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.
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.
This moves the concern of resolving the files relative to the config
file into the configuration loading itself.
It also fixes#921 which did not load the cert and token files relatively.
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.

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.
