VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics v1.87.1 on GitHub

Changes

v1.87.1

Released at 2023-02-09

v1.87.x is a line of LTS releases (e.g. long-time support). It contains important up-to-date bugfixes.
The v1.87.x line will be supported for at least 12 months since v1.87.0 release

FEATURE: vmalert: alerts state restore procedure was changed to become asynchronous. It doesn't block groups start anymore which significantly improves vmalert's startup time.
This also means that -remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors command-line flag becomes deprecated now and will have no effect if configured.
While previously state restore attempt was made for all the loaded alerting rules, now it is called only for alerts which became active after the first evaluation. See this issue.
FEATURE: vmui: optimize VMUI for use from smartphones and tablets. See this feature request.
FEATURE: vmui: add ability to search tenants in the drop-down list for the tenant selector. See this feature request.
FEATURE: vmui: add avg/min/max/last values to line legends and tooltips for graphs. See this feature request.
FEATURE: vmui: hide the default per-job resource usage dashboard if there is a custom dashboard exists at the directory specified via -vmui.customDashboardsPath command-line flag. See this feature request.
BUGFIX: vmagent: fix panic in HashiCorp Nomad service discovery. Thanks to @mr-karan for the pull request.
BUGFIX: vmalert: fix display of rules number per-group for groups with identical names in UI.
BUGFIX: vmalert: prevent disabling state updates tracking per rule via setting values < 1. The minimum number of update states to track is now set to 1.
BUGFIX: vmalert: properly update debug and update_entries_limit rule's params on config's hot-reload.
BUGFIX: properly initialize the vm_concurrent_insert_current metric before exposing it. Previously this metric could be left uninitialized in some cases, e.g. its value was zero. This could lead to false alerts for the query avg_over_time(vm_concurrent_insert_current[1m]) >= vm_concurrent_insert_capacity. See this issue.
BUGFIX: vmagent: immediately cancel in-flight scrape requests during configuration reload when using stream parsing mode. Previously vmagent could wait for long time until all the in-flight requests are completed before reloading the configuration. This could significantly slow down configuration reload. See this issue.
BUGFIX: vmgateway: do not validate JWT signature if no public keys are provided. Previously this could result in the error setting up jwt verification error.
