VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics v1.54.0 on GitHub

Changes

FEATURE: optimize searching for matching metrics for metric{<label_filters>} queries if <label_filters> contains at least a single filter. For example, the query up{job="foobar"} should find the matching time series faster than previously.
FEATURE: reduce execution times for q1 <binary_op> q2 queries by executing q1 and q2 in parallel.
FEATURE: switch from Go1.15 to Go1.16 for building prod binaries.
FEATURE: single-node VictoriaMetrics now accepts requests to handlers with /prometheus and /graphite prefixes such as /prometheus/api/v1/query. This improves compatibility with handlers from VictoriaMetrics cluster.
FEATURE: expose process_open_fds and process_max_fds metrics. These metrics can be used for alerting when process_open_fds reaches process_max_fds. See #402 and #1037
FEATURE: vmalert: add -datasource.appendTypePrefix command-line option for querying both Prometheus and Graphite datasource in cluster version of VictoriaMetrics. See these docs for details.
FEATURE: vmauth: add ability to route requests from a single user to multiple destinations depending on the requested paths. See #1064
FEATURE: remove dependency on external programs such as cat, grep and cut when detecting cpu and memory limits inside Docker or LXC container.
FEATURE: vmagent: add __meta_kubernetes_endpoints_label_*, __meta_kubernetes_endpoints_labelpresent_*, __meta_kubernetes_endpoints_annotation_* and __meta_kubernetes_endpoints_annotationpresent_* labels for role: endpoints in Kubernetes service discovery. These labels where added in Prometheus 2.25.
FEATURE: reduce the minimum supported retention period for inverted index (aka indexdb) from one month to one day. This should reduce disk space usage for <-storageDataPath>/indexdb folder if -retentionPeriod is set to values smaller than one month.
FEATURE: vmselect: export per-tenant metrics vm_vmselect_http_requests_total and vm_vmselect_http_requests_duration_ms_total . Other per-tenant metrics are available as a part of enterprise package. See #932 for details.
BUGFIX: properly convert regexp tag filters containing escaped dots to non-regexp tag filters. For example, {foo=~"bar\.baz"} should be converted to {foo="bar.baz"}. Previously it was incorrectly converted to {foo="bar\.baz"}, which could result in missing time series for this tag filter.
BUGFIX: do not spam error logs when discovering Docker Swarm targets without dedicated IP. See #1028 .
BUGFIX: properly embed timezone data into VictoriaMetrics apps. This should fix -loggerTimezone usage inside Docker containers.
BUGFIX: properly build Docker images for non-amd64 architectures (arm, arm64, ppc64le, 386) on Docker hub. Previously these images were incorrectly based on amd64 base image, so they didn't work.
BUGFIX: vmagent: return back unsent block to the queue during graceful shutdown. Previously this block could be dropped if remote storage is unavailable during vmagent shutdown. See #1065 .
