This is based on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/1997.
This adds contexts to the relevant Storage methods and already passes
PromQL's new per-query context into the storage's query methods.
The immediate motivation supporting multi-tenancy in Frankenstein, but
this could also be used by Prometheus's normal local storage to support
cancellations and timeouts at some point.
For Weaveworks' Frankenstein, we need to support multitenancy. In
Frankenstein, we initially solved this without modifying the promql
package at all: we constructed a new promql.Engine for every
query and injected a storage implementation into that engine which would
be primed to only collect data for a given user.
This is problematic to upstream, however. Prometheus assumes that there
is only one engine: the query concurrency gate is part of the engine,
and the engine contains one central cancellable context to shut down all
queries. Also, creating a new engine for every query seems like overkill.
Thus, we want to be able to pass per-query contexts into a single engine.
This change gets rid of the promql.Engine's built-in base context and
allows passing in a per-query context instead. Central cancellation of
all queries is still possible by deriving all passed-in contexts from
one central one, but this is now the responsibility of the caller. The
central query context is now created in main() and passed into the
relevant components (web handler / API, rule manager).
In a next step, the per-query context would have to be passed to the
storage implementation, so that the storage can implement multi-tenancy
or other features based on the contextual information.
This will avoid duplicate MetricFamilies, thereby shrinking the size
of the federation payload and also creating legal text format.
Also, add unit tests for federation. They were also needed for the
previous state of the code, but were missing.
This reverts commit aa43d34a86.
This brings back the /graph changes so that @grandbora can continue to
work on the redirect for backwards compatibility. And other changes
can already take the new /graph parameters into account.
This revert will be reverted once v1.1 is released and has its own
release branch. Since we had already change on top of this, there was
no cleaner way of cutting those changes out.
This commit reverts the following commits:
Revert "Update backend helpers and templates to new url schema"
This reverts commit fc6cdd0611.
Revert "Refactor graph.js"
This reverts commit 445fac56e0.
Revert "Use query parameters in the url"
This reverts commit 3e18d86d8a.
Revert "Point to correct place for GraphLinkForExpression"
This reverts commit 3da825fc76.
Assets are also updated.
There's no corresponding table column for this table header. The
placeholder link for silences was removed in e8800730.
Accordingly, regenerate `web/ui/bindata.go` by running:
make assets format

The main idea is that the user of a storage shouldn't have to deal with
fingerprints anymore, and should not need to do an individual preload
call for each metric. The storage interface needs to be made more
high-level to not expose these details.
This also makes it easier to reuse the same storage interface for remote
storages later, as fewer roundtrips are required and the fingerprint
concept doesn't work well across the network.
NOTE: this deliberately gets rid of a small optimization in the old
query Analyzer, where we dedupe instants and ranges for the same series.
This should have a minor impact, as most queries do not have multiple
selectors loading the same series (and at the same offset).
I got feedback from different sources about rules and targets being
too heavy in the status tab if their are lots of them.
This change also allows for more fine-granular locking.
Prometheus is Apache 2 licensed, and most source files have the
appropriate copyright license header, but some were missing it without
apparent reason. Correct that by adding it.
The chunk encoding was hardcoded there because it mostly doesn't
matter what encoding is chosen in that test. Since type 1 is
battle-hardened enough, I'm switching to type 2 here so that we can
catch unexpected problems as a byproduct. My expectation is that the
chunk encoding doesn't matter anyway, as said, but then "unexpected
problems" contains the word "unexpected".
WIP: This needs more tests.
It now gets a from and through value, which it may opportunistically
use to optimize the retrieval. With possible future range indices,
this could be used in a very efficient way. This change merely applies
some easy checks, which should nevertheless solve the use case of
heavy rule evaluations on servers with a lot of series churn.
Idea is the following:
- Only archive series that are at least as old as the headChunkTimeout
(which was already extremely unlikely to happen).
- Then maintain a high watermark for the last archival, i.e. no
archived series has a sample more recent than that watermark.
- Any query that doesn't reach to a time before that watermark doesn't
have to touch the archive index at all. (A production server at
Soundcloud with the aforementioned series churn and heavy rule
evaluations spends 50% of its CPU time in archive index
lookups. Since rule evaluations usually only touch very recent
values, most of those lookup should disappear with this change.)
- Federation with a very broad label matcher will profit from this,
too.
As a byproduct, the un-needed MetricForFingerprint method was removed
from the Storage interface.
This commit simplifies the TargetHealth type and moves the target
status into the target itself. This also removes a race where error
and last scrape time could have been out of sync.
Formalize ZeroSamplePair as return value for non-existing samples.
Change LastSamplePairForFingerprint to return a SamplePair (and not a
pointer to it), which saves allocations in a potentially extremely
frequent call.
It's actually happening in several places (and for flags, we use the
standard Go time.Duration...). This at least reduces all our
home-grown parsing to one place (in model).
This enables metric name autocompletion for every word in an expression,
not just the very first one. It would be great to also support all
language keywords during autocompletion in the future.
This adapts some functionality from the Go standard library for string
literal lexing and unquoting/unescaping.
The following string types are now supported:
Double- or single-quoted strings:
These support all escape sequences that Go supports in double-quoted
string literals. The difference is that Prometheus also has
single-quoted strings (instead of single-quoted runes in Go). Raw
newlines are not allowed.
Backtick-quoted raw strings:
Strings quoted in backticks are treated as raw strings just like in Go
and may contain raw newlines and other special characters directly.
