The First time is kind of trivial as we always know it when we create
a new chunkDesc.
The last time is only know when the chunk is closed, so we have to set
it at that time.
The change saves a lot of digging down into the chunk
itself. Especially the last time is relative expensive as it involves
the creation of an iterator. The first time access now doesn't require
locking, which is also a nice gain.
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.
"Rushed mode" is formerly known as "degraded mode", which is changed
with this commit, too. The name "degraded" was very misleading.
Also, switch into rushed mode if we have too many chunks in memory and
an at least reasonable amount of chunks to persist so that speeding up
persisting chunks can help.
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.
The test had become flaky with Go1.5.
Theory here is that with Go1.5.x, sleeping for 10ms might not be
enough to wake up another goroutine, possibly because it is used for
GC. 50ms should always be enough due to GC pause guarantees with the
new GC.
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.
If users see the crash recovery error, the chances are
they aren't shutting down Prometheus correctly. Telling
them how to do so will help them debug and fix the problem.
Perhaps it would be even better to still warn in case the sample value has
changed but the timestamps are equal, but we don't have efficient access
to the last value.
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).
For the label matching index-based preselection phase, don't do an OR
between equality and non-equality matchers. Execute only one of the two
(with equality matchers preferred when present).
Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/924
If all samples in consecutive chunks have the same timestamp, the way
we used to load chunks will fail. With this change, the persist
watermark is used to load the right amount of chunkDescs from disk.
This bug is a possible reason for the rare storage corruption we have
observed.
