[Add]: Victoria Metrics

[stavros-k]

Short description of the app

VM is a prometheus drop in replacement, which according to benchmarks is far more lightweight and fast.

It also has an operator, which we can investigate.
The documentation feels a bit more polished than prometheus.

I've read and agree with the following

• I've checked all open and closed issues and my request is not there.
• I've checked all open and closed pull requests and my request is not there.

Not going to work within our ecosystem.

we heavily rely on prometheus operator. That was already hell to get solid, not going to redo it.

Their clustered deployment can work fine too, without operator and without need of crds.
Tho it will need the use of subchart for the storage node for example (so replicas can be scaled independently on each component). I'm willing to take a stub on it later this year

The issue here is the fact we actually use the operator even for metrics scraping. It's kinda the industry standard to do it that way.

So you can add this, it just wouldn't get integrated into anything.

I see what you mean. I had totally "skipped" the scraping of the cluster. As my use case is very different (receiving metrics from external hosts) aka acting as a "storage" server.

I'll see in due time how this is gonna be added.

[Ornias1993]

Yeah, for external scraping it's a fine addition :)

We've decided to not-accept issues for chart requests anymore, because the vast majority of the issue tracker if flooded with them and we don't (and never have) actually plan to do anything with chart requests as maintainers.

Please join the discord to continue discussing chart requests :)
