5a50df3f61 lib/storage: increase rotation time for daily metricID cache
This is follow-up for c5713a09d3

Originally, dateMetricID cache was fully rotate every 20 minutes. It
made daily-index pre-creation less efficient and caused CPU usage spikes
for index records lookup at midnight.

storage pre-fills index records for the next day in 1 hour before night.
But this rotation made only last 20 minutes before midnight visible in
the cache.

 This commit changes rotation period from 20 minutes to 2 hours ( 1 hour
 tick interval). While
it could slighlty increase cache memory usage ( in practice it shouldn't
be noticeable). It prevents from CPU usage spikes.

7860825392 lib/storage: properly search for LabelNames and LabelValues
Issue was introduced at d6ef8a807b commit.

Due to variable shadowing, if filter matched more than 100_000 metricIDs, it's fallback to the indexDB scan.
But because of type, `filter` value was not properly updated. And it triggered incorrect results.

 This commit fixes this typo and adds test to verify this case.

d5170723ea lib/storage: prefer numerical values over stale markers when samples share the same timestamp during deduplication
Fixes https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10196

Prefer the non StaleNaN  value when both StaleNaN and non-StaleNaN samples share the timestamp during deduplication(downsampling). The scenario can occur when:
1. Multiple vmagent instances scrape the same target(without -promscrape.cluster.name flag), one instance fails to scrape due to issues such as network, while others succeed.
2. Multiple vmalert instances evaluate the same recording rule, with one instance receiving a partial response while others receive a complete response.

In both cases, since the samples share the same timestamp and represent the metric state at that moment,
the non-StaleNaN value is entirely valid, whereas the StaleNaN could be caused by other unknown issues.
Therefore, it is reasonable to prioritize the non-StaleNaN value.

2b9e197cfb vmselect: use the last 20 raw samples to auto-calculate the lookbehind during range query
Previously, the first 20 raw samples were used for calculation.
But compare to the first 20 samples, the last 20 samples represent the latest state of the metrics,
so the lookbehind window calculated from them should be more accurate when applied to the most recent samples,
resulting in better query results for recent time ranges.

For example,if the scrape interval changes at day4, and the query range is set to last 7 days.
Applying the window derived from the first 20 samples(the old scrape interval) to new samples could result in consistently incorrect results from day4 through day11.
Conversely, applying the window derived from the last 20 samples (the new scrape interval) could lead to incorrect results for [day0-day4),
which are old states and generally less important.

This pull request does not address any specific bug, but change the general behavior, so there is no changelog.

Inspired by https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10280, but not the fix for https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10280.

036ed2f6f1 app/vmstorage: reduce default value for storage.vminsertConnsShutdownDuration
This commit reduces default value for
`storage.vminsertConnsShutdownDuration` flag from `25s` to `10s`
seconds.
This change should help to reduce probability of ungraceful storage
shutdown at Kubernetes based environments, which has 30 seconds default
graceful termination period value (terminationGracePeriodSeconds).

fdbf07e52d app/vmui: fix tenant ID handling via URL path (#10287)
**Problem**

* VMUI had two tenant ID sources:

  * URL path: `/select/<accountID>/vmui/`
  * Query param: `tenantID`
* These could differ, causing confusion and inconsistent behavior.

**Solution**

* Removed the legacy `tenantID` query parameter.
* Use the URL path as the single source of truth for tenant ID.
* Changing the tenant in the UI now updates the URL path.

e338c6f5dc docs: Add docs-update-flags step to release. (#10284)
### Describe Your Changes

Previously, we had to manually update flags in documentation whenever we
made flag-related changes in source code. Someone did it by hand, others
compiled enterprise binaries, executed them with `-help` flag, and
copied and pasted output to the documentation.

In https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/9632 a
command `make docs-update-flags` was introduced. It automates the whole
process. It compiles binaries, runs `-help,` and syncs output to changes
automatically.

Now, we can **omit updating doc flags in the PR** and do it once before
releasing a new version.

428b9d9fa6 dashboards: Enhance VictoriaMetrics - single-node dashboard stats raw. (#10260)
### Describe Your Changes

Currently, the stats are small and hard to read (see screenshot in the
PR). In addition, the version and uptime panels work well for a single
vmsingle, but become inconvenient when multiple instances are present,
since only one is visible.

This PR changes the version and uptime panels from single stat to time
series, aligning them with the VictoriaMetrics – cluster dashboard. It
also enlarges the remaining stats so the values are easier to read,
consistent with the cluster dashboard (see screenshot in the PR).

2a106e491d vmalert: skip alert annotation templating in replay mode
In alerting rules, annotations are only attached to alert messages that
are sent to the notifier (such as Alertmanager). These annotations
typically contain human-readable information, such as instructions for
resolving the alert.

In [replay
mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmalert/#rules-backfilling),
vmalert does not send alert messages to the notifier at all(no notifier
is configured), as these alerts are outdated. Therefore, it does not
need to template the annotations in this mode.

30d264cf78 vmselect: expose vm_rollup_result_cache_requests_total metric
which tracks the number of requests to the query rollup cache

As described in
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10117, when
retrieving cached data from the rollup result cache, there can be mixed
`get()` and `getBig()` calls to the underlaying fastcache. And it's
unpredictable how many times `getBig()` will call `get()`, so the
metrics from fastcache cannot be used to indicate query cache miss
ratio.
Exposing a new counter `vm_rollup_result_cache_requests_total` to track
the number of requests to the query rollup cache, together with the
existing `vm_rollup_result_cache_miss_total`, allows for monitoring the
rollup cache miss rate per query (or subquery), which is more
user-facing.

### Describe Your Changes

Refer to [curl docs](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--data).

> When --data is told to read from a file like that, carriage returns,
newlines and null bytes are stripped out

If users import multiple lines of data in file via `/api/v2/write`, he
may follow the example we gave to use `-d` to instruct curl, then
newlines will be stripped out, hence the parse error in VictoriaMetrics.

It's not VictoriaMetrics' bug, but it will be better to guide users to
use `--data-binary` just like how
[/api/v1/import](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/url-examples/#apiv1import)
did.
