to provide documentation for each individual version, this
commit starts moving Prometheus server specific documentation into the
repository itself.
