If the label doesn't exist on the one side, it's not copied.
All labels on the many inside are included, this is a breaking change
but likely low impact.
The labels listed in the group_ modifier will be copied from the one
side to the many side. It will be valid to specify no labels.
This is intended to replace the existing ON/GROUP_* support.,
The `unless` set operator can be used to return all vector elements from
the LHS which do not match the elements on the RHS. A use case is to
return all metrics for nodes which do not have a specific role:
node_load1 unless on(instance) chef_role{role="app"}

This remove the last (and in fact bogus) use of BoundaryValues.
Thus, a whole lot of unused (and arguably sub-optimal / ugly) code can
be removed here, too.
This has the advantage that the user doesn't need
to list all labels they want to keep (as with "by")
but without having to worry about inconsistent labels
as when there's only one time series (as with "keeping_common").
Almost all aggregation should use this rather than the existing
two options as it's much less error prone and easier to maintain
due to not having to always add in "job" plus whatever other common
job-level labels you have like "region".
The new implementation detects the start and end of a series by
looking at the average sample interval within the range. If the first
(last) sample in the range is more than 1.1*interval distant from the
beginning (end) of the range, it is considered the first (last) sample
of the series as a whole, and extrapolation is limited to half the
interval (rather than all the way to the beginning (end) of the
range). In addition, if the extrapolated starting point of a counter
(where it is zero) is within the range, it is used as the starting
point of the series.
Fixes#581
This change is breaking, use the 'bool' modifier for such comprisons.
After this change all comparisons without 'bool' will filter, and all
comparisons with 'bool' will return 0/1. This makes the language more
consistent and orthogonal, and ultimately easier to learn and use.
If we ever figure out sane semantics for filtering scalar/scalar
comparisons we can add them in, which will most likely come out of how
the new vector() function is used.
This change is breaking, use increase() instead.
I'm not cleaning up the function in this PR, as my solution to #581 will
rewrite and simplify increase/rate/delta.
irate is a rate function that only looks at the most
recent two data points, and calucaltes a per-second value
from that. This produces much more granular graphs for
fast moving data, and works sanely across many scrape intervals.
It doesn't do so well for slowly moving data.
Currently the only way to convert a scalar to a vector is to
use absent(), which isn't very clean. This adds a vector()
function that's the inverse of scalar() and lets your optionally
set labels.
Example usage would be
vector(time() % 86400) < 3600
to filter to only the first hour of the day.
When doing comparison operations on vectors, filtering
sometimes gets in the way and you have to go to a fair bit of
effort to workaround it in order to always return a result.
The 'bool' modifier instead of filtering returns 0/1 depending
on the result of the compairson.
This is also a prerequisite to removing plain scalar/scalar comparisons,
as it maintains the current behaviour under a new syntax.
`keep_common` is more in line with the function name
`drop_common_labels()` terminology-wise, and also more in line with
`group_left`/`group_right` (no `...ing` verb suffix).
We could also go the full way and call it `keep_common_labels`. That
would have the benefit of being even more consistent with the function
`drop_common_labels()` and would be more explanatory, but it also seems
quite long.
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.
