so load balancers in front of the http server could re-route incoming requests
to other servers.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
+level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+ advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+ address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at info@victoriametrics.com. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4,
+available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
+

CONTRIBUTING.md

@@ -0,0 +1,16 @@
+If you like VictoriaMetrics and want to contribute, then we need the following:
+
+- Filing issues and feature requests [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues).
+- Spreading a word about VictoriaMetrics: conference talks, articles, comments, experience sharing with colleagues.
+- Updating documentation.
+
+We are open to third-party pull requests provided they follow [KISS design principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle):
+
+- Prefer simple code and architecture.
+- Avoid complex abstractions.
+- Avoid magic code and fancy algorithms.
+- Avoid [big external dependencies](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d).
+- Minimize the number of moving parts in the distributed system.
+- Avoid automated decisions, which may hurt cluster availability, consistency or performance.
+
+Adhering `KISS` principle simplifies the resulting code and architecture, so it can be reviewed, understood and verified by many people.

+## vmagent
+
+`vmagent` is a tiny but brave agent, which helps you collecting metrics from various sources
+and storing them to [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics)
+or any other Prometheus-compatible storage system that supports `remote_write` protocol.
+
+<img alt="vmagent" src="vmagent.png">
+
+
+### Motivation
+
+While VictoriaMetrics provides an efficient solution to store and observe metrics, our users needed something fast
+and RAM friendly to scrape metrics from Prometheus-compatible exporters to VictoriaMetrics.
+Also, we found that users’ infrastructure is like snowflakes - never alike, and we decided to add more flexibility
+to `vmagent` (like the ability to push metrics instead of pulling them). We did our best and plan to do even more.
+
+
+### Features
+
+* Can be used as drop-in replacement for Prometheus for scraping targets such as [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter).
+  See [Quick Start](#quick-start) for details.
+* Can add, remove and modify labels (aka tags) via Prometheus relabeling. Can filter data before sending it to remote storage. See [these docs](#relabeling) for details.
+* Accepts data via all the ingestion protocols supported by VictoriaMetrics:
+  * Influx line protocol via `http://<vmagent>:8429/write`. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-send-data-from-influxdb-compatible-agents-such-as-telegraf).
+  * Graphite plaintext protocol if `-graphiteListenAddr` command-line flag is set. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-send-data-from-graphite-compatible-agents-such-as-statsd).
+  * OpenTSDB telnet and http protocols if `-opentsdbListenAddr` command-line flag is set. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-send-data-from-opentsdb-compatible-agents).
+  * Prometheus remote write protocol via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/write`.
+  * JSON lines import protocol via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/import`. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-import-time-series-data).
+  * Arbitrary CSV data via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/import/csv`. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-import-csv-data).
+* Can replicate collected metrics simultaneously to multiple remote storage systems.
+* Works in environments with unstable connections to remote storage. If the remote storage is unavailable, the collected metrics
+  are buffered at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath`. The buffered metrics are sent to remote storage as soon as connection
+  to remote storage is recovered. The maximum disk usage for the buffer can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`.
+* Uses lower amounts of RAM, CPU, disk IO and network bandwidth comparing to Prometheus.
+
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Just download `vmutils-*` archive from [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases), unpack it
+and pass the following flags to `vmagent` binary in order to start scraping Prometheus targets:
+
+* `-promscrape.config` with the path to Prometheus config file (it is usually located at `/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml`)
+* `-remoteWrite.url` with the remote storage endpoint such as VictoriaMetrics. Multiple `-remoteWrite.url` args can be set in parallel
+  in order to replicate data concurrently to multiple remote storage systems.
+
+Example command line:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.config=/path/to/prometheus.yml -remoteWrite.url=https://victoria-metrics-host:8428/api/v1/write
+```
+
+If you need collecting only Influx data, then the following command line would be enough:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -remoteWrite.url=https://victoria-metrics-host:8428/api/v1/write
+```
+
+Then send Influx data to `http://vmagent-host:8429`. See [these docs](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-send-data-from-influxdb-compatible-agents-such-as-telegraf) for more details.
+
+`vmagent` is also available in [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmagent/tags).
+
+Pass `-help` to `vmagent` in order to see the full list of supported command-line flags with their descriptions.
+
+
+### Use cases
+
+
+#### IoT and Edge monitoring
+
+`vmagent` can run and collect metrics in IoT and industrial networks with unreliable or scheduled connections to the remote storage.
+It buffers the collected data in local files until the connection to remote storage becomes available and then sends the buffered
+data to the remote storage. It re-tries sending the data to remote storage on any errors.
+The maximum buffer size can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`.
+
+`vmagent` works on various architectures from IoT world - 32-bit arm, 64-bit arm, ppc64, 386, amd64.
+See [the corresponding Makefile rules](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmagent/Makefile) for details.
+
+
+#### Drop-in replacement for Prometheus
+
+If you use Prometheus only for scraping metrics from various targets and forwarding these metrics to remote storage,
+then `vmagent` can replace such Prometheus setup. Usually `vmagent` requires lower amounts of RAM, CPU and network bandwidth comparing to Prometheus for such setup.
+See [these docs](#how-to-collect-metrics-in-prometheus-format) for details.
+
+
+#### Replication and high availability
+
+`vmagent` replicates the collected metrics among multiple remote storage instances configured via `-remoteWrite.url` args.
+If a single remote storage instance temporarily goes out of service, then the collected data remains available in another remote storage instances.
+`vmagent` buffers the collected data in files at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath` until the remote storage becomes available again.
+Then it sends the buffered data to the remote storage in order to prevent data gaps in the remote storage.
+
+
+#### Relabeling and filtering
+
+`vmagent` can add, remove or update labels on the collected data before sending it to remote storage. Additionally,
+it can remove unneeded samples via Prometheus-like relabeling before sending the collected data to remote storage.
+See [these docs](#relabeling) for details.
+
+
+#### Splitting data streams among multiple systems
+
+`vmagent` supports splitting of the collected data among muliple destinations with the help of `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`,
+which is applied independently for each configured `-remoteWrite.url` destination. For instance, it is possible to replicate or split
+data among long-term remote storage, short-term remote storage and real-time analytical system [built on top of Kafka](https://github.com/Telefonica/prometheus-kafka-adapter).
+Note that each destination can receive its own subset of the collected data thanks to per-destination relabeling via `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`.
+
+
+#### Prometheus remote_write proxy
+
+`vmagent` may be used as a proxy for Prometheus data sent via Prometheus `remote_write` protocol. It can accept data via `remote_write` API
+at `/api/v1/write` endpoint, apply relabeling and filtering and then proxy it to another `remote_write` systems.
+The `vmagent` can be configured to encrypt the incoming `remote_write` requests with `-tls*` command-line flags.
+Additionally, Basic Auth can be enabled for the incoming `remote_write` requests with `-httpAuth.*` command-line flags.
+
+
+
+### How to collect metrics in Prometheus format
+
+Pass the path to `prometheus.yml` to `-promscrape.config` command-line flag. `vmagent` takes into account the following
+sections from [Prometheus config file](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/):
+
+* `global`
+* `scrape_configs`
+
+All the other sections are ignored, including [remote_write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write) section.
+Use `-remoteWrite.*` command-line flags instead for configuring remote write settings.
+
+The following scrape types in [scrape_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config) section are supported:
+
+* `static_configs` - for scraping statically defined targets. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#static_config) for details.
+* `file_sd_configs` - for scraping targets defined in external files aka file-based service discover.
+  See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#file_sd_config) for details.
+* `kubernetes_sd_configs` - for scraping targets in Kubernetes (k8s).
+  See [kubernetes_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#kubernetes_sd_config) for details.
+* `ec2_sd_configs` - for scraping targets in Amazon EC2.
+  See [ec2_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#ec2_sd_config) for details.
+  `vmagent` doesn't support `role_arn` config param yet.
+* `gce_sd_configs` - for scraping targets in Google Compute Engine (GCE).
+  See [gce_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#gce_sd_config) for details.
+  `vmagent` provides the following additional functionality for `gce_sd_config`:
+  * if `project` arg is missing, then `vmagent` uses the project for the instance where it runs;
+  * if `zone` arg is missing, then `vmagent` uses the zone for the instance where it runs;
+  * if `zone` arg equals to `"*"`, then `vmagent` discovers all the zones for the given project;
+  * `zone` may contain arbitrary number of zones, i.e. `zone: [us-east1-a, us-east1-b]`.
+* `consul_sd_configs` - for scraping targets registered in Consul.
+  See [consul_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#consul_sd_config) for details.
+* `dns_sd_configs` - for scraping targets discovered from DNS records (SRV, A and AAAA).
+  See [dns_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#dns_sd_config) for details.
+
+
+File feature requests at [our issue tracker](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues) if you need other service discovery mechanisms to be supported by `vmagent`.
+
+
+### Adding labels to metrics
+
+Labels can be added to metrics via the following mechanisms:
+
+* Via `global -> external_labels` section in `-promscrape.config` file. These labels are added only to metrics scraped from targets configured in `-promscrape.config` file.
+* Via `-remoteWrite.label` command-line flag. These labels are added to all the collected metrics before sending them to `-remoteWrite.url`.
+
+
+### Relabeling
+
+`vmagent` supports [Prometheus relabeling](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#relabel_config).
+Additionally it provides the following extra actions:
+
+* `replace_all`: replaces all the occurences of `regex` in the values of `source_labels` with the `replacement` and stores the result in the `target_label`.
+* `labelmap_all`: replaces all the occurences of `regex` in all the label names with the `replacement`.
+
+The relabeling can be defined in the following places:
+
+* At `scrape_config -> relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to target labels.
+* At `scrape_config -> metric_relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to all the scraped metrics in the given `scrape_config`.
+* At `-remoteWrite.relabelConfig` file. This relabeling is aplied to all the collected metrics before sending them to remote storage.
+* At `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig` files. This relabeling is applied to metrics before sending them to the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url`.
+
+Read more about relabeling in the following articles:
+
+* [Life of a label](https://www.robustperception.io/life-of-a-label)
+* [Discarding targets and timeseries with relabeling](https://www.robustperception.io/relabelling-can-discard-targets-timeseries-and-alerts)
+* [Dropping labels at scrape time](https://www.robustperception.io/dropping-metrics-at-scrape-time-with-prometheus)
+* [Extracting labels from legacy metric names](https://www.robustperception.io/extracting-labels-from-legacy-metric-names)
+* [relabel_configs vs metric_relabel_configs](https://www.robustperception.io/relabel_configs-vs-metric_relabel_configs)
+
+
+### Monitoring
+
+`vmagent` exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page. It is recommended setting up regular scraping of this page
+either via `vmagent` itself or via Prometheus, so the exported metrics could be analyzed later.
+
+`vmagent` also exports target statuses at `http://vmagent-host:8429/targets` page in plaintext format.
+
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+* It is recommended increasing the maximum number of open files in the system (`ulimit -n`) when scraping big number of targets,
+  since `vmagent` establishes at least a single TCP connection per each target.
+
+* When `vmagent` scrapes many unreliable targets, it can flood error log with scrape errors. These errors can be suppressed
+  by passing `-promscrape.suppressScrapeErrors` command-line flag to `vmagent`. The most recent scrape error per each target can be observed at `http://vmagent-host:8429/targets`.
+
+* It is recommended increasing `-remoteWrite.queues` if `vmagent` collects more than 100K samples per second
+  and `vmagent_remotewrite_pending_data_bytes` metric exported at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page constantly grows.
+
+* `vmagent` buffers scraped data at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath` directory until it is sent to `-remoteWrite.url`.
+  The directory can grow big when remote storage is unavailable during extended periods of time and if `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL` isn't set.
+  If you don't want sending all the data from the directory to remote storage, just stop `vmagent` and delete the directory.
+
+
+### How to build from sources
+
+It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - `vmagent` is located in `vmutils-*` archives there.
+
+
+#### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.13.
+2. Run `make vmagent` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmagent` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Production build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmagent-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmagent-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Building docker images
+
+Run `make package-vmagent`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmagent:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
+`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmagent`.
+
+By default the image is built on top of `scratch` image. It is possible to build the package on top of any other base image
+by setting it via `<ROOT_IMAGE>` environment variable. For example, the following command builds the image on top of `alpine:3.11` image:
+
+```bash
+ROOT_IMAGE=alpine:3.11 make package-vmagent
+```
+
+
+### Profiling
+
+`vmagent` provides handlers for collecting the following [Go profiles](https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs):
+
+* Memory profile. It can be collected with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<vmagent-host>:8429/debug/pprof/heap > mem.pprof
+```
+
+* CPU profile. It can be collected with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<vmagent-host>:8429/debug/pprof/profile > cpu.pprof
+```
+
+The command for collecting CPU profile waits for 30 seconds before returning.
+
+The collected profiles may be analyzed with [go tool pprof](https://github.com/google/pprof).

+## VM Alert
+
+`vmalert` executes a list of given MetricsQL expressions (rules) and
+sends alerts to [Alert Manager](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager).   
+
+### Features:
+* Integration with [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics) TSDB;
+* VictoriaMetrics [MetricsQL](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/wiki/MetricsQL)
+ expressions validation;
+* Prometheus [alerting rules definition format](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/#defining-alerting-rules)
+ support;
+* Integration with [Alertmanager](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager);
+* Lightweight without extra dependencies.
+
+### TODO:
+* Configuration hot reload.
+
+### QuickStart
+
+To build `vmalert` from sources:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics
+cd VictoriaMetrics
+make vmalert
+```
+The build binary will be placed to `VictoriaMetrics/bin` folder.
+
+To start using `vmalert` you will need the following things:
+* list of alert rules - PromQL/MetricsQL expressions to execute;
+* datasource address - reachable VictoriaMetrics instance for rules execution;
+* notifier address - reachable Alertmanager instance for processing, 
+aggregating alerts and sending notifications.
+
+Then configure `vmalert` accordingly:
+```
+./bin/vmalert -rule=alert.rules \
+		-datasource.url=http://localhost:8428 \
+        -notifier.url=http://localhost:9093
+```
+
+Example for `.rules` file may be found [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmalert/testdata/rules0-good.rules)
+
+`vmalert` runs evaluation for every group in a separate goroutine.
+Rules in group evaluated one-by-one sequentially. 
+
+`vmalert` also runs a web-server (`-httpListenAddr`) for serving metrics and alerts endpoints:
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/api/v1/alerts` - list of all active alerts;
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/api/v1/<groupName>/<alertID>/status" ` - get alert status by ID.
+Used as alert source in AlertManager.
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/metrics` - application metrics.
+
+`vmalert` may be configured with `-remotewrite` flag to write alerts state in form of timeseries
+via remote write protocol. Alerts state will be written as `ALERTS` timeseries. These timeseries
+may be used to recover alerts state on `vmalert` restarts if `-remoteread` is configured.
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+The shortlist of configuration flags is the following:
+```
+Usage of vmalert:
+  -datasource.basicAuth.password string
+        Optional basic auth password for -datasource.url
+  -datasource.basicAuth.username string
+        Optional basic auth username for -datasource.url
+  -datasource.url string
+        Victoria Metrics or VMSelect url. Required parameter. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
+  -enableTCP6
+        Whether to enable IPv6 for listening and dialing. By default only IPv4 TCP is used
+  -evaluationInterval duration
+        How often to evaluate the rules. Default 1m (default 1m0s)
+  -external.url string
+        External URL is used as alert's source for sent alerts to the notifier
+  -http.maxGracefulShutdownDuration duration
+        The maximum duration for graceful shutdown of HTTP server. Highly loaded server may require increased value for graceful shutdown (default 7s)
+  -httpAuth.password string
+        Password for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if -httpAuth.username is empty
+  -httpAuth.username string
+        Username for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if empty. See also -httpAuth.password
+  -httpListenAddr string
+        Address to listen for http connections (default ":8880")
+  -notifier.url string
+        Prometheus alertmanager URL. Required parameter. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9093
+  -remoteread.basicAuth.password string
+        Optional basic auth password for -remoteread.url
+  -remoteread.basicAuth.username string
+        Optional basic auth username for -remoteread.url
+  -remoteread.lookback duration
+        Lookback defines how far to look into past for alerts timeseries. For example, if lookback=1h then range from now() to now()-1h will be scanned. (default 1h0m0s)
+  -remoteread.url vmalert
+        Optional URL to Victoria Metrics or VMSelect that will be used to restore alerts state. This configuration makes sense only if vmalert was configured with `remotewrite.url` before and has been successfully persisted its state. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
+  -remotewrite.basicAuth.password string
+        Optional basic auth password for -remotewrite.url
+  -remotewrite.basicAuth.username string
+        Optional basic auth username for -remotewrite.url
+  -remotewrite.url string
+        Optional URL to Victoria Metrics or VMInsert where to persist alerts state in form of timeseries. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
+  -rule value
+        Path to the file with alert rules. 
+        Supports patterns. Flag can be specified multiple times. 
+        Examples:
+         -rule /path/to/file. Path to a single file with alerting rules
+         -rule dir/*.yaml -rule /*.yaml. Relative path to all .yaml files in "dir" folder, 
+        absolute path to all .yaml files in root.
+  -rule.validateTemplates
+        Indicates to validate annotation and label templates (default true)
+```
+
+Pass `-help` to `vmalert` in order to see the full list of supported 
+command-line flags with their descriptions.

+## vmauth
+
+`vmauth` is a simple auth proxy and router for [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+It reads username and password from [Basic Auth headers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication),
+matches them against configs pointed by `-auth.config` command-line flag and proxies incoming HTTP requests to the configured per-user `url_prefix` on successful match.
+
+
+### Quick start
+
+Just download `vmutils-*` archive from [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases), unpack it
+and pass the following flag to `vmauth` binary in order to start authorizing and routing requests:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmauth -auth.config=/path/to/auth/config.yml
+```
+
+After that `vmauth` starts accepting HTTP requests on port `8427` and routing them according to the provided [-auth.config](#auth-config).
+The port can be modified via `-httpListenAddr` command-line flag.
+
+The auth config can be reloaded by passing `SIGHUP` signal to `vmauth`.
+
+Docker images for `vmauth` are available at [https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmauth/tags].
+
+Pass `-help` to `vmauth` in order to see all the supported command-line flags with their descriptions.
+
+Feel free [contacting us](mailto:info@victoriametrics.com) if you need customized auth proxy for VictoriaMetrics with the support of LDAP, SSO, RBAC, accounting, limits, etc.
+
+
+### Auth config
+
+Auth config is represented in the following simple `yml` format:
+
+```yml
+
+# Arbitrary number of usernames may be put here.
+# Usernames must be unique.
+
+users:
+
+  # The user for querying local single-node VictoriaMetrics.
+  # All the requests to http://vmauth:8427 with the given Basic Auth (username:password)
+  # will be routed to http://localhost:8428 .
+  # For example, http://vmauth:8427/api/v1/query is routed to http://localhost:8428/api/v1/query
+- username: "local-single-node"
+  password: "***"
+  url_prefix: "http://localhost:8428"
+
+  # The user for querying account 123 in VictoriaMetrics cluster
+  # See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/cluster/README.md#url-format
+  # All the requests to http://vmauth:8427 with the given Basic Auth (username:password)
+  # will be routed to http://vmselect:8481/select/123/prometheus .
+  # For example, http://vmauth:8427/api/v1/query is routed to http://vmselect:8481/select/123/prometheus/api/v1/select
+- username: "cluster-select-account-123"
+  password: "***"
+  url_prefix: "http://vmselect:8481/select/123/prometheus"
+
+  # The user for inserting Prometheus data into VictoriaMetrics cluster under account 42
+  # See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/cluster/README.md#url-format
+  # All the reuqests to http://vmauth:8427 with the given Basic Auth (username:password)
+  # will be routed to http://vminsert:8480/insert/42/prometheus .
+  # For example, http://vmauth:8427/api/v1/write is routed to http://vminsert:8480/insert/42/prometheus/api/v1/write
+- username: "cluster-insert-account-42"
+  password: "***"
+  url_prefix: "http://vminsert:8480/insert/42/prometheus"
+```
+
+
+### Security
+
+Do not transfer Basic Auth headers in plaintext over untrusted networks. Enable https. This can be done by passing the following `-tls*` command-line flags to `vmauth`:
+
+```
+  -tls
+    	Whether to enable TLS (aka HTTPS) for incoming requests. -tlsCertFile and -tlsKeyFile must be set if -tls is set
+  -tlsCertFile string
+    	Path to file with TLS certificate. Used only if -tls is set. Prefer ECDSA certs instead of RSA certs, since RSA certs are slow
+  -tlsKeyFile string
+    	Path to file with TLS key. Used only if -tls is set
+```
+
+Alternatively, [https termination proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLS_termination_proxy) may be put in front of `vmauth`.
+
+
+### Monitoring
+
+`vmauth` exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `http://vmauth-host:8427/metrics` page. It is recommended setting up regular scraping of this page
+either via [vmagent](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmagent/README.md) or via Prometheus, so the exported metrics could be analyzed later.
+
+
+### How to build from sources
+
+It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - `vmauth` is located in `vmutils-*` archives there.
+
+
+#### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.13.
+2. Run `make vmauth` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmauth` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Production build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmauth-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmauth-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Building docker images
+
+Run `make package-vmauth`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmauth:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
+`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmauth`.
+
+By default the image is built on top of `scratch` image. It is possible to build the package on top of any other base image
+by setting it via `<ROOT_IMAGE>` environment variable. For example, the following command builds the image on top of `alpine:3.11` image:
+
+```bash
+ROOT_IMAGE=alpine:3.11 make package-vmauth
+```
+
+
+### Profiling
+
+`vmauth` provides handlers for collecting the following [Go profiles](https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs):
+
+* Memory profile. It can be collected with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<vmauth-host>:8427/debug/pprof/heap > mem.pprof
+```
+
+* CPU profile. It can be collected with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<vmauth-host>:8427/debug/pprof/profile > cpu.pprof
+```
+
+The command for collecting CPU profile waits for 30 seconds before returning.
+
+The collected profiles may be analyzed with [go tool pprof](https://github.com/google/pprof).

+## vmbackup
+
+`vmbackup` creates VictoriaMetrics data backups from [instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+
+Supported storage systems for backups:
+
+* [GCS](https://cloud.google.com/storage/). Example: `gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/backup>`
+* [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/). Example: `s3://<bucket>/<path/to/backup>`
+* Any S3-compatible storage such as [MinIO](https://github.com/minio/minio), [Ceph](https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/radosgw/s3/) or [Swift](https://www.swiftstack.com/docs/admin/middleware/s3_middleware.html). See `-customS3Endpoint` command-line flag.
+* Local filesystem. Example: `fs://</absolute/path/to/backup>`
+
+Incremental backups and full backups are supported. Incremental backups are created automatically if the destination path already contains data from the previous backup.
+Full backups can be sped up with `-origin` pointing to already existing backup on the same remote storage. In this case `vmbackup` makes server-side copy for the shared
+data between the existing backup and new backup. This saves time and costs on data transfer.
+
+Backup process can be interrupted at any time. It is automatically resumed from the interruption point when restarting `vmbackup` with the same args.
+
+Backed up data can be restored with [vmrestore](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmrestore/README.md).
+
+See [this article](https://medium.com/@valyala/speeding-up-backups-for-big-time-series-databases-533c1a927883) for more details.
+
+
+### Use cases
+
+#### Regular backups
+
+Regular backup can be performed with the following command:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/new/backup>
+```
+
+* `</path/to/victoria-metrics-data>` - path to VictoriaMetrics data pointed by `-storageDataPath` command-line flag in single-node VictoriaMetrics or in cluster `vmstorage`.
+  There is no need to stop VictoriaMetrics for creating backups, since they are performed from immutable [instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+* `<local-snapshot>` is the snapshot to backup. See [how to create instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+* `<bucket>` is already existing name for [GCS bucket](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets).
+* `<path/to/new/backup>` is the destination path where new backup will be placed.
+
+
+#### Regular backups with server-side copy from existing backup
+
+If the destination GCS bucket already contains the previous backup at `-origin` path, then new backup can be sped up
+with the following command:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/new/backup> -origin=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/existing/backup>
+```
+
+This saves time and network bandwidth costs by performing server-side copy for the shared data from the `-origin` to `-dst`.
+
+
+#### Incremental backups
+
+Incremental backups are performed if `-dst` points to already existing backup. In this case only new data is uploaded to remote storage.
+This saves time and network bandwidth costs when working with big backups:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/existing/backup>
+```
+
+
+#### Smart backups
+
+Smart backups mean storing full daily backups into `YYYYMMDD` folders and creating incremental hourly backup into `latest` folder:
+
+* Run the following command every hour:
+
+```
+vmbackup -snapshotName=<latest-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/latest
+```
+
+Where `<latest-snapshot>` is the latest [snapshot](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+The command will upload only changed data to `gcs://<bucket>/latest`.
+
+* Run the following command once a day:
+
+```
+vmbackup -snapshotName=<daily-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<YYYYMMDD> -origin=gcs://<bucket>/latest
+```
+
+Where `<daily-snapshot>` is the snapshot for the last day `<YYYYMMDD>`.
+
+
+This apporach saves network bandwidth costs on hourly backups (since they are incremental) and allows recovering data from either the last hour (`latest` backup)
+or from any day (`YYYYMMDD` backups). Note that hourly backup shouldn't run when creating daily backup.
+
+Do not forget removing old snapshots and backups when they are no longer needed for saving storage costs.
+
+
+### How does it work?
+
+The backup algorithm is the following:
+
+1. Collect information about files in the `-snapshotName`, in the `-dst` and in the `-origin`.
+2. Determine files in `-dst`, which are missing in `-snapshotName`, and delete them. These are usually small files, which are already merged into bigger files in the snapshot.
+3. Determine files from `-snapshotName`, which are missing in `-dst`. These are usually small new files and bigger merged files.
+4. Determine files from step 3, which exist in the `-origin`, and perform server-side copy of these files from `-origin` to `-dst`.
+   This are usually the biggest and the oldest files, which are shared between backups.
+5. Upload the remaining files from setp 3 from `-snapshotName` to `-dst`.
+
+The algorithm splits source files into 100MB chunks in the backup. Each chunk is stored as a separate file in the backup.
+Such splitting minimizes the amounts of data to re-transfer after temporary errors.
+
+`vmbackup` relies on [instant snapshot](https://medium.com/@valyala/how-victoriametrics-makes-instant-snapshots-for-multi-terabyte-time-series-data-e1f3fb0e0282) properties:
+
+- All the files in the snapshot are immutable.
+- Old files are periodically merged into new files.
+- Smaller files have higher probability to be merged.
+- Consecutive snapshots share many identical files.
+
+These properties allow performing fast and cheap incremental backups and server-side copying from `-origin` paths.
+See [this article](https://medium.com/@valyala/speeding-up-backups-for-big-time-series-databases-533c1a927883) for more details.
+`vmbackup` can work improperly or slowly when these properties are violated.
+
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+* If the backup is slow, then try setting higher value for `-concurrency` flag. This will increase the number of concurrent workers that upload data to backup storage.
+* If `vmbackup` eats all the network bandwidth, then set `-maxBytesPerSecond` to the desired value.
+* If `vmbackup` has been interrupted due to temporary error, then just restart it with the same args. It will resume the backup process.
+
+
+### Advanced usage
+
+Run `vmbackup -help` in order to see all the available options:
+
+```
+  -concurrency int
+    	The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may reduce backup duration (default 10)
+  -configFilePath string
+    	Path to file with S3 configs. Configs are loaded from default location if not set.
+    	See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -configProfile string
+    	Profile name for S3 configs (default "default")
+  -credsFilePath string
+    	Path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set.
+    	See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -customS3Endpoint string
+    	Custom S3 endpoint for use with S3-compatible storages (e.g. MinIO). S3 is used if not set
+  -dst string
+    	Where to put the backup on the remote storage. Example: gcs://bucket/path/to/backup/dir, s3://bucket/path/to/backup/dir or fs:///path/to/local/backup/dir
+    	-dst can point to the previous backup. In this case incremental backup is performed, i.e. only changed data is uploaded
+  -envflag.enable
+    	Whether to enable reading flags from environment variables additionally to command line. Command line flag values have priority over values from environment vars. Flags are read only from command line if this flag isn't set
+  -envflag.prefix string
+    	Prefix for environment variables if -envflag.enable is set
+  -fs.disableMmap
+    	Whether to use pread() instead of mmap() for reading data files
+  -loggerFormat string
+    	Format for logs. Possible values: default, json (default "default")
+  -loggerLevel string
+    	Minimum level of errors to log. Possible values: INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (default "INFO")
+  -loggerOutput string
+    	Output for the logs. Supported values: stderr, stdout (default "stderr")
+  -maxBytesPerSecond int
+    	The maximum upload speed. There is no limit if it is set to 0
+  -memory.allowedPercent float
+    	Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. Too low value may increase cache miss rate, which usually results in higher CPU and disk IO usage. Too high value may evict too much data from OS page cache, which will result in higher disk IO usage (default 60)
+  -origin string
+    	Optional origin directory on the remote storage with old backup for server-side copying when performing full backup. This speeds up full backups
+  -snapshot.createURL string
+    	VictoriaMetrics create snapshot url. When this is given a snapshot will automatically be created during backup.Example: http://victoriametrics:8428/snaphsot/create
+  -snapshot.deleteURL string
+    	VictoriaMetrics delete snapshot url. Optional. Will be generated from snapshotCreateURL if not provided. All created snaphosts will be automatically deleted.Example: http://victoriametrics:8428/snaphsot/delete
+  -snapshotName string
+    	Name for the snapshot to backup. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots
+  -storageDataPath string
+    	Path to VictoriaMetrics data. Must match -storageDataPath from VictoriaMetrics or vmstorage (default "victoria-metrics-data")
+  -version
+    	Show VictoriaMetrics version
+```
+
+
+### How to build from sources
+
+It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - see `vmutils-*` archives there.
+
+
+#### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.13.
+2. Run `make vmbackup` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmbackup` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Production build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmbackup-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmbackup-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Building docker images
+
+Run `make package-vmbackup`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmbackup:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
+`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmbackup`.
+
+By default the image is built on top of `scratch` image. It is possible to build the package on top of any other base image
+by setting it via `<ROOT_IMAGE>` environment variable. For example, the following command builds the image on top of `alpine:3.11` image:
+
+```bash
+ROOT_IMAGE=alpine:3.11 make package-vmbackup
+```
