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.
TargetProviders may flush some last changes to the target manager
before actually stopping. To properly read those form the channel
the target manager must not be locked while stopping a provider.
This calculates how much a counter increases over
a given period of time, which is the area under the curve
of it's rate.
increase(x[5m]) is equivilent to rate(x[5m]) * 300.
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.
Some SD configs may have many options. To be readable and consistent, make
all discovery constructors receive the full config rather than the separate
arguments.
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.
This commit adds a relabelling stage on the set of base
labels from which a target is created. It allows to drop
targets and rewrite any regular or internal label.
This commit changes the configuration interface from job configs to scrape
configs. This includes allowing multiple ways of target definition at once
and moving DNS SD to its own config message. DNS SD can now contain multiple
DNS names per configured discovery.
This commit shifts responsibility for maintaining targets from providers and
pools to the target manager. Target groups have a source name that identifies
them for updates.
/api/targets was undocumented and never used and also broken.
Showing instance and job labels on the status page (next to targets)
does not make sense as those labels are set in an obvious way.
Also add a doc comment to TargetStateToClass.
The one central sample ingestion channel has caused a variety of
trouble. This commit removes it. Targets and rule evaluation call an
Append method directly now. To incorporate multiple storage backends
(like OpenTSDB), storage.Tee forks the Append into two different
appenders.
Note that the tsdb queue manager had its own queue anyway. It was a
queue after a queue... Much queue, so overhead...
Targets have their own little buffer (implemented as a channel) to
avoid stalling during an http scrape. But a new scrape will only be
started once the old one is fully ingested.
The contraption of three pipelined ingesters was removed. A Target is
an ingester itself now. Despite more logic in Target, things should be
less confusing now.
Also, remove lint and vet warnings in ast.go.
The current wording suggests that a target is not reachable at all,
although it might also get set when the target was reachable, but there
was some other error during the scrape (invalid headers or invalid
scrape content). UNHEALTHY is a more general wording that includes all
these cases.
For consistency, ALIVE is also renamed to HEALTHY.
We were using Godep incorrectly (cloning repos from the internet during
build time instead of including Godeps/_workspace in the GOPATH via
"godep go"). However, to avoid even having to fetch "godeps" from the
internet during build, this now just copies the vendored files into the
GOPATH.
Also, the protocol buffer library moved from Google Code to GitHub,
which is reflected in these updates.
This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/525
- Increase samplesQueueCapacity.
- Improve docstring for the above.
- Accept a short waiting period for the ingest channel to become
ready. This should depend on the http timeout, but 100ms is probably
good enough to cushion bursts bigger than samplesQueueCapacity,
while it is unlikely that anybody ever will set an HTTP timeout
similarly short.
This is now not even trying to throttle in a benign way, but creates a
fully-fledged error. Advantage: It shows up very visible on the status
page. Disadvantage: The server does not really adjusts to a lower
scraping rate. However, if your ingestion backs up, you are in a very
irregulare state, I'd say it _should_ be considered an error and not
dealt with in a more graceful way.
In different news: I'll work on optimizing ingestion so that we will
not as easily run into that situation in the first place.
