  • Bug fixes and changes:

    • Fixed scrape manager failing to reload properly when SD configuration changes rapidly.
    • Prevent memory leak in remote-write path when the receiving endpoint is unavailable.
    • Native Histograms are no longer experimental. They are fully supported for production workloads.
    • Added support for OpenTelemetry traces within the Prometheus UI to correlate metrics and traces.
    • TSDB compaction speed optimized by improving the block merging algorithm.
    • Allow scraping of multiple targets using a single HTTP/2 connection to reduce overhead.
