With recent changes to a Target's internal data representation
updating by fullLabels() assigns the additional default
instance label. This breaks target identity comparison and causes
identical targets from service discovery to be constantly swapped.
For historic reasons we were enforcing a timeout directly
via the TCP dialer. This is no longer necessary for quite a while now.
Switching to context.Context will allow us to properly terminate
requests on shutdown as well.
To evenly distribute scraping load we currently rely on random
jittering. This commit hashes over the target's identity and calculates
a consistent offset. This also ensures that scrape intervals
are constantly spaced between config/target changes.
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.
Move defer resp.Body.Close() up to make sure it's called even when the
HTTP request returns something other than 200 or Decoder construction
fails. This avoids leaking and eventually running out of file descriptors.
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.
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).
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 the honor_labels and params arguments to the scrape
config. This allows to specify query parameters used by the scrapers
and handling scraped labels with precedence.
The main purpose of this is to allow for blacklisting
of expensive metrics as a tactical option.
It could also find uses for renaming and removing labels
from federation.

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.
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*().
Appending to the storage can block for a long time. Timing out
scrapes can also cause longer blocks. This commit avoids that those
blocks affect other compnents than the target itself.
Also the Target interface was removed.
The target implementation and interface contain methods only serving a
specific purpose of the templates. They were moved to the template
as they operate on more fundamental target data.
This commits adds file based service discovery which reads target
groups from specified files. It detects changes based on file watches
and regular refreshes.
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.
