+# 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 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 for 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

+
+# Кодекс Поведения участника
+
+## Наши обязательства
+
+Мы, как участники, авторы и лидеры обязуемся сделать участие в сообществе
+свободным от притеснений для всех, независимо от возраста, телосложения,
+видимых или невидимых ограничений способности, этнической принадлежности,
+половых признаков, гендерной идентичности и выражения, уровня опыта,
+образования, социо-экономического статуса, национальности, внешности,
+расы, религии, или сексуальной идентичности и ориентации.
+
+Мы обещаем действовать и взаимодействовать таким образом, чтобы вносить вклад в открытое,
+дружелюбное, многообразное, инклюзивное и здоровое сообщество.
+
+## Наши стандарты
+
+Примеры поведения, создающие условия для благоприятных взаимоотношений включают в себя:
+
+* Проявление доброты и эмпатии к другим участникам проекта
+* Уважение к чужой точке зрения и опыту
+* Конструктивная критика и принятие конструктивной критики
+* Принятие ответственности, принесение извинений тем, кто пострадал от наших ошибок
+  и извлечение уроков из опыта
+* Ориентирование на то, что лучше подходит для сообщества, а не только для нас лично
+
+Примеры неприемлемого поведения участников включают в себя:
+
+* Использование выражений или изображений сексуального характера и нежелательное сексуальное внимание или домогательство в любой форме
+* Троллинг, оскорбительные или уничижительные комментарии, переход на личности или затрагивание политических убеждений
+* Публичное или приватное домогательство
+* Публикация личной информации других лиц, например, физического или электронного адреса, без явного разрешения
+* Иное поведение, которое обоснованно считать неуместным в профессиональной обстановке
+
+## Обязанности
+
+Лидеры сообщества отвечают за разъяснение и применение наших стандартов приемлемого
+поведения и будут предпринимать соответствующие и честные меры по исправлению положения
+в ответ на любое поведение, которое они сочтут неприемлемым, угрожающим, оскорбительным или вредным.
+
+Лидеры сообщества обладают правом и обязанностью удалять, редактировать или отклонять
+комментарии, коммиты, код, изменения в вики, вопросы и другой вклад, который не совпадает
+с Кодексом Поведения, и предоставят причины принятого решения, когда сочтут нужным.
+
+## Область применения
+
+Данный Кодекс Поведения применим во всех во всех публичных физических и цифровых пространства сообщества,
+а также когда человек официально представляет сообщество в публичных местах.
+Примеры представления проекта или сообщества включают использование официальной электронной почты,
+публикации в официальном аккаунте в социальных сетях,
+или упоминания как представителя в онлайн или оффлайн мероприятии.
+
+## Приведение в исполнение
+
+О случаях домогательства, а так же оскорбительного или иного другого неприемлемого
+поведения можно сообщить ответственным лидерам сообщества с помощью письма на info@victoriametrics.com
+Все жалобы будут рассмотрены и расследованы оперативно и беспристрастно.
+
+Все лидеры сообщества обязаны уважать неприкосновенность частной жизни и личную
+неприкосновенность автора сообщения.
+
+## Руководство по исполнению
+
+Лидеры сообщества будут следовать следующим Принципам Воздействия в Сообществе,
+чтобы определить последствия для тех, кого они считают виновными в нарушении данного Кодекса Поведения:
+
+### 1. Исправление
+
+**Общественное влияние**: Использование недопустимой лексики или другое поведение,
+считающиеся непрофессиональным или нежелательным в сообществе.
+
+**Последствия**: Личное, письменное предупреждение от лидеров сообщества,
+объясняющее суть нарушения и почему такое поведение
+было неуместно. Лидеры сообщества могут попросить принести публичное извинение.
+
+### 2. Предупреждение
+
+**Общественное влияние**: Нарушение в результате одного инцидента или серии действий.
+
+**Последствия**: Предупреждение о последствиях в случае продолжающегося неуместного поведения.
+На определенное время не допускается взаимодействие с людьми, вовлеченными в инцидент,
+включая незапрошенное взаимодействие 
+с теми, кто обеспечивает соблюдение Кодекса. Это включает в себя избегание взаимодействия
+в публичных пространствах, а так же во внешних каналах,
+таких как социальные сети. Нарушение этих правил влечет за собой временный или вечный бан.
+
+### 3. Временный бан
+
+**Общественное влияние**: Серьёзное нарушение стандартов сообщества,
+включая продолжительное неуместное поведение.
+
+**Последствия**: Временный запрет (бан) на любое взаимодействие 
+или публичное общение с сообществом на определенный период времени.
+На этот период не допускается публичное или личное взаимодействие с людьми,
+вовлеченными в инцидент, включая незапрошенное взаимодействие 
+с теми, кто обеспечивает соблюдение Кодекса.
+Нарушение этих правил влечет за собой вечный бан.
+
+### 4. Вечный бан
+
+**Общественное влияние**: Демонстрация систематических нарушений стандартов сообщества,
+включая продолжающееся неуместное поведение, домогательство до отдельных лиц,
+или проявление агрессии либо пренебрежительного отношения к категориям лиц.
+
+**Последствия**: Вечный запрет на любое публичное взаимодействие с сообществом.
+
+## Атрибуция
+
+Данный Кодекс Поведения основан на [Кодекс Поведения участника][homepage],
+версии 2.0, доступной по адресу
+https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html.
+
+Принципы Воздействия в Сообществе были вдохновлены [Mozilla's code of conduct
+enforcement ladder](https://github.com/mozilla/diversity).

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 mighty agent which helps you collect metrics from various sources
+and store them in [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics)
+or any other Prometheus-compatible storage systems that support the `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 into VictoriaMetrics.
+Also, we found that our user's infrastructure are like snowflakes in that no two are alike. Therefore we decided to add more flexibility
+to `vmagent` such as the ability to push metrics instead of pulling them. We did our best and will continue to improve vmagent.
+
+
+## Features
+
+* Can be used as a 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 read data from Kafka. See [these docs](#reading-metrics-from-kafka).
+* Can write data to Kafka. See [these docs](#writing-metrics-to-kafka).
+* 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 ingestion protocols supported by VictoriaMetrics:
+  * DataDog "submit metrics" API. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-send-data-from-datadog-agent).
+  * InfluxDB line protocol via `http://<vmagent>:8429/write`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#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://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#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://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#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://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-import-data-in-json-line-format).
+  * Native data import protocol via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/import/native`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-import-data-in-native-format).
+  * Prometheus exposition format via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/import/prometheus`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-import-data-in-prometheus-exposition-format) for details.
+  * Arbitrary CSV data via `http://<vmagent>:8429/api/v1/import/csv`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-import-csv-data).
+* Can replicate collected metrics simultaneously to multiple remote storage systems.
+* Works smoothly 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 the connection
+  to the remote storage is repaired. The maximum disk usage for the buffer can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`.
+* Uses lower amounts of RAM, CPU, disk IO and network bandwidth compared with Prometheus.
+* Scrape targets can be spread among multiple `vmagent` instances when big number of targets must be scraped. See [these docs](#scraping-big-number-of-targets).
+* Can efficiently scrape targets that expose millions of time series such as [/federate endpoint in Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/federation/). See [these docs](#stream-parsing-mode).
+* Can deal with [high cardinality](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-cardinality) and [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate) issues by limiting the number of unique time series at scrape time and before sending them to remote storage systems. See [these docs](#cardinality-limiter).
+* Can load scrape configs from multiple files. See [these docs](#loading-scrape-configs-from-multiple-files).
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Please download `vmutils-*` archive from [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases), unpack it
+and configure the following flags to the `vmagent` binary in order to start scraping Prometheus targets:
+
+* `-promscrape.config` with the path to Prometheus config file (usually located at `/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml`)
+* `-remoteWrite.url` with the remote storage endpoint such as VictoriaMetrics, the `-remoteWrite.url` argument can be specified multiple times to replicate data concurrently to an arbitrary number of 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 only need to collect InfluxDB data, then the following command is sufficient:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -remoteWrite.url=https://victoria-metrics-host:8428/api/v1/write
+```
+
+Then send InfluxDB data to `http://vmagent-host:8429`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#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](#advanced-usage).
+
+
+## Configuration update
+
+`vmagent` should be restarted in order to update config options set via command-line args.
+
+`vmagent` supports multiple approaches for reloading configs from updated config files such as `-promscrape.config`, `-remoteWrite.relabelConfig` and `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`:
+
+* Sending `SUGHUP` signal to `vmagent` process:
+  ```bash
+  kill -SIGHUP `pidof vmagent`
+  ```
+
+* Sending HTTP request to `http://vmagent:8429/-/reload` endpoint.
+
+There is also `-promscrape.configCheckInterval` command-line option, which can be used for automatic reloading configs from updated `-promscrape.config` file.
+
+
+## Use cases
+
+
+### IoT and Edge monitoring
+
+`vmagent` can run and collect metrics in IoT and industrial networks with unreliable or scheduled connections to their 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 until any errors are resolved.
+The maximum buffer size can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`.
+
+`vmagent` works on various architectures from the 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 those metrics to remote storage
+then `vmagent` can replace Prometheus. Typically, `vmagent` requires lower amounts of RAM, CPU and network bandwidth compared with Prometheus.
+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 is out of service, then the collected data remains available in another remote storage instance.
+`vmagent` buffers the collected data in files at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath` until the remote storage becomes available again and then it sends the buffered data to the remote storage in order to prevent data gaps.
+
+
+### Relabeling and filtering
+
+`vmagent` can add, remove or update labels on the collected data before sending it to the remote storage. Additionally,
+it can remove unwanted samples via Prometheus-like relabeling before sending the collected data to remote storage.
+Please see [these docs](#relabeling) for details.
+
+
+### Splitting data streams among multiple systems
+
+`vmagent` supports splitting the collected data between muliple destinations with the help of `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`,
+which is applied independently for each configured `-remoteWrite.url` destination. For example, it is possible to replicate or split
+data among long-term remote storage, short-term remote storage and a real-time analytical system [built on top of Kafka](https://github.com/Telefonica/prometheus-kafka-adapter).
+Note that each destination can receive it's own subset of the collected data due to per-destination relabeling via `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`.
+
+
+### Prometheus remote_write proxy
+
+`vmagent` can be used as a proxy for Prometheus data sent via Prometheus `remote_write` protocol. It can accept data via the `remote_write` API
+at the`/api/v1/write` endpoint. Then apply relabeling and filtering and proxy it to another `remote_write` system .
+The `vmagent` can be configured to encrypt the incoming `remote_write` requests with `-tls*` command-line flags.
+Also, Basic Auth can be enabled for the incoming `remote_write` requests with `-httpAuth.*` command-line flags.
+
+
+### remote_write for clustered version
+
+While `vmagent` can accept data in several supported protocols (OpenTSDB, Influx, Prometheus, Graphite) and scrape data from various targets, writes are always peformed in Promethes remote_write protocol. Therefore for the [clustered version](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html), `-remoteWrite.url` the command-line flag should be configured as `<schema>://<vminsert-host>:8480/insert/<accountID>/prometheus/api/v1/write` according to [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#url-format). There is also support for multitenant writes. See [these docs](#multitenancy).
+
+## Multitenancy
+
+By default `vmagent` collects the data without tenant identifiers and routes it to the configured `-remoteWrite.url`. But it can accept multitenant data if `-remoteWrite.multitenantURL` is set. In this case it accepts multitenant data at `http://vmagent:8429/insert/<accountID>/...` in the same way as cluster version of VictoriaMetrics does according to [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#url-format) and routes it to `<-remoteWrite.multitenantURL>/insert/<accountID>/prometheus/api/v1/write`. If multiple `-remoteWrite.multitenantURL` command-line options are set, then `vmagent` replicates the collected data across all the configured urls. This allows using a single `vmagent` instance in front of VictoriaMetrics clusters for processing the data from all the tenants.
+
+
+## How to collect metrics in Prometheus format
+
+Specify the path to `prometheus.yml` file via `-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 other sections are ignored, including the [remote_write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write) section.
+Use `-remoteWrite.*` command-line flag 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` - is for scraping statically defined targets. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#static_config) for details.
+* `file_sd_configs` - is 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` - is 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 the `profile` config param yet.
+* `gce_sd_configs` - is 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 is equal to `"*"`, then `vmagent` discovers all the zones for the given project;
+  * `zone` may contain an arbitrary number of zones, i.e. `zone: [us-east1-a, us-east1-b]`.
+* `consul_sd_configs` - is for scraping the targets registered in Consul.
+  See [consul_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#consul_sd_config) for details.
+* `dns_sd_configs` - is 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.
+* `openstack_sd_configs` - is for scraping OpenStack targets.
+  See [openstack_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#openstack_sd_config) for details.
+  [OpenStack identity API v3](https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/identity/v3/) is supported only.
+* `docker_sd_configs` - is for scraping Docker targets.
+  See [docker_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#docker_sd_config) for details.
+* `dockerswarm_sd_configs` - is for scraping Docker Swarm targets.
+  See [dockerswarm_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#dockerswarm_sd_config) for details.
+* `eureka_sd_configs` - is for scraping targets registered in [Netflix Eureka](https://github.com/Netflix/eureka).
+  See [eureka_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#eureka_sd_config) for details.
+* `digitalocean_sd_configs` is for scraping targerts registered in [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/)
+  See [digitalocean_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#digitalocean_sd_config) for details.
+* `http_sd_configs` is for scraping targerts registered in http service discovery.
+  See [http_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#http_sd_config) for details.
+
+Please file feature requests to [our issue tracker](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues) if you need other service discovery mechanisms to be supported by `vmagent`.
+
+`vmagent` also support the following additional options in `scrape_configs` section:
+
+* `disable_compression: true` - to disable response compression on a per-job basis. By default `vmagent` requests compressed responses from scrape targets
+  to save network bandwidth.
+* `disable_keepalive: true` - to disable [HTTP keep-alive connections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection) on a per-job basis.
+  By default, `vmagent` uses keep-alive connections to scrape targets to reduce overhead on connection re-establishing.
+* `series_limit: N` - for limiting the number of unique time series a single scrape target can expose. See [these docs](#cardinality-limiter).
+* `stream_parse: true` - for scraping targets in a streaming manner. This may be useful for targets exporting big number of metrics. See [these docs](#stream-parsing-mode).
+* `scrape_align_interval: duration` - for aligning scrapes to the given interval instead of using random offset in the range `[0 ... scrape_interval]` for scraping each target. The random offset helps spreading scrapes evenly in time.
+* `scrape_offset: duration` - for specifying the exact offset for scraping instead of using random offset in the range `[0 ... scrape_interval]`.
+* `relabel_debug: true` - for enabling debug logging during relabeling of the discovered targets. See [these docs](#relabeling).
+* `metric_relabel_debug: true` - for enabling debug logging during relabeling of the scraped metrics. See [these docs](#relabeling).
+
+Note that `vmagent` doesn't support `refresh_interval` option for these scrape configs. Use the corresponding `-promscrape.*CheckInterval`
+command-line flag instead. For example, `-promscrape.consulSDCheckInterval=60s` sets `refresh_interval` for all the `consul_sd_configs`
+entries to 60s. Run `vmagent -help` in order to see default values for the `-promscrape.*CheckInterval` flags.
+
+The file pointed by `-promscrape.config` may contain `%{ENV_VAR}` placeholders which are substituted by the corresponding `ENV_VAR` environment variable values.
+
+
+## Loading scrape configs from multiple files
+
+`vmagent` supports loading scrape configs from multiple files specified in the `scrape_config_files` section of `-promscrape.config` file. For example, the following `-promscrape.config` instructs `vmagent` loading scrape configs from all the `*.yml` files under `configs` directory plus a `single_scrape_config.yml` file:
+
+```yml
+scrape_config_files:
+- configs/*.yml
+- single_scrape_config.yml
+```
+
+Every referred file can contain arbitrary number of any [supported scrape configs](#how-to-collect-metrics-in-prometheus-format). There is no need in specifying top-level `scrape_configs` section in these files. For example:
+
+```yml
+- job_name: foo
+  static_configs:
+  - targets: ["vmagent:8429"]
+- job_name: bar
+  kubernetes_sd_configs:
+  - role: pod
+```
+
+`vmagent` dynamically reloads these files on `SIGHUP` signal or on the request to `http://vmagent:8429/-/reload`.
+
+
+## Adding labels to metrics
+
+Labels can be added to metrics by the following mechanisms:
+
+* The `global -> external_labels` section in `-promscrape.config` file. These labels are added only to metrics scraped from targets configured in the `-promscrape.config` file. They aren't added to metrics collected via other [data ingestion protocols](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-time-series-data).
+* The `-remoteWrite.label` command-line flag. These labels are added to all the collected metrics before sending them to `-remoteWrite.url`. For example, the following command will start `vmagent`, which will add `{datacenter="foobar"}` label to all the metrics pushed to all the configured remote storage systems (all the `-remoteWrite.url` flag values):
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -remoteWrite.label=datacenter=foobar ...
+```
+
+
+## Relabeling
+
+`vmagent` and VictoriaMetrics support Prometheus-compatible relabeling.
+They provide the following additional actions on top of actions from the [Prometheus relabeling](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#relabel_config):
+
+* `replace_all`: replaces all of the occurences of `regex` in the values of `source_labels` with the `replacement` and stores the results in the `target_label`.
+* `labelmap_all`: replaces all of the occurences of `regex` in all the label names with the `replacement`.
+* `keep_if_equal`: keeps the entry if all the label values from `source_labels` are equal.
+* `drop_if_equal`: drops the entry if all the label values from `source_labels` are equal.
+* `keep_metrics`: keeps all the metrics with names matching the given `regex`.
+* `drop_metrics`: drops all the metrics with names matching the given `regex`.
+
+The `regex` value can be split into multiple lines for improved readability and maintainability. These lines are automatically joined with `|` char when parsed. For example, the following configs are equivalent:
+
+```yaml
+- action: keep_metrics
+  regex: "metric_a|metric_b|foo_.+"
+```
+
+```yaml
+- action: keep_metrics
+  regex:
+  - "metric_a"
+  - "metric_b"
+  - "foo_.+"
+```
+
+The relabeling can be defined in the following places:
+
+* At the `scrape_config -> relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to target labels. This relabeling can be debugged by passing `relabel_debug: true` option to the corresponding `scrape_config` section. In this case `vmagent` logs target labels before and after the relabeling and then drops the logged target.
+* At the `scrape_config -> metric_relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to all the scraped metrics in the given `scrape_config`. This relabeling can be debugged by passing `metric_relabel_debug: true` option to the corresponding `scrape_config` section. In this case `vmagent` logs metrics before and after the relabeling and then drops the logged metrics.
+* At the `-remoteWrite.relabelConfig` file. This relabeling is aplied to all the collected metrics before sending them to remote storage. This relabeling can be debugged by passing `-remoteWrite.relabelDebug` command-line option to `vmagent`. In this case `vmagent` logs metrics before and after the relabeling and then drops all the logged metrics instead of sending them to remote storage.
+* At the `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig` files. This relabeling is applied to metrics before sending them to the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url`. This relabeling can be debugged by passing `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelDebug` command-line options to `vmagent`. In this case `vmagent` logs metrics before and after the relabeling and then drops all the logged metrics instead of sending them to the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url`.

+
+## Prometheus staleness markers
+
+`vmagent` sends [Prometheus staleness markers](https://www.robustperception.io/staleness-and-promql) to `-remoteWrite.url` in the following cases:
+
+* If they are passed to `vmagent` via [Prometheus remote_write protocol](#prometheus-remote_write-proxy).
+* If the metric disappears from the list of scraped metrics, then stale marker is sent to this particular metric.
+* If the scrape target becomes temporarily unavailable, then stale markers are sent for all the metrics scraped from this target.
+* If the scrape target is removed from the list of targets, then stale markers are sent for all the metrics scraped from this target.
+* Stale markers are sent for all the scraped metrics on graceful shutdown of `vmagent`.
+
+Prometheus staleness markers' tracking needs additional memory, since it must store the previous response body per each scrape target in order to compare it to the current response body. The memory usage may be reduced by passing `-promscrape.noStaleMarkers` command-line flag to `vmagent`. This disables staleness tracking. This also disables tracking the number of new time series per each scrape with the auto-generated `scrape_series_added` metric. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/jobs_instances/#automatically-generated-labels-and-time-series) for details.
+
+
+## Stream parsing mode
+
+By default `vmagent` reads the full response body from scrape target into memory, then parses it, applies [relabeling](#relabeling) and then pushes the resulting metrics to the configured `-remoteWrite.url`. This mode works good for the majority of cases when the scrape target exposes small number of metrics (e.g. less than 10 thousand). But this mode may take big amounts of memory when the scrape target exposes big number of metrics. In this case it is recommended enabling stream parsing mode. When this mode is enabled, then `vmagent` reads response from scrape target in chunks, then immediately processes every chunk and pushes the processed metrics to remote storage. This allows saving memory when scraping targets that expose millions of metrics.
+
+Stream parsing mode is automatically enabled for scrape targets returning response bodies with sizes bigger than the `-promscrape.minResponseSizeForStreamParse` command-line flag value. Additionally, the stream parsing mode can be explicitly enabled in the following places:
+
+- Via `-promscrape.streamParse` command-line flag. In this case all the scrape targets defined in the file pointed by `-promscrape.config` are scraped in stream parsing mode.
+- Via `stream_parse: true` option at `scrape_configs` section. In this case all the scrape targets defined in this section are scraped in stream parsing mode.
+- Via `__stream_parse__=true` label, which can be set via [relabeling](#relabeling) at `relabel_configs` section. In this case stream parsing mode is enabled for the corresponding scrape targets. Typical use case: to set the label via [Kubernetes annotations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/) for targets exposing big number of metrics.
+
+Examples:
+
+```yml
+scrape_configs:
+- job_name: 'big-federate'
+  stream_parse: true
+  static_configs:
+  - targets:
+    - big-prometeus1
+    - big-prometeus2
+  honor_labels: true
+  metrics_path: /federate
+  params:
+    'match[]': ['{__name__!=""}']
+```
+
+Note that `sample_limit` and `series_limit` options cannot be used in stream parsing mode because the parsed data is pushed to remote storage as soon as it is parsed.
+
+
+## Scraping big number of targets
+
+A single `vmagent` instance can scrape tens of thousands of scrape targets. Sometimes this isn't enough due to limitations on CPU, network, RAM, etc.
+In this case scrape targets can be split among multiple `vmagent` instances (aka `vmagent` horizontal scaling, sharding and clustering).
+Each `vmagent` instance in the cluster must use identical `-promscrape.config` files with distinct `-promscrape.cluster.memberNum` values.
+The flag value must be in the range `0 ... N-1`, where `N` is the number of `vmagent` instances in the cluster.
+The number of `vmagent` instances in the cluster must be passed to `-promscrape.cluster.membersCount` command-line flag. For example, the following commands
+spread scrape targets among a cluster of two `vmagent` instances:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.cluster.membersCount=2 -promscrape.cluster.memberNum=0 -promscrape.config=/path/to/config.yml ...
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.cluster.membersCount=2 -promscrape.cluster.memberNum=1 -promscrape.config=/path/to/config.yml ...
+```
+
+By default each scrape target is scraped only by a single `vmagent` instance in the cluster. If there is a need for replicating scrape targets among multiple `vmagent` instances,
+then `-promscrape.cluster.replicationFactor` command-line flag must be set to the desired number of replicas. For example, the following commands
+start a cluster of three `vmagent` instances, where each target is scraped by two `vmagent` instances:
+
+```
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.cluster.membersCount=3 -promscrape.cluster.replicationFactor=2 -promscrape.cluster.memberNum=0 -promscrape.config=/path/to/config.yml ...
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.cluster.membersCount=3 -promscrape.cluster.replicationFactor=2 -promscrape.cluster.memberNum=1 -promscrape.config=/path/to/config.yml ...
+/path/to/vmagent -promscrape.cluster.membersCount=3 -promscrape.cluster.replicationFactor=2 -promscrape.cluster.memberNum=2 -promscrape.config=/path/to/config.yml ...
+```
+
+If each target is scraped by multiple `vmagent` instances, then data deduplication must be enabled at remote storage pointed by `-remoteWrite.url`.
+See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#deduplication) for details.
+
+
+## Scraping targets via a proxy
+
+`vmagent` supports scraping targets via http, https and socks5 proxies. Proxy address must be specified in `proxy_url` option. For example, the following scrape config instructs
+target scraping via https proxy at `https://proxy-addr:1234`:
+
+```yml
+scrape_configs:
+- job_name: foo
+  proxy_url: https://proxy-addr:1234
+```
+
+Proxy can be configured with the following optional settings:
+
+* `proxy_authorization` for generic token authorization. See [Prometheus docs for details on authorization section](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config)
+* `proxy_bearer_token` and `proxy_bearer_token_file` for Bearer token authorization
+* `proxy_basic_auth` for Basic authorization. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config).
+* `proxy_tls_config` for TLS config. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#tls_config).
+
+For example:
+
+```yml
+scrape_configs:
+- job_name: foo
+  proxy_url: https://proxy-addr:1234
+  proxy_basic_auth:
+    username: foobar
+    password: secret
+  proxy_tls_config:
+    insecure_skip_verify: true
+    cert_file: /path/to/cert
+    key_file: /path/to/key
+    ca_file: /path/to/ca
+    server_name: real-server-name
+```
+
+## Cardinality limiter
+
+By default `vmagent` doesn't limit the number of time series each scrape target can expose. The limit can be enforced in the following places:
+
+- Via `-promscrape.seriesLimitPerTarget` command-line option. This limit is applied individually to all the scrape targets defined in the file pointed by `-promscrape.config`.
+- Via `series_limit` config option at `scrape_config` section. This limit is applied individually to all the scrape targets defined in the given `scrape_config`.
+- Via `__series_limit__` label, which can be set with [relabeling](#relabeling) at `relabel_configs` section. This limit is applied to the corresponding scrape targets. Typical use case: to set the limit via [Kubernetes annotations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/) for targets, which may expose too high number of time series.
+
+All the scraped metrics are dropped for time series exceeding the given limit. The exceeded limit can be [monitored](#monitoring) via `promscrape_series_limit_rows_dropped_total` metric.
+
+See also `sample_limit` option at [scrape_config section](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config).
+
+By default `vmagent` doesn't limit the number of time series written to remote storage systems specified at `-remoteWrite.url`. The limit can be enforced by setting the following command-line flags:
+
+* `-remoteWrite.maxHourlySeries` - limits the number of unique time series `vmagent` can write to remote storage systems during the last hour. Useful for limiting the number of active time series.
+* `-remoteWrite.maxDailySeries` - limits the number of unique time series `vmagent` can write to remote storage systems during the last day. Useful for limiting daily churn rate.
+
+Both limits can be set simultaneously. If any of these limits is reached, then samples for new time series are dropped instead of sending them to remote storage systems. A sample of dropped series is put in the log with `WARNING` level.
+
+The exceeded limits can be [monitored](#monitoring) with the following metrics:
+
+* `vmagent_hourly_series_limit_rows_dropped_total` - the number of metrics dropped due to exceeded hourly limit on the number of unique time series.
+* `vmagent_daily_series_limit_rows_dropped_total` - the number of metrics dropped due to exceeded daily limit on the number of unique time series.
+
+These limits are approximate, so `vmagent` can underflow/overflow the limit by a small percentage (usually less than 1%).
+
+
+## Monitoring
+
+`vmagent` exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page. We recommend setting up regular scraping of this page
+either through `vmagent` itself or by Prometheus so that the exported metrics may be analyzed later.
+Use official [Grafana dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12683) for `vmagent` state overview.
+If you have suggestions for improvements or have found a bug - please open an issue on github or add a review to the dashboard.
+
+`vmagent` also exports the status for various targets at the following handlers:
+
+* `http://vmagent-host:8429/targets`. This handler returns human-readable status for every active target.
+This page is easy to query from the command line with `wget`, `curl` or similar tools.
+It accepts optional `show_original_labels=1` query arg which shows the original labels per each target before applying the relabeling.
+This information may be useful for debugging target relabeling.
+* `http://vmagent-host:8429/api/v1/targets`. This handler returns data compatible with [the corresponding page from Prometheus API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#targets).
+
+* `http://vmagent-host:8429/ready`. This handler returns http 200 status code when `vmagent` finishes it's initialization for all service_discovery configs.
+It may be useful to perform `vmagent` rolling update without any scrape loss.
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+* We recommend you [set up the official Grafana dashboard](#monitoring) in order to monitor the state of `vmagent'.
+
+* We recommend you increase the maximum number of open files in the system (`ulimit -n`) when scraping a big number of targets,
+  as `vmagent` establishes at least a single TCP connection per target.
+
+* If `vmagent` uses too big amounts of memory, then the following options can help:
+  * Disabling staleness tracking with `-promscrape.noStaleMarkers` option. See [these docs](#prometheus-staleness-markers).
+  * Enabling stream parsing mode if `vmagent` scrapes targets with millions of metrics per target. See [these docs](#stream-parsing-mode).
+  * Reducing the number of output queues with `-remoteWrite.queues` command-line option.
+  * Reducing the amounts of RAM vmagent can use for in-memory buffering with `-memory.allowedPercent` or `-memory.allowedBytes` command-line option. Another option is to reduce memory limits in Docker and/or Kuberntes if `vmagent` runs under these systems.
+  * Reducing the number of CPU cores vmagent can use by passing `GOMAXPROCS=N` environment variable to `vmagent`, where `N` is the desired limit on CPU cores. Another option is to reduce CPU limits in Docker or Kubernetes if `vmagent` runs under these systems.
+  * Passing `-promscrape.dropOriginalLabels` command-line option to `vmagent`, so it drops `"discoveredLabels"` and `"droppedTargets"` lists at `/api/v1/targets` page. This reduces memory usage when scraping big number of targets at the cost of reduced debuggability for improperly configured per-target relabeling.
+
+* When `vmagent` scrapes many unreliable targets, it can flood the 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`
+  and `http://vmagent-host:8429/api/v1/targets`.
+
+* The `/api/v1/targets` page could be useful for debugging relabeling process for scrape targets.
+  This page contains original labels for targets dropped during relabeling (see "droppedTargets" section in the page output). By default the `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` targets are shown here. If your setup drops more targets during relabeling, then increase `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` command-line flag value to see all the dropped targets. Note that tracking each dropped target requires up to 10Kb of RAM. Therefore big values for `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` may result in increased memory usage if a big number of scrape targets are dropped during relabeling.
+
+* We recommend you increase `-remoteWrite.queues` if `vmagent_remotewrite_pending_data_bytes` metric exported at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page grows constantly. It is also recommended increasing `-remoteWrite.maxBlockSize` and `-remoteWrite.maxRowsPerBlock` command-line options in this case. This can improve data ingestion performance to the configured remote storage systems at the cost of higher memory usage.
+
+* If you see gaps in the data pushed by `vmagent` to remote storage when `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL` is set, try increasing `-remoteWrite.queues`. Such gaps may appear because `vmagent` cannot keep up with sending the collected data to remote storage. Therefore it starts dropping the buffered data if the on-disk buffer size exceeds `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`.
+
+* `vmagent` drops data blocks if remote storage replies with `400 Bad Request` and `409 Conflict` HTTP responses. The number of dropped blocks can be monitored via `vmagent_remotewrite_packets_dropped_total` metric exported at [/metrics page](#monitoring).
+
+* Use `-remoteWrite.queues=1` when `-remoteWrite.url` points to remote storage, which doesn't accept out-of-order samples (aka data backfilling). Such storage systems include Prometheus, Cortex and Thanos, which typically emit `out of order sample` errors. The best solution is to use remote storage with [backfilling support](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#backfilling).
+
+* `vmagent` buffers scraped data at the `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath` directory until it is sent to `-remoteWrite.url`.
+  The directory can grow large when remote storage is unavailable for extended periods of time and if `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL` isn't set.
+  If you don't want to send all the data from the directory to remote storage then simply stop `vmagent` and delete the directory.
+
+* By default `vmagent` masks `-remoteWrite.url` with `secret-url` values in logs and at `/metrics` page because
+  the url may contain sensitive information such as auth tokens or passwords.
+  Pass `-remoteWrite.showURL` command-line flag when starting `vmagent` in order to see all the valid urls.
+
+* By default `vmagent` evenly spreads scrape load in time. If a particular scrape target must be scraped at the beginning of some interval,
+  then `scrape_align_interval` option  must be used. For example, the following config aligns hourly scrapes to the beginning of hour:
+
+  ```yml
+  scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: foo
+    scrape_interval: 1h
+    scrape_align_interval: 1h
+  ```
+
+* By default `vmagent` evenly spreads scrape load in time. If a particular scrape target must be scraped at specific offset, then `scrape_offset` option must be used.
+  For example, the following config instructs `vmagent` to scrape the target at 10 seconds of every minute:
+
+  ```yml
+  scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: foo
+    scrape_interval: 1m
+    scrape_offset: 10s
+  ```
+
+* If you see `skipping duplicate scrape target with identical labels` errors when scraping Kubernetes pods, then it is likely these pods listen to multiple ports
+  or they use an init container. These errors can either be fixed or suppressed with the `-promscrape.suppressDuplicateScrapeTargetErrors` command-line flag.
+  See the available options below if you prefer fixing the root cause of the error:
+
+  The following relabeling rule may be added to `relabel_configs` section in order to filter out pods with unneeded ports:
+  ```yml
+  - action: keep_if_equal
+    source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_pod_annotation_prometheus_io_port, __meta_kubernetes_pod_container_port_number]
+  ```
+
+  The following relabeling rule may be added to `relabel_configs` section in order to filter out init container pods:
+  ```yml
+  - action: drop
+    source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_pod_container_init]
+    regex: true
+  ```
+
+## Kafka integration
+
+[Enterprise version](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) of `vmagent` can read and write metrics from / to Kafka:
+
+* [Reading metrics from Kafka](#reading-metrics-from-kafka)
+* [Writing metrics to Kafka](#writing-metrics-to-kafka)
+
+The enterprise version of vmagent is available for evaluation at [releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) page in `vmutils-*-enteprise.tar.gz` archives and in [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmagent/tags) with tags containing `enterprise` suffix.
+
+
+### Reading metrics from Kafka
+
+[Enterprise version](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) of `vmagent` can read metrics in various formats from Kafka messages. These formats can be configured with `-kafka.consumer.topic.defaultFormat` or `-kafka.consumer.topic.format` command-line options. The following formats are supported:
+
+* `promremotewrite` - [Prometheus remote_write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write). Messages in this format can be sent by vmagent - see [these docs](#writing-metrics-to-kafka).
+* `influx` - [InfluxDB line protocol format](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/write_protocols/line_protocol_tutorial/).
+* `prometheus` - [Prometheus text exposition format](https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/master/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#text-based-format) and [OpenMetrics format](https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/blob/master/specification/OpenMetrics.md).
+* `graphite` - [Graphite plaintext format](https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/feeding-carbon.html#the-plaintext-protocol).
+* `jsonline` - [JSON line format](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-data-in-json-line-format).
+
+Every Kafka message may contain multiple lines in `influx`, `prometheus`, `graphite` and `jsonline` format delimited by `\n`.
+
+`vmagent` consumes messages from Kafka topics specified by `-kafka.consumer.topic` command-line flag. Multiple topics can be specified by passing multiple `-kafka.consumer.topic` command-line flags to `vmagent`.
+
+`vmagent` consumes messages from Kafka brokers specified by `-kafka.consumer.topic.brokers` command-line flag. Multiple brokers can be specified per each `-kafka.consumer.topic` by passing a list of brokers delimited by `;`. For example, `-kafka.consumer.topic.brokers=host1:9092;host2:9092`.
+
+The following command starts `vmagent`, which reads metrics in InfluxDB line protocol format from Kafka broker at `localhost:9092` from the topic `metrics-by-telegraf` and sends them to remote storage at `http://localhost:8428/api/v1/write`:
+
+```bash
+./bin/vmagent -remoteWrite.url=http://localhost:8428/api/v1/write \
+       -kafka.consumer.topic.brokers=localhost:9092 \
+       -kafka.consumer.topic.format=influx \
+       -kafka.consumer.topic=metrics-by-telegraf \
+       -kafka.consumer.topic.groupID=some-id
+```
+
+It is expected that [Telegraf](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf) sends metrics to the `metrics-by-telegraf` topic with the following config:
+
+```yaml
+[[outputs.kafka]]
+brokers = ["localhost:9092"]
+topic = "influx"
+data_format = "influx"
+```
+
+
+#### Command-line flags for Kafka consumer
+
+These command-line flags are available only in [enterprise](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) version of `vmagent`, which can be downloaded for evaluation from [releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) page (see `vmutils-*-enteprise.tar.gz` archives) and from [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmagent/tags) with tags containing `enterprise` suffix.
+
+```

+```
+
+### Writing metrics to Kafka
+
+[Enterprise version](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) of `vmagent` writes data to Kafka with `at-least-once` semantics if `-remoteWrite.url` contains e.g. Kafka url. For example, if `vmagent` is started with `-remoteWrite.url=kafka://localhost:9092/?topic=prom-rw`, then it would send Prometheus remote_write messages to Kafka bootstrap server at `localhost:9092` with the topic `prom-rw`. These messages can be read later from Kafka by another `vmagent` - see [these docs](#reading-metrics-from-kafka) for details.
+
+Additional Kafka options can be passed as query params to `-remoteWrite.url`. For instance, `kafka://localhost:9092/?topic=prom-rw&client.id=my-favorite-id` sets `client.id` Kafka option to `my-favorite-id`. The full list of Kafka options is available [here](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md).
+
+
+#### Kafka broker authorization and authentication
+
+Two types of auth are supported:
+
+* sasl with username and password:
+
+```bash
+./bin/vmagent -remoteWrite.url=kafka://localhost:9092/?topic=prom-rw&security.protocol=SASL_SSL&sasl.mechanisms=PLAIN -remoteWrite.basicAuth.username=user -remoteWrite.basicAuth.password=password
+```
+
+* tls certificates:
+
+```bash
+./bin/vmagent -remoteWrite.url=kafka://localhost:9092/?topic=prom-rw&security.protocol=SSL -remoteWrite.tlsCAFile=/opt/ca.pem -remoteWrite.tlsCertFile=/opt/cert.pem -remoteWrite.tlsKeyFile=/opt/key.pem
+```
+
+
+## How to build from sources
+
+We recommend using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - `vmagent` is located in the `vmutils-*` archives .
+
+
+### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.16.
+2. Run `make vmagent` from the root folder of [the repository](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+   It builds the `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](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+   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 an auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in [the repository](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmagent`.
+
+The base docker image is [alpine](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine) but it is possible to use any other base image
+by setting it via `<ROOT_IMAGE>` environment variable. For example, the following command builds the image on top of [scratch](https://hub.docker.com/_/scratch) image:
+
+```bash
+ROOT_IMAGE=scratch make package-vmagent
+```
+
+### ARM build
+
+ARM build may run on Raspberry Pi or on [energy-efficient ARM servers](https://blog.cloudflare.com/arm-takes-wing/).
+
+### Development ARM build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.16.
+2. Run `make vmagent-arm` or `make vmagent-arm64` from the root folder of [the repository](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics)
+   It builds `vmagent-arm` or `vmagent-arm64` binary respectively and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+### Production ARM build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmagent-arm-prod` or `make vmagent-arm64-prod` from the root folder of [the repository](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+   It builds `vmagent-arm-prod` or `vmagent-arm64-prod` binary respectively and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+
+## Profiling
+
+`vmagent` provides handlers for collecting the following [Go profiles](https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs):
+
+* Memory profile can be collected with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<vmagent-host>:8429/debug/pprof/heap > mem.pprof
+```
+
+* CPU profile 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).
+
+
+## Advanced usage
+
+`vmagent` can be fine-tuned with various command-line flags. Run `./vmagent -help` in order to see the full list of these flags with their desciptions and default values:
+
+```
+./vmagent -help
+
+vmagent collects metrics data via popular data ingestion protocols and routes them to VictoriaMetrics.

+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.queues int
+    	The number of concurrent queues to each -remoteWrite.url. Set more queues if default number of queues isn't enough for sending high volume of collected data to remote storage. Default value is 2 * numberOfAvailableCPUs (default 8)
+  -remoteWrite.rateLimit array
+    	Optional rate limit in bytes per second for data sent to -remoteWrite.url. By default the rate limit is disabled. It can be useful for limiting load on remote storage when big amounts of buffered data is sent after temporary unavailability of the remote storage
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.relabelConfig string
+    	Optional path to file with relabel_config entries. These entries are applied to all the metrics before sending them to -remoteWrite.url. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling for details
+  -remoteWrite.relabelDebug
+    	Whether to log metrics before and after relabeling with -remoteWrite.relabelConfig. If the -remoteWrite.relabelDebug is enabled, then the metrics aren't sent to remote storage. This is useful for debugging the relabeling configs
+  -remoteWrite.roundDigits array
+    	Round metric values to this number of decimal digits after the point before writing them to remote storage. Examples: -remoteWrite.roundDigits=2 would round 1.236 to 1.24, while -remoteWrite.roundDigits=-1 would round 126.78 to 130. By default digits rounding is disabled. Set it to 100 for disabling it for a particular remote storage. This option may be used for improving data compression for the stored metrics
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.sendTimeout array
+    	Timeout for sending a single block of data to -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.showURL
+    	Whether to show -remoteWrite.url in the exported metrics. It is hidden by default, since it can contain sensitive info such as auth key
+  -remoteWrite.significantFigures array
+    	The number of significant figures to leave in metric values before writing them to remote storage. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures . Zero value saves all the significant figures. This option may be used for improving data compression for the stored metrics. See also -remoteWrite.roundDigits
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tlsCAFile array
+    	Optional path to TLS CA file to use for verifying connections to -remoteWrite.url. By default system CA is used. If multiple args are set, then they are applied independently for the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tlsCertFile array
+    	Optional path to client-side TLS certificate file to use when connecting to -remoteWrite.url. If multiple args are set, then they are applied independently for the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tlsInsecureSkipVerify array
+    	Whether to skip tls verification when connecting to -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tlsKeyFile array
+    	Optional path to client-side TLS certificate key to use when connecting to -remoteWrite.url. If multiple args are set, then they are applied independently for the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tlsServerName array
+    	Optional TLS server name to use for connections to -remoteWrite.url. By default the server name from -remoteWrite.url is used. If multiple args are set, then they are applied independently for the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.tmpDataPath string
+    	Path to directory where temporary data for remote write component is stored. See also -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL (default "vmagent-remotewrite-data")
+  -remoteWrite.url array
+    	Remote storage URL to write data to. It must support Prometheus remote_write API. It is recommended using VictoriaMetrics as remote storage. Example url: http://<victoriametrics-host>:8428/api/v1/write . Pass multiple -remoteWrite.url flags in order to replicate data to multiple remote storage systems. See also -remoteWrite.multitenantURL
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig array
+    	Optional path to relabel config for the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -remoteWrite.urlRelabelDebug array
+    	Whether to log metrics before and after relabeling with -remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig. If the -remoteWrite.urlRelabelDebug is enabled, then the metrics aren't sent to the corresponding -remoteWrite.url. This is useful for debugging the relabeling configs
+    	Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -sortLabels
+    	Whether to sort labels for incoming samples before writing them to all the configured remote storage systems. This may be needed for reducing memory usage at remote storage when the order of labels in incoming samples is random. For example, if m{k1="v1",k2="v2"} may be sent as m{k2="v2",k1="v1"}Enabled sorting for labels can slow down ingestion performance a bit
+  -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 as RSA certs are slower
+  -tlsKeyFile string
+    	Path to file with TLS key. Used only if -tls is set
+  -version
+    	Show VictoriaMetrics version

+# vmalert
+
+`vmalert` executes a list of the given [alerting](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/)
+or [recording](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/recording_rules/)
+rules against configured address. It is heavily inspired by [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/overview/)
+implementation and aims to be compatible with its syntax.
+
+## Features
+* Integration with [VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics) TSDB;
+* VictoriaMetrics [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html)
+ support and 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);
+* Keeps the alerts [state on restarts](#alerts-state-on-restarts);
+* Graphite datasource can be used for alerting and recording rules. See [these docs](#graphite);
+* Recording and Alerting rules backfilling (aka `replay`). See [these docs](#rules-backfilling);
+* Lightweight without extra dependencies.
+
+## Limitations
+* `vmalert` execute queries against remote datasource which has reliability risks because of network.
+It is recommended to configure alerts thresholds and rules expressions with understanding that network request
+may fail;
+* by default, rules execution is sequential within one group, but persistence of execution results to remote
+storage is asynchronous. Hence, user shouldn't rely on chaining of recording rules when result of previous
+recording rule is reused in next one;
+
+## 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 rules - PromQL/MetricsQL expressions to execute;
+* datasource address - reachable VictoriaMetrics instance for rules execution;
+* notifier address - reachable [Alert Manager](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager) instance for processing,
+aggregating alerts and sending notifications.
+* remote write address [optional] - [remote write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations)
+compatible storage address for storing recording rules results and alerts state in for of timeseries.
+
+Then configure `vmalert` accordingly:
+```
+./bin/vmalert -rule=alert.rules \            # Path to the file with rules configuration. Supports wildcard
+    -datasource.url=http://localhost:8428 \  # PromQL compatible datasource
+    -notifier.url=http://localhost:9093 \    # AlertManager URL
+    -notifier.url=http://127.0.0.1:9093 \    # AlertManager replica URL
+    -remoteWrite.url=http://localhost:8428 \ # Remote write compatible storage to persist rules
+    -remoteRead.url=http://localhost:8428 \  # MetricsQL compatible datasource to restore alerts state from
+    -external.label=cluster=east-1 \         # External label to be applied for each rule
+    -external.label=replica=a                # Multiple external labels may be set
+```
+
+See the full list of configuration flags in [configuration](#configuration) section.
+
+If you run multiple `vmalert` services for the same datastore or AlertManager - do not forget
+to specify different `external.label` flags in order to define which `vmalert` generated rules or alerts.
+
+Configuration for [recording](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/recording_rules/)
+and [alerting](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/) rules is very
+similar to Prometheus rules and configured using YAML. Configuration examples may be found
+in [testdata](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmalert/config/testdata) folder.
+Every `rule` belongs to a `group` and every configuration file may contain arbitrary number of groups:
+```yaml
+groups:
+  [ - <rule_group> ]
+```
+
+### Groups
+
+Each group has the following attributes:
+```yaml
+# The name of the group. Must be unique within a file.
+name: <string>
+
+# How often rules in the group are evaluated.
+[ interval: <duration> | default = -evaluationInterval flag ]
+
+# How many rules execute at once within a group. Increasing concurrency may speed
+# up round execution speed.
+[ concurrency: <integer> | default = 1 ]
+
+# Optional type for expressions inside the rules. Supported values: "graphite" and "prometheus".
+# By default "prometheus" type is used.
+[ type: <string> ]
+
+# Optional list of label filters applied to every rule's
+# request withing a group. Is compatible only with VM datasource.
+# See more details at https://docs.victoriametrics.com#prometheus-querying-api-enhancements
+extra_filter_labels:
+  [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ... ]
+
+# Optional list of labels added to every rule within a group.
+# It has priority over the external labels.
+# Labels are commonly used for adding environment
+# or tenant-specific tag.
+labels:
+  [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ... ]
+
+rules:
+  [ - <rule> ... ]
+```
+
+### Rules
+
+Every rule contains `expr` field for [PromQL](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/)
+or [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html) expression. Vmalert will execute the configured
+expression and then act according to the Rule type.
+
+There are two types of Rules:
+* [alerting](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/) -
+Alerting rules allow to define alert conditions via `expr` field and to send notifications to
+[Alertmanager](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager) if execution result is not empty.
+* [recording](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/recording_rules/) -
+Recording rules allow to define `expr` which result will be then backfilled to configured
+`-remoteWrite.url`. Recording rules are used to precompute frequently needed or computationally
+expensive expressions and save their result as a new set of time series.
+
+`vmalert` forbids defining duplicates - rules with the same combination of name, expression and labels
+within one group.
+
+#### Alerting rules
+
+The syntax for alerting rule is the following:
+```yaml
+# The name of the alert. Must be a valid metric name.
+alert: <string>
+
+# The expression to evaluate. The expression language depends on the type value.
+# By default PromQL/MetricsQL expression is used. If group.type="graphite", then the expression
+# must contain valid Graphite expression.
+expr: <string>
+
+# Alerts are considered firing once they have been returned for this long.
+# Alerts which have not yet fired for long enough are considered pending.
+# If param is omitted or set to 0 then alerts will be immediately considered
+# as firing once they return.
+[ for: <duration> | default = 0s ]
+
+# Labels to add or overwrite for each alert.
+labels:
+  [ <labelname>: <tmpl_string> ]
+
+# Annotations to add to each alert.
+annotations:
+  [ <labelname>: <tmpl_string> ]
+```
+
+It is allowed to use [Go templating](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) in annotations
+to format data, iterate over it or execute expressions.
+Additionally, `vmalert` provides some extra templating functions
+listed [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmalert/notifier/template_func.go).
+
+#### Recording rules
+
+The syntax for recording rules is following:
+```yaml
+# The name of the time series to output to. Must be a valid metric name.
+record: <string>
+
+# The expression to evaluate. The expression language depends on the type value.
+# By default MetricsQL expression is used. If group.type="graphite", then the expression
+# must contain valid Graphite expression.
+expr: <string>
+
+# Labels to add or overwrite before storing the result.
+labels:
+  [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ]
+```
+
+For recording rules to work `-remoteWrite.url` must be specified.
+
+
+### Alerts state on restarts
+
+`vmalert` has no local storage, so alerts state is stored in the process memory. Hence, after restart of `vmalert`
+the process alerts state will be lost. To avoid this situation, `vmalert` should be configured via the following flags:
+* `-remoteWrite.url` - URL to VictoriaMetrics (Single) or vminsert (Cluster). `vmalert` will persist alerts state
+into the configured address in the form of time series named `ALERTS` and `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` via remote-write protocol.
+These are regular time series and may be queried from VM just as any other time series.
+The state is stored to the configured address on every rule evaluation.
+* `-remoteRead.url` - URL to VictoriaMetrics (Single) or vmselect (Cluster). `vmalert` will try to restore alerts state
+from configured address by querying time series with name `ALERTS_FOR_STATE`.
+
+Both flags are required for proper state restoring. Restore process may fail if time series are missing
+in configured `-remoteRead.url`, weren't updated in the last `1h` (controlled by `-remoteRead.lookback`)
+or received state doesn't match current `vmalert` rules configuration.
+
+
+### Multitenancy
+
+The following are the approaches for alerting and recording rules across
+[multiple tenants](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multitenancy):
+
+* To run a separate `vmalert` instance per each tenant.
+  The corresponding tenant must be specified in `-datasource.url` command-line flag
+  according to [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#url-format).
+  For example, `/path/to/vmalert -datasource.url=http://vmselect:8481/select/123/prometheus`
+  would run alerts against `AccountID=123`. For recording rules the `-remoteWrite.url` command-line
+  flag must contain the url for the specific tenant as well.
+  For example, `-remoteWrite.url=http://vminsert:8480/insert/123/prometheus` would write recording
+  rules to `AccountID=123`.
+
+* To specify `tenant` parameter per each alerting and recording group if
+  [enterprise version of vmalert](https://victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) is used
+  with `-clusterMode` command-line flag. For example:
+
+```yaml
+groups:
+- name: rules_for_tenant_123
+  tenant: "123"
+  rules:
+    # Rules for accountID=123
+
+- name: rules_for_tenant_456:789
+  tenant: "456:789"
+  rules:
+    # Rules for accountID=456, projectID=789
+```
+
+If `-clusterMode` is enabled, then `-datasource.url`, `-remoteRead.url` and `-remoteWrite.url` must
+contain only the hostname without tenant id. For example: `-datasource.url=http://vmselect:8481`.
+`vmalert` automatically adds the specified tenant to urls per each recording rule in this case.
+
+If `-clusterMode` is enabled and the `tenant` in a particular group is missing, then the tenant value
+is obtained from `-defaultTenant.prometheus` or `-defaultTenant.graphite` depending on the `type` of the group.
+
+The enterprise version of vmalert is available in `vmutils-*-enterprise.tar.gz` files
+at [release page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) and in `*-enterprise`
+tags at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmalert/tags).
+
+
+### Web
+
+`vmalert` runs a web-server (`-httpListenAddr`) for serving metrics and alerts endpoints:
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>` - UI;
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/api/v1/groups` - list of all loaded groups and rules;
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/api/v1/alerts` - list of all active alerts;
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/api/v1/<groupID>/<alertID>/status" ` - get alert status by ID.
+Used as alert source in AlertManager.
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/metrics` - application metrics.
+* `http://<vmalert-addr>/-/reload` - hot configuration reload.
+
+
+## Graphite
+
+vmalert sends requests to `<-datasource.url>/render?format=json` during evaluation of alerting and recording rules
+if the corresponding group or rule contains `type: "graphite"` config option. It is expected that the `<-datasource.url>/render`
+implements [Graphite Render API](https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/stable/render_api.html) for `format=json`.
+When using vmalert with both `graphite` and `prometheus` rules configured against cluster version of VM do not forget
+to set `-datasource.appendTypePrefix` flag to `true`, so vmalert can adjust URL prefix automatically based on query type.
+
+## Rules backfilling
+
+vmalert supports alerting and recording rules backfilling (aka `replay`). In replay mode vmalert
+can read the same rules configuration as normal, evaluate them on the given time range and backfill
+results via remote write to the configured storage. vmalert supports any PromQL/MetricsQL compatible
+data source for backfilling.
+
+### How it works
+
+In `replay` mode vmalert works as a cli-tool and exits immediately after work is done.
+To run vmalert in `replay` mode:
+```
+./bin/vmalert -rule=path/to/your.rules \        # path to files with rules you usually use with vmalert
+    -datasource.url=http://localhost:8428 \     # PromQL/MetricsQL compatible datasource
+    -remoteWrite.url=http://localhost:8428 \    # remote write compatible storage to persist results
+    -replay.timeFrom=2021-05-11T07:21:43Z \     # time from begin replay
+    -replay.timeTo=2021-05-29T18:40:43Z         # time to finish replay
+```
+
+The output of the command will look like the following:
+```
+Replay mode:
+from:   2021-05-11 07:21:43 +0000 UTC   # set by -replay.timeFrom
+to:     2021-05-29 18:40:43 +0000 UTC   # set by -replay.timeTo
+max data points per request: 1000       # set by -replay.maxDatapointsPerQuery

+```
+
+In `replay` mode all groups are executed sequentially one-by-one. Rules within the group are
+executed sequentially as well (`concurrency` setting is ignored). Vmalert sends rule's expression
+to [/query_range](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) endpoint
+of the configured `-datasource.url`. Returned data is then processed according to the rule type and
+backfilled to `-remoteWrite.url` via [remote Write protocol](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations).
+Vmalert respects `evaluationInterval` value set by flag or per-group during the replay.
+Vmalert automatically disables caching on VictoriaMetrics side by sending `nocache=1` param. It allows
+to prevent cache pollution and unwanted time range boundaries adjustment during backfilling.
+
+#### Recording rules
+
+Result of recording rules `replay` should match with results of normal rules evaluation.
+
+#### Alerting rules
+
+Result of alerting rules `replay` is time series reflecting [alert's state](#alerts-state-on-restarts).
+To see if `replayed` alert has fired in the past use the following PromQL/MetricsQL expression:
+```
+ALERTS{alertname="your_alertname", alertstate="firing"}
+```
+Execute the query against storage which was used for `-remoteWrite.url` during the `replay`.
+
+### Additional configuration
+
+There are following non-required `replay` flags:
+
+* `-replay.maxDatapointsPerQuery` - the max number of data points expected to receive in one request.
+In two words, it affects the max time range for every `/query_range` request. The higher the value,
+the less requests will be issued during `replay`.
+* `-replay.ruleRetryAttempts` - when datasource fails to respond vmalert will make this number of retries
+per rule before giving up.
+* `-replay.rulesDelay` - delay between sequential rules execution. Important in cases if there are chaining
+(rules which depend on each other) rules. It is expected, that remote storage will be able to persist
+previously accepted data during the delay, so data will be available for the subsequent queries.
+Keep it equal or bigger than `-remoteWrite.flushInterval`.
+
+See full description for these flags in `./vmalert --help`.
+
+### Limitations
+
+* Graphite engine isn't supported yet;
+* `query` template function is disabled for performance reasons (might be changed in future);
+
+
+## Monitoring
+
+`vmalert` exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `http://vmalert-host:8880/metrics` page.
+We recommend setting up regular scraping of this page either through `vmagent` or by Prometheus so that the exported
+metrics may be analyzed later.
+
+Use official [Grafana dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14950) for `vmalert` overview.
+If you have suggestions for improvements or have found a bug - please open an issue on github or add
+a review to the dashboard.
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+Pass `-help` to `vmalert` in order to see the full list of supported
+command-line flags with their descriptions.
+
+The shortlist of configuration flags is the following:
+```
+  -datasource.appendTypePrefix
+    	Whether to add type prefix to -datasource.url based on the query type. Set to true if sending different query types to the vmselect URL.
+  -datasource.basicAuth.password string
+    	Optional basic auth password for -datasource.url
+  -datasource.basicAuth.passwordFile string
+    	Optional path to basic auth password to use for -datasource.url
+  -datasource.basicAuth.username string
+    	Optional basic auth username for -datasource.url
+  -datasource.bearerToken string
+    	Optional bearer auth token to use for -datasource.url.
+  -datasource.bearerTokenFile string
+    	Optional path to bearer token file to use for -datasource.url.
+  -datasource.lookback duration
+    	Lookback defines how far into the past to look when evaluating queries. For example, if the datasource.lookback=5m then param "time" with value now()-5m will be added to every query.
+  -datasource.maxIdleConnections int
+    	Defines the number of idle (keep-alive connections) to each configured datasource. Consider setting this value equal to the value: groups_total * group.concurrency. Too low a value may result in a high number of sockets in TIME_WAIT state. (default 100)
+  -datasource.queryStep duration
+    	queryStep defines how far a value can fallback to when evaluating queries. For example, if datasource.queryStep=15s then param "step" with value "15s" will be added to every query.If queryStep isn't specified, rule's evaluationInterval will be used instead.
+  -datasource.roundDigits int
+    	Adds "round_digits" GET param to datasource requests. In VM "round_digits" limits the number of digits after the decimal point in response values.
+  -datasource.tlsCAFile string
+    	Optional path to TLS CA file to use for verifying connections to -datasource.url. By default, system CA is used
+  -datasource.tlsCertFile string
+    	Optional path to client-side TLS certificate file to use when connecting to -datasource.url
+  -datasource.tlsInsecureSkipVerify
+    	Whether to skip tls verification when connecting to -datasource.url
+  -datasource.tlsKeyFile string
+    	Optional path to client-side TLS certificate key to use when connecting to -datasource.url
+  -datasource.tlsServerName string
+    	Optional TLS server name to use for connections to -datasource.url. By default, the server name from -datasource.url is used
+  -datasource.url string
+    	VictoriaMetrics or vmselect url. Required parameter. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
+  -disableAlertgroupLabel
+    	Whether to disable adding group's name as label to generated alerts and time series.
+  -dryRun -rule
+    	Whether to check only config files without running vmalert. The rules file are validated. The -rule flag must be specified.
+  -enableTCP6
+    	Whether to enable IPv6 for listening and dialing. By default only IPv4 TCP and UDP is used
+  -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. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#environment-variables for more details
+  -envflag.prefix string
+    	Prefix for environment variables if -envflag.enable is set
+  -evaluationInterval duration
+    	How often to evaluate the rules (default 1m0s)
+  -external.alert.source string
+    	External Alert Source allows to override the Source link for alerts sent to AlertManager for cases where you want to build a custom link to Grafana, Prometheus or any other service.
+    	eg. 'explore?orgId=1&left=[\"now-1h\",\"now\",\"VictoriaMetrics\",{\"expr\": \"{{$expr|quotesEscape|crlfEscape|queryEscape}}\"},{\"mode\":\"Metrics\"},{\"ui\":[true,true,true,\"none\"]}]'.If empty '/api/v1/:groupID/alertID/status' is used
+  -external.label array
+    	Optional label in the form 'name=value' to add to all generated recording rules and alerts. Pass multiple -label flags in order to add multiple label sets.
+    	Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
+  -external.url string
+    	External URL is used as alert's source for sent alerts to the notifier
+  -fs.disableMmap
+    	Whether to use pread() instead of mmap() for reading data files. By default mmap() is used for 64-bit arches and pread() is used for 32-bit arches, since they cannot read data files bigger than 2^32 bytes in memory. mmap() is usually faster for reading small data chunks than pread()
+  -http.connTimeout duration
+    	Incoming http connections are closed after the configured timeout. This may help to spread the incoming load among a cluster of services behind a load balancer. Please note that the real timeout may be bigger by up to 10% as a protection against the thundering herd problem (default 2m0s)
+  -http.disableResponseCompression
+    	Disable compression of HTTP responses to save CPU resources. By default compression is enabled to save network bandwidth
+  -http.idleConnTimeout duration
+    	Timeout for incoming idle http connections (default 1m0s)
+  -http.maxGracefulShutdownDuration duration
+    	The maximum duration for a graceful shutdown of the HTTP server. A highly loaded server may require increased value for a graceful shutdown (default 7s)
+  -http.pathPrefix string
+    	An optional prefix to add to all the paths handled by http server. For example, if '-http.pathPrefix=/foo/bar' is set, then all the http requests will be handled on '/foo/bar/*' paths. This may be useful for proxied requests. See https://www.robustperception.io/using-external-urls-and-proxies-with-prometheus
+  -http.shutdownDelay duration
+    	Optional delay before http server shutdown. During this delay, the server returns non-OK responses from /health page, so load balancers can route new requests to other servers
+  -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")
+  -loggerDisableTimestamps
+    	Whether to disable writing timestamps in logs
+  -loggerErrorsPerSecondLimit int
+    	Per-second limit on the number of ERROR messages. If more than the given number of errors are emitted per second, the remaining errors are suppressed. Zero values disable the rate limit
+  -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")
+  -loggerTimezone string

+* send GET request to `/-/reload` endpoint;
+* configure `-rule.configCheckInterval` flag for periodic reload
+on config change.
