Don't handle `0` as a special timestamp value for "now" anymore, except
in the `QueryRange()` case, where existing API consumers still expect
`0` to mean "now".
Also, properly return errors now for malformed timestamp/duration
float values.
/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.
- original series data is saved so it can be re-transformed after
Rickshaw's stacking modified the series data
- always reconstruct graphs from scratch instead of updating the
settings of an existing one (simplification)
- always wipe and recreate all graph-related DOM elements completely so
that no left-over event handlers cause background event handlers
This is related to #454. Queries now timeout after a duration set by
the -query.timeout flag. The TotalEvalTimer is now started/stopped
inside any of the ast.Eval* functions.
When Rickshaw was updated to 1.5.1 in
fd43daf82e,
the Rickshaw upstream package now contained 3 different D3 files:
d3.min.js
d3.v2.js
d3.v3.js
For details on why that is, see
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/d3-js/lXQgKA7mtEw
For the 1.5.1 Rickshaw to work properly (being able to format dates with
D3 without causing a JS error), it needs d3.v2.js or d3.v3.js, not the
d3.min.js one. I chose to update us to d3.v3.js now, since that is the
most recent and minified version, and I didn't see any problems with it
(also, the current Rickshaw examples are using that D3 version).
Currently, displaying graphs with a range >14d is broken. This fixes
that.
While the recent commit 7e5745f solved the issue of having an
independent blob-stamp file, which was possible to become out of
sync with the necessary web/blob/files.go file, this change further
simplifies the setup by merging the two Makefile.
The only purpose of web/Makefile was to call targets in
web/blob/Makefile. As all dependencies for blob/files.go are
outside of the blob/ directory, the separation isn't logically
necessary.
- Use only the minified versions of bootstrap.
- Do not embed non-minified bootstrap files and bootstrap map files.
- Simplify the 'blob-stamp' Makefile contraption.
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
This provides the basic js, css and console template
templates required to build dashboards.
Included as an example are consoles for the node_exporter.

After many transformations, it doesn't make sense to keep the metric
names, since the result of the transformation is no longer that metric.
This drops the metric name after such transformations and makes the web
UI deal well with missing metric names.
This depends on the current branch on the following things:
- prometheus/client_golang needs to be at

This fixes the problem where samples become temporarily unavailable for
queries while they are being flushed to disk. Although the entire
flushing code could use some major refactoring, I'm explicitly trying to
do the minimal change to fix the problem since there's a whole new

This was initially motivated by wanting to distribute the rule checker
tool under `tools/rule_checker`. However, this was not possible without
also distributing the LevelDB dynamic libraries because the tool
transitively depended on Levigo:
rule checker -> query layer -> tiered storage layer -> leveldb
This change separates external storage interfaces from the
implementation (tiered storage, leveldb storage, memory storage) by
putting them into separate packages:
- storage/metric: public, implementation-agnostic interfaces
- storage/metric/tiered: tiered storage implementation, including memory
and LevelDB storage.
I initially also considered splitting up the implementation into
separate packages for tiered storage, memory storage, and LevelDB
storage, but these are currently so intertwined that it would be another
major project in itself.
The query layers and most other parts of Prometheus now have notion of
the storage implementation anymore and just use whatever implementation
they get passed in via interfaces.
The rule_checker is now a static binary :)

This also fixes the compaction test, which before worked only because

So far we've been using Go's native time.Time for anything related to sample
timestamps. Since the range of time.Time is much bigger than what we need, this
has created two problems:
- there could be time.Time values which were out of the range/precision of the
time type that we persist to disk, therefore causing incorrectly ordered keys.
One bug caused by this was:
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/367
It would be good to use a timestamp type that's more closely aligned with
what the underlying storage supports.
- sizeof(time.Time) is 192, while Prometheus should be ok with a single 64-bit
Unix timestamp (possibly even a 32-bit one). Since we store samples in large
numbers, this seriously affects memory usage. Furthermore, copying/working
with the data will be faster if it's smaller.
*MEMORY USAGE RESULTS*
Initial memory usage comparisons for a running Prometheus with 1 timeseries and
100,000 samples show roughly a 13% decrease in total (VIRT) memory usage. In my
tests, this advantage for some reason decreased a bit the more samples the
timeseries had (to 5-7% for millions of samples). This I can't fully explain,
but perhaps garbage collection issues were involved.
*WHEN TO USE THE NEW TIMESTAMP TYPE*
The new clientmodel.Timestamp type should be used whenever time
calculations are either directly or indirectly related to sample
timestamps.
For example:
- the timestamp of a sample itself
- all kinds of watermarks
- anything that may become or is compared to a sample timestamp (like the timestamp
passed into Target.Scrape()).
When to still use time.Time:
- for measuring durations/times not related to sample timestamps, like duration
telemetry exporting, timers that indicate how frequently to execute some
action, etc.
*NOTE ON OPERATOR OPTIMIZATION TESTS*
We don't use operator optimization code anymore, but it still lives in
the code as dead code. It still has tests, but I couldn't get all of them to
pass with the new timestamp format. I commented out the failing cases for now,
but we should probably remove the dead code soon. I just didn't want to do that
in the same change as this.

Due to on going issues, we've decided to remove gorest. It started with gorest
not being thread-safe (it does introspection to create a new handler which is
an easy process to mess up with multiple threads of execution):
https://code.google.com/p/gorest/issues/detail?id=15
While the issue has been marked fixed, it looks like the patch has introduced
more problems than the original issue and simply doesn't work properly.
I'm not sure the behaviour was thought through properly. If a new instance is
needed every request then a handler-factory is needed or the library needs to
set expectations about how the new objects should interact with their
constructor state.
While it was tempting to try out another routing library, I think for now
it's better to use dumb vanilla Go routing. At least until we decide which
URL format we intend to standardize on.

This commit fixes a critique of the old storage API design, whereby
the input parameters were always as raw bytes and never Protocol
Buffer messages that encapsulated the data, meaning every place a
read or mutation was conducted needed to manually perform said
translations on its own. This is taxing.
Change-Id: I4786938d0d207cefb7782bd2bd96a517eead186f
An design question was open for me in the beginning was whether to
serialize other types to disk, but Protocol Buffers quickly won out,
which allows us to drop support for other types. This is a good
start to cleaning up a lot of cruft in the storage stack and
can let us eventually decouple the various moving parts into
separate subsystems for easier reasoning.
This commit is not strictly required, but it is a start to making
the rest a lot more enjoyable to interact with.
This adds timers around several query-relevant code blocks. For now, the
query timer stats are only logged for queries initiated through the UI.
In other cases (rule evaluations), the stats are simply thrown away.
My hope is that this helps us understand where queries spend time,
especially in cases where they sometimes hang for unusual amounts of
time.
In order to help corroborate whether a Prometheus instance has
flapped until meta-monitoring is in-place, we ought to provide the
instance's start time in the console to aid in diagnostics.
This commit simplifies the way that compactions across a database's
keyspace occur due to reading the LevelDB internals. Secondarily it
introduces the database size estimation mechanisms.
Include database health and help interfaces.
Add database statistics; remove status goroutines.
This commit kills the use of Go routines to expose status throughout
the web components of Prometheus. It also dumps raw LevelDB status
on a separate /databases endpoint.
This commit introduces three background compactors, which compact
sparse samples together.
1. Older than five minutes is grouped together into chunks of 50 every 30
minutes.
2. Older than 60 minutes is grouped together into chunks of 250 every 50
minutes.
3. Older than one day is grouped together into chunks of 5000 every 70
minutes.
Unfortunately ``cp`` on Darwin regards some flags as positional and
requires them to be in a specific place. The new Protocol Buffer
descriptor bundling fails on Mac OS.
The Protocol Buffer compiler supports generating a machine-readable
descriptor file encoded as a provided Protocol Buffer message type,
which can be used to decode messages that have been encoded with it
after-the-fact. The generated descriptor also bundles in dependent
message types.
We can use this to perform forensics on old Prometheus clients, if
necessary.
Go's time.Time represents time as UTC in its fundamental data type.
That said, when using ``time.Unix(...)``, it sets the zone for the
time representation to the local. Unfortunately with diagnosis and
our tests, it is a PITA to jump between various zones, even though
the serialized version remains the same.
To keep things easy, all places where times are generated or read
are converted into UTC. These conversions are cheap, for
``Time.In`` merely changes a pointer reference in the struct,
nothing more. This enables me to diagnose test failures with fixture
data very easily.
By setting Access-Control headers, the Prometheus metrics API can be
accessed by cross-origin javascript applications (e.g., an external
dashboard pulling Prometheus metrics).
To achieve that, this PR
- converts static/index.html ("console") and graph to templates
- moved the handlebars template to separated file to avoid escaping issues
Route changes:
/status -> /
/static -> /console
/static/graph.html -> /graph

Improve Makefile and Git developer experience.
The top-level Makefile was a bit overloaded in terms of generation of
assets and their management. This has been offloaded into separate
Makefiles.
The Git developer experience sucked due to lack of .gitignore
policies.
Also: Fix faulty skiplist naming from old merge.
- utility/embed-static.sh, get called in Makefile to create go map from files
- web/blob/blob.go implements http Handle for serving the files from the map
- web/status.go uses blog.GetFile() to get the template file
The assets are gzipped and decompressed on demand.
This roughly comprises the following changes:
- index target pools by job instead of scrape interval
- make targets within a pool exchangable while preserving existing
health state for targets
- allow exchanging targets via HTTP API (PUT)
- show target lists in /status (experimental, for own debug use)
