When the test ends, all files matching the watcher's glob are removed
via defer. In that moment, the draining goroutine may still be running
and then detect no files matching the configured glob just before the
test exits.
This is now solved by waiting for the draining goroutine to finish
before leaving the test function and thus causing the deferred file
removal.
This is with `golint -min_confidence=0.5`.
I left several lint warnings untouched because they were either
incorrect or I felt it was better not to change them at the moment.
merge() closes the channel that handleUpdates() reads from when there
are zero configured target providers in the configuration. In that case,
the for-select loop in handleUpdates() entered a busy loop. It should
exit when the upstream channel is closed.
Instead of only filling __meta_consul_dc when datacenter is set in
consul_sd_config this change fills the label based on what the agent
reports it's current data center is, if datacenter isn't manually set,
otherwise it uses whatever datacenter was set to.
ReplaceAllString only replaces the matching part of the regex,
the unmatched bits around it are left in place. This is not the
expected or desired behaviour as the replacement string should
be everything.
This may break users dependant on this behaviour, but
what they're doing is still possible.
The intended use case is where a user has tags/labels coming
from metadata in Kubernetes or EC2, and wants to make
some subset of them into target labels.
Include position of same SD mechanisms within the same scrape configuration.
Move unique prefixing out of SD implementations and target manager into
its own interface.
Allow scrape_configs to have an optional proxy_url option which specifies
a proxy to be used for all connections to hosts in that config.
Internally this modifies the various client functions to take a *url.URL pointer
which currently must point to an HTTP proxy (but has been left open-ended to
allow the url format to be extended to support others, such as maybe SOCKS if
needed).
In setups where the ServiceAddress is the relevant address for
scraping, users can relabel the `__address__` label to ServiceAddress
+ ":" + ServicePort.
This needs to be documented, of course. Will do once this is LGTM'd.
This takes the modulus of a hash of some labels.
Combined with a keep relabel action, this allows
for sharding of targets across multiple prometheus
servers.
Changes to the UI:
- "Active Since" timestamps are now human-readable.
- Alerting rules are now pretty-printed better.
- Labels are no longer just strings, but alert bubbles (like we do on
the status page for base labels).
- Alert states and target health states are now capitalized in the
presentation layer rather than at the source.
This commit adds the honor_labels and params arguments to the scrape
config. This allows to specify query parameters used by the scrapers
and handling scraped labels with precedence.
The main purpose of this is to allow for blacklisting
of expensive metrics as a tactical option.
It could also find uses for renaming and removing labels
from federation.

Figuring out what's going on with the new service discovery
and labels is difficult. Add a popover with the labels
to the target table to make things simpler, and help
discovery of potentially useful labels.
TargetProviders may flush some last changes to the target manager
before actually stopping. To properly read those form the channel
the target manager must not be locked while stopping a provider.
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.
This change is conceptually very simple, although the diff is large. It
switches logging from "github.com/golang/glog" to
"github.com/prometheus/log", while not actually changing any log
messages. V(1)-style logging has been changed to be log.Debug*().
Appending to the storage can block for a long time. Timing out
scrapes can also cause longer blocks. This commit avoids that those
blocks affect other compnents than the target itself.
Also the Target interface was removed.
The target implementation and interface contain methods only serving a
specific purpose of the templates. They were moved to the template
as they operate on more fundamental target data.
Some SD configs may have many options. To be readable and consistent, make
all discovery constructors receive the full config rather than the separate
arguments.
This commits adds file based service discovery which reads target
groups from specified files. It detects changes based on file watches
and regular refreshes.
With this commit, sending SIGHUP to the Prometheus process will reload
and apply the configuration file. The different components attempt
to handle failing changes gracefully.
This commit adds a relabelling stage on the set of base
labels from which a target is created. It allows to drop
targets and rewrite any regular or internal label.
This commit changes the configuration interface from job configs to scrape
configs. This includes allowing multiple ways of target definition at once
and moving DNS SD to its own config message. DNS SD can now contain multiple
DNS names per configured discovery.
This commit shifts responsibility for maintaining targets from providers and
pools to the target manager. Target groups have a source name that identifies
them for updates.
/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.
The current wording suggests that a target is not reachable at all,
although it might also get set when the target was reachable, but there
was some other error during the scrape (invalid headers or invalid
scrape content). UNHEALTHY is a more general wording that includes all
these cases.
For consistency, ALIVE is also renamed to HEALTHY.
We were using Godep incorrectly (cloning repos from the internet during
build time instead of including Godeps/_workspace in the GOPATH via
"godep go"). However, to avoid even having to fetch "godeps" from the
internet during build, this now just copies the vendored files into the
GOPATH.
Also, the protocol buffer library moved from Google Code to GitHub,
which is reflected in these updates.
This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/525
- Increase samplesQueueCapacity.
- Improve docstring for the above.
- Accept a short waiting period for the ingest channel to become
ready. This should depend on the http timeout, but 100ms is probably
good enough to cushion bursts bigger than samplesQueueCapacity,
while it is unlikely that anybody ever will set an HTTP timeout
similarly short.
This is now not even trying to throttle in a benign way, but creates a
fully-fledged error. Advantage: It shows up very visible on the status
page. Disadvantage: The server does not really adjusts to a lower
scraping rate. However, if your ingestion backs up, you are in a very
irregulare state, I'd say it _should_ be considered an error and not
dealt with in a more graceful way.
In different news: I'll work on optimizing ingestion so that we will
not as easily run into that situation in the first place.
The simple algorithm applied here will increase the actual interval
incrementally, whenever and as long as the scrape itself takes longer
than the configured interval. Once it takes shorter again, the actual
interval will iteratively decrease again.
- 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.
The "Address" is actually a URL which may contain username and
password. Calling this Address is misleading so we rename it.

- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).
- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.
- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.
- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
only set once.)
- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)
- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
things consistently everywhere.

Having metrics with variable timestamps inconsistently
spaced when things fail will make it harder to write correct rules.

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.

This includes required refactorings to enable replacing the http client (for
testing) and moving the NotificationReq type definitions to the "notifications"
package, so that this package doesn't need to depend on "rules" anymore and
that it can instead use a representation of the required data which only
includes the necessary fields.
This commit forces the extraction framework to read the entire response payload
into a buffer before attempting to decode it, for the underlying Protocol Buffer
message readers do not block on partial messages.
If the metrics exported by a process already contain any of a target's
base labels (such as "job" or "instance", but also any manually assigned
target-group label), don't overwrite that label, but instead add a new
label consisting of the original label name prepended with "exporter_".
This is to accomodate intermediate exporter jobs, which might indicate
e.g. the jobs and instances for which they are exporting data.
This commit updates the documentation, Makefiles, formatting, and
code semantics to support the 1.1. runtime, which includes ...
1. ``make advice``,
2. ``make format``, and
3. ``go fix`` on various targets.
This commit employs explicit memory freeing for the in-memory storage
arenas. Secondarily, we take advantage of smaller channel buffer sizes
in the test.
Instead of externally handling timeouts when scraping a target, we set
timeouts on the HTTP connection. This ensures that we don't leak
goroutines on timeouts.
[fixes#181]
Primary changes:
* Strictly typed unmarshalling of metric values
* Schema types are contained by the processor (no "type entity002")
Minor changes:
* Added ProcessorFunc type for expressing processors as simple
functions.
* Added non-destructive `Merge` method to `model.LabelSet`
ProcessorForRequestHeader now looks first for a header like
`Content-Type: application/json; schema="prometheus/telemetry";
version="0.0.1"` before falling back to checking
`X-Prometheus-API-Version`.
We're currently timestamping samples with the time at the end of a scrape
iteration. It makes more sense to use a timestamp from the beginning of the
scrape for two reasons:
a) this time is more relevant to the scraped values than the time at the
end of the HTTP-GET + JSON decoding work.
b) it reduces sample timestamp jitter if we measure at the beginning, and
not at the completion of a scrape.
In the current /status implementation, we cannot divine what the
target's state is but rather get an integer constant for it. This
commit, stringifies the constants.
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)
Right now, futureState is only used to give hints to the health scheduler, but
nowhere is this future state persisted into the target's state field, so we
don't actually track a target's state over time.
We have an open question of how long does it take for each target
pool to have the state retrieved from all participating elements.
This commit starts by providing insight into this.
client_golang was updated to support full label-oriented telemetry,
which introduced interface incompatibilities with the previous
version of Prometheus. To alleviate this, a general fetching and
processing dispatching system has been created, which discriminates
and processes according to the version of input.
Future tests around the ``TargetPool`` and ``TargetManager`` and
friends will be a lot easier when the concrete behaviors of
``Target`` can be extracted out. Plus, each ``Target``, I suspect,
will have its own resolution and query strategy.
``Target`` will be refactored down the road to support various
nuanced endpoint types. Thusly incorporating the scheduling
behavior within it will be problematic. To that end, the scheduling
behavior has been moved into a separate assistance type to improve
conciseness and testability.
``make format`` was also run.

``TargetPool`` is a pool of targets pending scraping. For now, it
uses the ``heap.Interface`` from ``container/heap`` to provide a
priority queue for the system to scrape from the next target.
It is my supposition that we'll use a model whereby we create a
``TargetPool`` for each scrape interval, into which ``Target``
instances are registered.
