This PR adds databases role to digitalocean_sd_config to discover DigitalOcean Managed Database clusters.

It addresses the proposal in #18286.

Changes:

  • Added role parameter to digitalocean_sd_config (default: droplets).
  • Added logic to discover DigitalOcean Managed Database clusters when role: databases is used.
  • Supports pagination for the Databases API.
  • Provides comprehensive meta labels for database targets.
  • Updated documentation and tests.

For vendors with multiple discoveries we're migrating to a multi-role design pattern.

You can see how we did this in #17406

Done! I've switched to the multi-role pattern as suggested. It's now integrated into the existing digitalocean_sd_configs with a new role field. Thanks for the tip!

This adds 'databases' role to digitalocean_sd_config to discover DigitalOcean
Managed Database clusters. It follows the multi-role design pattern by
introducing a 'role' parameter (default: 'droplets').

Includes:
- Support for Managed Databases API.
- Pagination handling for Databases API.
- Comprehensive meta labels for database targets.
- Updated documentation and tests.

@matt-gp Mind giving this a once-over since it's a similar change to what we did with AWS?

##### [\`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.

- **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.

##### [\`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)
- \[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. GHSA-39j6-789q-qxvh [#18649](prometheus/prometheus#18649)
- \[CHANGE] TSDB/Agent: Adds Start Timestamp field to all WAL Histogram samples in memory; used `st-storage` flag is enabled. [#18221](prometheus/prometheus#18221)
- \[FEATURE] API: Add `/api/v1/status/self_metrics` endpoint returning the current state of the Prometheus server's own metrics about itself as JSON. [#18411](prometheus/prometheus#18411)
- \[FEATURE] Discovery: Add DigitalOcean Managed Databases service discovery [#18287](prometheus/prometheus#18287)
- \[FEATURE] Prometheus: Add support for the aix/ppc64 compilation target [#18321](prometheus/prometheus#18321)
- \[FEATURE] Discovery: Add Outscale VM service discovery (`outscale_sd_configs`) for discovering scrape targets from the Outscale Cloud API. [#18139](prometheus/prometheus#18139)
- \[FEATURE] PromQL: Emit a warning when `sort`, `sort_by_label` or `sort_by_label_desc` is used within range (matrix) queries, as these functions do not have effect in that context. [#18498](prometheus/prometheus#18498)
- \[FEATURE] PromQL: Add `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` experimental functions [#17877](prometheus/prometheus#17877)
- \[FEATURE] PromQL: Update `resets()` function to consider start timestamp resets. Hidden behind `use-start-timestamps` feature flag. [#18627](prometheus/prometheus#18627)
- \[FEATURE] Prometheus: Promote auto-reload-config as stable [#18620](prometheus/prometheus#18620)
- \[FEATURE] TSDB/Agent: Add `CheckpointFromInMemorySeries` option to `agent.DB` that enables checkpoint based on in-memory series. [#17948](prometheus/prometheus#17948)
- \[FEATURE] UI: Add a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones, accessible from the Status menu. [#18390](prometheus/prometheus#18390)
- \[FEATURE] PromQL: Use start timestamps for `rate()`, `irate()`, and `increase()` calculations, behind a feature flag `use-start-timestamps`. Doesn't work together with extended range selectors `anchored` and `smoothed`. [#18344](prometheus/prometheus#18344)
- \[FEATURE] Scrape: 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. [#18279](prometheus/prometheus#18279)
- \[FEATURE] promqltest: support `@st` annotation in `load` blocks to specify per-sample start timestamps. [#18360](prometheus/prometheus#18360)

- \[ENHANCEMENT] AWS SD: Add optional `external_id` field. [#17171](prometheus/prometheus#17171)
- \[ENHANCEMENT] Discovery: Propagate SD target updates faster by introducing dynamic backoff interval instead of static 5s interval for throttling. [#18187](prometheus/prometheus#18187)
- \[ENHANCEMENT] Promtool: Add `--header` flag to `query instant` command, matching existing `query range` behaviour. [#18418](prometheus/prometheus#18418)
- \[ENHANCEMENT]: AWS SD: Allows EC2 service discovery to discover IPv6 addresses to communicate with target endpoints. The private IPv4 address remains the default when both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are present. [#16088](prometheus/prometheus#16088)
- \[PERF] TSDB: Make head chunk lookup in range queries constant time instead of quadratic time [#18302](prometheus/prometheus#18302)
