VictoriaMetrics Files

v1.129.0

Released at 2025-10-31

• FEATURE: vminsert and vmstorage in VictoriaMetrics cluster: introduce new RPC protocol for insert-storage communication. See this PR #9820 for details.
• FEATURE: vmalert: explicitly check response type for range queries during replay and return error on type mismatch. This change should reduce confusions like in #9779.
• FEATURE: vmctl: allow providing multiple filters for remote-read migration mode via multiple --remote-read-filter-label and --remote-read-filter-label-value flags. This is useful in order to narrow down the data being migrated by using more precise filters. See this PR #9917 for details.
• FEATURE: vmalert: support alert_relabel_configs per each notifier in -notifier.config file. See #5980.
• FEATURE: vmalert: add template function now to return the Unix timestamp in seconds at the time of the template evaluation. For example, {{ (now | toTime).Sub $activeAt }} can calculate duration the alert has been active. See this issue #9864 for more details. Thank you @nguu0123 for the pull request.
• FEATURE: vmalert: start groups with group.interval > 5m faster. Before, vmalert was delaying group start for random duration up to group.interval. This could significantly delay group's evaluation if their interval was set to big values. With this change, vmalert limits the max start delay via new command-line flag --group.maxStartDelay (by default, 5m).
• FEATURE: vmagent: add /remotewrite-relabel-config and /api/v1/status/remotewrite-relabel-config API handlers for returning content of --remoteWrite.relabelConfig cmd-line flag. Useful for inspecting and verifying the final global relabeling rules used by vmagent. Access to new handlers can be protected via --configAuthKey command-line flag. See #9504.
• FEATURE: vmagent: add /remotewrite-url-relabel-config and /api/v1/status/remotewrite-url-relabel-config API handlers for returning content of --remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig cmd-line flag. Useful for inspecting and verifying the final per-remote-write relabeling rules used by vmagent. Access to new handlers can be protected via --configAuthKey command-line flag. See #9504.
• FEATURE: vmagent: improve performance for the stream aggregation with multiple configured rules. See this issue #9878 for details.
• FEATURE: stream aggregation: change the behavior when both streamAggr.dropInput and streamAggr.keepInput are set to true. Previously, all input samples were kept when both flags were true. Now, only input samples matching any aggregation are retained; all others are dropped. See #9724.
• FEATURE: VictoriaMetrics enterprise: slow query statistics logging is now enabled by default with -search.logSlowQueryStats=5s. This makes it easier to analyze query performance via the Query Stats dashboard. See Query execution stats for more details.
• FEATURE: vmauth: make the load distribution more even among the backends which execute queries with various durations. See #9712.
• FEATURE: dashboards/all: enable column filters in Non-default flags panel. See #9910. Thanks to @SamarthBagga for enhancement!

• FEATURE: add linux/s390x artifact to releases. See #9697 for the details.

• BUGFIX: vmbackup, vmrestore, vmbackupmanager: complete a fix of environment variables configuration parsing for connection to AWS S3. Previously, such settings were ignored starting from v1.115.0 and releases v1.128.0, v1.122.6 and v1.110.21 did not fix an issue completely. See this issue #9858 for details.

• BUGFIX: vmalert: fix search over group names and other attributes in vmalert's WEB UI. This functionality was broken since v1.117.0. See #9886 for details.
• BUGFIX: vmalert: preserve HTML formatting in rule's annotations in vmalert's WEB UI and vmui's alerting page. See #9892 for details.
• BUGFIX vmbackupmanager: consistently set vm_backup_last_created_at{type="latest"} to the latest backup start time.
• BUGFIX: vmbackupmanager: prevent breaking shell formatting when using vmbackupmanager CLI mode by adding a newline after the command output. Previously, using CLI mode would not always include newline at the end of output, which could break shell formatting.
