Issue #14763

Note: Still a WIP for native histograms.

Still need to:

  • Figure out how should this interact with OOO metrics
  • Histogram mathematics is melting me a bit, need to double check this and do something better for Integer histograms
  • Double check that staleness checks does garbage collect appropriately
  • Benchmark
  • Compliance tests

Which issue(s) does the PR fix:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

[FEATURE] prometheus: Added a feature flag `st-synthesis` which synthesizes unknown STs for scraped cumulative metrics. Useful when Remote Writing 2.0 with delta or Otel-based backends.

Amazing, a few suggestions!

For benchmark and show the numbers WITHOUT setting this flag (append bench v2)

Benchmarking:

By default, there is no significant performance hit with the PR as st_synthesis is off by default. When enabled though, it has much higher allocs when trying to cache previous, and reference values for native histograms

Looks good!

I have trillion nits, feel free to reject/challenge them - mostly readability.

It looks good otherwise, LGTM preliminarily.

Benchmarks looks good too, although tons of allocs for float hist (as expected). 2x more mem allocs.

Ideally we add OOO test and ensure we have some plans.

It would be epic if we could still ingest OOO, but without ST - if not, let's document what happens now and add issue for potential OOO allowance

I see this as a workaround until instrumentation libraries implement start time and start exposing it. Therefore I don't expect this to work for some people (that need the absolute value of counters as well) or at all pretty much.

I don't quite understand why we don't insert a zero value sample at the beginning. Not inserting the zero makes the staleness tracking more complicated and might actually drop samples that we scraped (as in process lived for a short time and crashed). To reintroduce the missing samples you'd have to detect such case in staleness tracking, but you could just have the zero sample. Plus easily keep exemplars.

I think we need to establish a baseline performance and there's plenty to improve I suspect (integer histograms direct handling, flatter data structure, optimize away double reset detection for native histograms - tsdb head does it again).

On the plus side we could finally have a simpler way to add type correct staleness markers - as opposed to the heuristics we do now.

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0)

This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes.

Thanks to all contributors!

#### Key Highlights

- **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery.
- **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced.
- **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage.
- **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support).
- **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones.

#### Changelog

- \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB.

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0)

This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes.

Thanks to all contributors!

#### Key Highlights

- **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery.
- **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced.
- **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage.
- **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support).
- **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones.

#### Changelog

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0)

This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes.

Thanks to all contributors!

#### Key Highlights

- **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery.
- **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced.
- **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage.
- **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support).
- **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones.

#### Changelog

- \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB. Thanks to [@hibrian827](https://github.com/hibrian827) for reporting it. [#18642](prometheus/prometheus#18642)

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0)

This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes.

Thanks to all contributors!

#### Key Highlights

- **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery.
- **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced.
- **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage.
- **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support).
- **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones.

#### Changelog

- \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB. Thanks to [@hibrian827](https://github.com/hibrian827) for reporting it. [#18642](prometheus/prometheus#18642)
- \[SECURITY] STACKIT SD: Fix secrets being exposed in plaintext via `/-/config` endpoint. Thanks to [@August829](https://github.com/August829) and [@Phaxma](https://github.com/Phaxma) for reporting.
