[BUGFIX] PromQL: Only return "possible non-counter" annotation when rate returns points. #14910

3.0.0-beta.0 / 2024-09-05

Release 3.0.0-beta.0 includes new features such as a brand new UI and UTF-8 support enabled by default. As a new major version, several breaking changes are introduced. The breaking changes are mainly around the removal of deprecated feature flags and CLI arguments, and the full list can be found below. Most users should be able to try this release out of the box without any configuration changes.

As is traditional with a beta release, we do not recommend users install 3.0.0-beta on critical production systems, but we do want everyone to test it out and find bugs.

[CHANGE] UI: The old web UI has been replaced by a completely new one that is less cluttered and adds a few new features (PromLens-style tree view, better metrics explorer, "Explain" tab). However, it is still missing some features of the old UI (notably, exemplar display and heatmaps). To switch back to the old UI, you can use the feature flag --enable-feature=old-ui for the time being. #14872
[CHANGE] PromQL: Range selectors and the lookback delta are now left-open, i.e. a sample coinciding with the lower time limit is excluded rather than included. #13904
[CHANGE] Kubernetes SD: Remove support for discovery.k8s.io/v1beta1 API version of EndpointSlice. This version is no longer served as of Kubernetes v1.25. #14365
[CHANGE] Kubernetes SD: Remove support for networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 API version of Ingress. This version is no longer served as of Kubernetes v1.22. #14365
[CHANGE] UTF-8: Enable UTF-8 support by default. Prometheus now allows all UTF-8 characters in metric and label names. The corresponding utf8-name feature flag has been removed. #14705
[CHANGE] Console: Remove example files for the console feature. Users can continue using the console feature by supplying their own JavaScript and templates. #14807
[CHANGE] SD: Enable the new service discovery manager by default. This SD manager does not restart unchanged discoveries upon reloading. This makes reloads faster and reduces pressure on service discoveries' sources. The corresponding new-service-discovery-manager feature flag has been removed. #14770
[CHANGE] Agent mode has been promoted to stable. The feature flag agent has been removed. To run Prometheus in Agent mode, use the new --agent cmdline arg instead. #14747
[CHANGE] Remove deprecated remote-write-receiver,promql-at-modifier, and promql-negative-offset feature flags. #13456, #14526
[CHANGE] Remove deprecated storage.tsdb.allow-overlapping-blocks, alertmanager.timeout, and storage.tsdb.retention flags. #14640, #14643
[FEATURE] Promtool: Allow additional labels to be added to blocks created from openmetrics. #14402
[FEATURE] OTLP receiver: Add new option otlp.promote_resource_attributes, for any OTel resource attributes that should be promoted to metric labels. #14200

[ENHANCEMENT] OTLP receiver: Warn when encountering exponential histograms with zero count and non-zero sum. #14706
[ENHANCEMENT] OTLP receiver: Interrupt translation on context cancellation/timeout. #14612
[ENHANCEMENT] Scrape: Only parse created timestamp if created-timestamp-zero-ingestion feature flag is enabled. This is as a lot of memory is used when parsing the created timestamp in the OM text format. #14815
[ENHANCEMENT] Scrape: Add support for logging scrape failures to a specified file. #14734
[ENHANCEMENT] Remote Read client: Enable streaming remote read if the server supports it. #11379

2.53.1 / 2024-07-10

Fix a bug which would drop samples in remote-write if the sending flow stalled for longer than it takes to write one "WAL segment". How long this takes depends on the size of your Prometheus; as a rough guide with 10 million series it is about 2-3 minutes.

[BUGFIX] Remote-write: stop dropping samples in catch-up #14446

2.53.0 / 2024-06-16

This release changes the default for GOGC, the Go runtime control for the trade-off between excess memory use and CPU usage. We have found that Prometheus operates with minimal additional CPU usage, but greatly reduced memory by adjusting the upstream Go default from 100 to 75.

[CHANGE] Rules: Execute 1 query instead of N (where N is the number of alerts within alert rule) when restoring alerts. #13980 #14048

[ENHANCEMENT] TSDB: Optimize querying with regexp matchers. #13620
[BUGFIX] OTLP: Don't generate target_info unless there are metrics and at least one identifying label is defined. #13991
[BUGFIX] Scrape: Do no try to ingest native histograms when the native histograms feature is turned off. This happened when protobuf scrape was enabled by for example the created time feature. #13987
[BUGFIX] Scaleway SD: Use the instance's public IP if no private IP is available as the __address__ meta label. #13941
[BUGFIX] Query logger: Do not leak file descriptors on error. #13948
[BUGFIX] TSDB: Let queries with heavy regex matches be cancelled and not use up the CPU. #14096 #14103 #14118 #14199

[BUGFIX] Labels: Set() after Del() would be ignored, which broke some relabeling rules. #12322

2.43.0 / 2023-03-21

We are working on some performance improvements in Prometheus, which are only built into Prometheus when compiling it using the Go tag stringlabels (therefore they are not shipped in the default binaries). It uses a data structure for labels that uses a single string to hold all the label/values, resulting in a smaller heap size and some speedups in most cases. We would like to encourage users who are interested in these improvements to help us measure the gains on their production architecture. We are providing release artefacts 2.43.0+stringlabels and Docker images tagged v2.43.0-stringlabels with those improvements for testing. #10991

2.42.0 / 2023-01-31

This release comes with a bunch of feature coverage for native histograms and breaking changes.

If you are trying native histograms already, we recommend you remove the wal directory when upgrading. Because the old WAL record for native histograms is not backward compatible in v2.42.0, this will lead to some data loss for the latest data.

Additionally, if you scrape "float histograms" or use recording rules on native histograms in v2.42.0 (which writes float histograms), it is a one-way street since older versions do not support float histograms.

[CHANGE] breaking TSDB: Changed WAL record format for the experimental native histograms. #11783

2.40.0 / 2022-11-08

This release introduces an experimental, native way of representing and storing histograms.

It can be enabled in Prometheus via --enable-feature=native-histograms to accept native histograms. Enabling native histograms will also switch the preferred exposition format to protobuf.

To instrument your application with native histograms, use the main branch of client_golang (this will change for the final release when v1.14.0 of client_golang will be out), and set the NativeHistogramBucketFactor in your HistogramOpts (1.1 is a good starting point). Your existing histograms won't switch to native histograms until NativeHistogramBucketFactor is set.

2.7.0 / 2019-01-28

We're rolling back the Dockerfile changes introduced in 2.6.0. If you made changes to your docker deployment in 2.6.0, you will need to roll them back. This release also adds experimental support for disk size based retention. To accommodate that we are deprecating the flag storage.tsdb.retention in favour of storage.tsdb.retention.time.

[CHANGE] Kubernetes SD moves node label to instance label.
[BUGFIX] Escape regexes in console templates.

0.16.0 / 2015-10-09

BREAKING CHANGES:

Release tarballs now contain the built binaries in a nested directory.
The hash_mod relabeling action now uses MD5 hashes instead of FNV hashes to achieve a better distribution.
The DNS-SD meta label __meta_dns_srv_name was renamed to __meta_dns_name to reflect support for DNS record types other than SRV.
The default full refresh interval for the file-based service discovery has been increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
In relabeling, parts of a source label that weren't matched by the specified regular expression are no longer included in the replacement output.
Queries no longer interpolate between two data points. Instead, the resulting value will always be the latest value before the evaluation query timestamp.
Regular expressions supplied via the configuration are now anchored to match full strings instead of substrings.
Global labels are not appended upon storing time series anymore. Instead, they are only appended when communicating with external systems (Alertmanager, remote storages, federation). They have thus also been renamed from global.labels to global.external_labels.
The names and units of metrics related to remote storage sample appends have been changed.
The experimental support for writing to InfluxDB has been updated to work with InfluxDB 0.9.x. 0.8.x versions of InfluxDB are not supported anymore.
Escape sequences in double- and single-quoted string literals in rules or query expressions are now interpreted like escape sequences in Go string literals (https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals).

Future breaking changes / deprecated features:

The delta() function had an undocumented optional second boolean argument to make it behave like increase(). This second argument will be removed in the future. Migrate any occurrences of delta(x, 1) to use increase(x) instead.
Support for filter operators between two scalar values (like 2 > 1) will be removed in the future. These will require a bool modifier on the operator, e.g. 2 > bool 1.

All changes:

[CHANGE] Renamed global.labels to global.external_labels.
[CHANGE] Vendoring is now done via govendor instead of godep.
[CHANGE] Change web UI root page to show the graphing interface instead of the server status page.
[CHANGE] Append global labels only when communicating with external systems instead of storing them locally.
[CHANGE] Change all regexes in the configuration to do full-string matches instead of substring matches.
[CHANGE] Remove interpolation of vector values in queries.
[CHANGE] For alert SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION template fields, cast the alert value to float64 to work with common templating functions.
[CHANGE] In relabeling, don't include unmatched source label parts in the replacement.
[CHANGE] Change default full refresh interval for the file-based service discovery from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
[CHANGE] Rename the DNS-SD meta label __meta_dns_srv_name to __meta_dns_name to reflect support for other record types than SRV.
[CHANGE] Release tarballs now contain the binaries in a nested directory.
