Grafana Mimir version 2.13.0 release notes

Grafana Labs is excited to announce version 2.13 of Grafana Mimir.

The highlights that follow include the top features, enhancements, and bug fixes in this release.
For the complete list of changes, refer to the CHANGELOG.

Features and enhancements

  • Improved CPU performance in processing queries with regular expressions that contain many alternations (for example foo|bar|baz|...).

  • Improved OTLP ingestion performance by using native translation, which reduces memory usage in the distributor by up to 30% and CPU usage by up to 8%.

  • Configurable S3 bucket lookup type improves interoperability with S3-compatible providers, such as Tencent and Alibaba. Configure lookup type via -<prefix>.s3.bucket-lookup-type or -common.storage.s3-bucket-lookup-type.

  • Configuration of TLS for S3 buckets is now possible via -<prefix>.s3.http.* and -common.storage.s3.http.* configuration options.

  • Mimirtool can now verify the validity of a Mimir runtime configuration file with the mimirtool runtime-config verify command.

  • Active series are now updated along with owned series. This means the number of active series for a tenant is more accurate after scaling out ingesters. As a result, ingesters now more precisely enforce tenants' series limits. This feature is only enabled when -ingester.track-ingester-owned-series or -ingester.use-ingester-owned-series-for-limits are enabled.

  • Store-gateway can be configured to explicitly disable or enable tenants. This is useful in cases where compaction slows down for a tenant to temporarily exclude another tenant while compaction catches up without affecting other tenants.

  • Remote read (/prometheus/api/v1/read) is becoming a first-class endpoint in Mimir with support in query stats logs and query blocking in the query-frontend. More coming in future releases.

Additionally, the following previously experimental features are now considered stable:

  • Rules tenant federation via the source_tenants field in rule groups.
  • Enabling recording, and alerting rules evaluation on a per-tenant basis.
  • Limiting the number of tenants a federated query can query.

Important changes

In Grafana Mimir 2.13 the following behavior has changed:

  • The default Docker image grafana/mimir is now based on the distroless image gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12.
    See Debugging distroless container images for more details on how to
    work with distroless images.

  • Error logs in the ingester are now sampled at 10% by default. Sampled log lines contain (sampled 1/10). The cortex_discarded_samples_total metric still tracks all discarded samples.

  • Anonymous usage statistics now include actual CPU usage instead of available CPU cores.

  • Continuous-test is no longer a standalone binary and is now part of Mimir as its own target. The published Docker image has been updated to use the new packaging.

The following deprecated configuration options are removed in Grafana Mimir 2.13:

  • The configuration option -log.buffered, which was deprecated in 2.11 and is now enabled by default.

Experimental features

Grafana Mimir 2.13 includes new features that are considered experimental and disabled by default.
Use them with caution and report any issues you encounter:

  • Experimental support for server-side circuit breakers in ingesters on read and write requests. This can be enabled using -ingester.push-circuit-breaker.enabled and -ingester.read-circuit-breaker.enabled options and further configured via the -ingester.push-circuit-breaker.* and -ingester.read-circuit-breaker.* options.

The following configuration options are deprecated and will be removed in a future Grafana Mimir release:

  • evaluation_delay field in the rule group configuration has been deprecated. Please use query_offset instead.

Bug fixes

  • OTLP ingestion: translate all HTTP 5xx errors into one of 502, 503, or 504, so that the otel-collector retries the failed requests.
  • OTLP ingestion: return properly formatted protobuf error messages when ingestion fails.
  • OTLP ingestion: generate target_info metric only when there are metrics in the request and there is at least one configured identifying label.
  • OTLP ingestion: don't discard timeseries paired with invalid exemplars. Instead, try to ingest the timeseries and discard only the invalid exemplars.
  • Subqueries: @ end() and @ start() now work correctly with queries split by time.
  • Native histograms: order exemplars before ingestion to improve success rate when ingesting multiple exemplars.
  • Native histograms: return HTTP 400 on invalid native histogram samples instead of HTTP 500. The metric cortex_discarded_samples_total{reason="invalid-native-histogram"} is now incremented on invalid histogram samples.

Helm chart improvements

The Grafana Mimir and Grafana Enterprise Metrics Helm charts are released independently.

Changelog

2.13.0

Grafana Mimir

  • [CHANGE] Build: grafana/mimir docker image is now based on gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12 image. Alpine-based docker image is still available as grafana/mimir-alpine, until Mimir 2.15. #8204 #8235
  • [CHANGE] Ingester: /ingester/flush endpoint is now only allowed to execute only while the ingester is in Running state. The 503 status code is returned if the endpoint is called while the ingester is not in Running state. #7486
  • [CHANGE] Distributor: Include label name in err-mimir-label-value-too-long error message: #7740
  • [CHANGE] Ingester: enabled 1 out 10 errors log sampling by default. All the discarded samples will still be tracked by the cortex_discarded_samples_total metric. The feature can be configured via -ingester.error-sample-rate (0 to log all errors). #7807
  • [CHANGE] Query-frontend: Query results caching and experimental query blocking now utilize the PromQL string-formatted query format rather than the unvalidated query as submitted to the frontend. #7742
    • Query results caching should be more stable as all equivalent queries receive the same cache key, but there may be cache churn on first deploy with the updated format
    • Query blocking can no longer be circumvented with an equivalent query in a different format; see Configure queries to block
  • [CHANGE] Query-frontend: stop using -validation.create-grace-period to clamp how far into the future a query can span. #8075
  • [CHANGE] Clamp GOMAXPROCS to runtime.NumCPU. #8201
  • [CHANGE] Anonymous usage statistics tracking: add CPU usage percentage tracking. #8282
  • [CHANGE] Added new metric cortex_compactor_disk_out_of_space_errors_total which counts how many times a compaction failed due to the compactor being out of disk. #8237
  • [CHANGE] Anonymous usage statistics tracking: report active series in addition to in-memory series. #8279
  • [CHANGE] Ruler: evaluation_delay field in the rule group configuration has been deprecated. Please use query_offset instead (it has the same exact meaning and behaviour). #8295
  • [CHANGE] General: remove -log.buffered. The configuration option has been enabled by default and deprecated since Mimir 2.11. #8395
  • [CHANGE] Ruler: promote tenant federation from experimental to stable. #8400
  • [CHANGE] Ruler: promote -ruler.recording-rules-evaluation-enabled and -ruler.alerting-rules-evaluation-enabled from experimental to stable. #8400

  • [FEATURE] Store-gateway: Allow specific tenants to be enabled or disabled via -store-gateway.enabled-tenants or -store-gateway.disabled-tenants CLI flags or their corresponding YAML settings. #7653
  • [FEATURE] New -<prefix>.s3.bucket-lookup-type flag configures lookup style type, used to access bucket in s3 compatible providers. #7684
  • [FEATURE] Querier: add experimental streaming PromQL engine, enabled with -querier.promql-engine=mimir. #7693 #7898 #7899 #8023 #8058 #8096 #8121 #8197 #8230 #8247 #8270 #8276 #8277 #8291 #8303 #8340 #8256 #8348
  • [FEATURE] New /ingester/unregister-on-shutdown HTTP endpoint allows dynamic access to ingesters' -ingester.ring.unregister-on-shutdown configuration. #7739

  • [FEATURE] Query-frontend, querier: new experimental /cardinality/active_native_histogram_metrics API to get active native histogram metric names with statistics about active native histogram buckets. #7982 #7986 #8008
  • [FEATURE] Alertmanager: Added -alertmanager.max-silences-count and -alertmanager.max-silence-size-bytes to set limits on per tenant silences. Disabled by default. #8241 #8249
  • [FEATURE] Ingester: add experimental support for the server-side circuit breakers when writing to and reading from ingesters. This can be enabled using -ingester.push-circuit-breaker.enabled and -ingester.read-circuit-breaker.enabled options. Further -ingester.push-circuit-breaker.* and -ingester.read-circuit-breaker.* options for configuring circuit-breaker are available. Added metrics cortex_ingester_circuit_breaker_results_total, cortex_ingester_circuit_breaker_transitions_total, cortex_ingester_circuit_breaker_current_state and cortex_ingester_circuit_breaker_request_timeouts_total. #8180 #8285 #8315 #8446
  • [FEATURE] Distributor, ingester: add new setting -validation.past-grace-period to limit how old (based on the wall clock minus OOO window) the ingested samples can be. The default 0 value disables this limit. #8262
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Distributor: add metrics cortex_distributor_samples_per_request and cortex_distributor_exemplars_per_request to track samples/exemplars per request. #8265
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Reduced memory allocations in functions used to propagate contextual information between gRPC calls. #7529
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Distributor: add experimental limit for exemplars per series per request, enabled with -distributor.max-exemplars-per-series-per-request, the number of discarded exemplars are tracked with cortex_discarded_exemplars_total{reason="too_many_exemplars_per_series_per_request"} #7989 #8010
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Store-gateway: merge series from different blocks concurrently. #7456
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Store-gateway: Add stage="wait_max_concurrent" to cortex_bucket_store_series_request_stage_duration_seconds which records how long the query had to wait for its turn for -blocks-storage.bucket-store.max-concurrent. #7609
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Querier: add cortex_querier_federation_upstream_query_wait_duration_seconds to observe time from when a querier picks up a cross-tenant query to when work begins on its single-tenant counterparts. #7209
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Compactor: Add cortex_compactor_block_compaction_delay_seconds metric to track how long it takes to compact blocks. #7635
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Store-gateway: add outcome label to cortex_bucket_stores_gate_duration_seconds histogram metric. Possible values for the outcome label are: rejected_canceled, rejected_deadline_exceeded, rejected_other, and permitted. #7784

  • [ENHANCEMENT] Querying: Remove OpEmptyMatch from regex concatenations. #8012
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Store-gateway: add -blocks-storage.bucket-store.max-concurrent-queue-timeout. When set, queries at the store-gateway's query gate will not wait longer than that to execute. If a query reaches the wait timeout, then the querier will retry the blocks on a different store-gateway. If all store-gateways are unavailable, then the query will fail with err-mimir-store-consistency-check-failed. #7777 #8149
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Store-gateway: add -blocks-storage.bucket-store.index-header.lazy-loading-concurrency-queue-timeout. When set, loads of index-headers at the store-gateway's index-header lazy load gate will not wait longer than that to execute. If a load reaches the wait timeout, then the querier will retry the blocks on a different store-gateway. If all store-gateways are unavailable, then the query will fail with err-mimir-store-consistency-check-failed. #8138

  • [BUGFIX] Ingester: turn native histogram validation errors in TSDB into soft ingester errors that result in returning 4xx to the end-user instead of 5xx. In the case of TSDB validation errors, the counter cortex_discarded_samples_total will be increased with the reason label set to "invalid-native-histogram". #7736 #7773
  • [BUGFIX] Do not wrap error message with sampled 1/<frequency> if it's not actually sampled. #7784

  • [BUGFIX] Distributor: Don't discard time series with invalid exemplars, just drop affected exemplars. #8224
  • [BUGFIX] Ingester: fixed in-memory series count when replaying a corrupted WAL. #8295
