 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 persisting of execution results to remote

-#### WEB
+### Multitenancy
+
+There are the following 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.
+
+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/<groupName>/<alertID>/status" ` - get alert status by ID.
+* `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.
 
 
-### Configuration
+## 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 normally, 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

+```
+
+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 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.
