Prometheus 3.7.0 is released

[George Krajcsovits]

Hello!

We are pleased to announce that Prometheus 3.7 has released.

This release includes one behavior change and the following features:

• [CHANGE] Remote-write: the following metrics are deprecated:
  • prometheus_remote_storage_samples_in_total, use prometheus_wal_watcher_records_read_total{type="samples"} and prometheus_remote_storage_samples_dropped_total instead,
  • prometheus_remote_storage_histograms_in_total, use prometheus_wal_watcher_records_read_total{type=~".*histogram_samples"} and prometheus_remote_storage_histograms_dropped_total instead,
  • prometheus_remote_storage_exemplars_in_total, use prometheus_wal_watcher_records_read_total{type="exemplars"} and prometheus_remote_storage_exemplars_dropped_total instead,
  • prometheus_remote_storage_highest_timestamp_in_seconds, use the more accurate prometheus_remote_storage_queue_highest_timestamp_seconds instead in dashboards and alerts to properly account for relabeling and for more accuracy. #17065
• [FEATURE] PromQL: Add support for experimental anchored and smoothed rate behind feature flag promql-extended-range-selectors. #16457
• [FEATURE] Federation: Add support for native histograms with custom buckets (NHCB). #17215

• [FEATURE] Remote-write: Add support for Azure Workload Identity as an authentication method for the receiver. #16788
• [FEATURE] Remote-write: Add type and unit labels to outgoing time series in remote-write 2.0 when the type-and-unit-labels feature flag is enabled. #17033
• [FEATURE] OTLP: Write start time of metrics as created time zero samples into TSDB when created-timestamp-zero-ingestion feature flag is enabled. #16951
