- **changed** — vminsert in VictoriaMetrics cluster: the default value of -disableRerouting flag has changed from true to false, enabling slowness-based re-routing by default
- **changed** — vmsingle and vmselect in VictoriaMetrics cluster: the /api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series and /tags/delSeries endpoints now require POST method instead of accepting GET requests
- **security** — vmsingle and vmselect in VictoriaMetrics cluster: restrict /api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series and /tags/delSeries endpoints to POST method only to prevent SSRF-based data deletion attacks
- **added** — dashboards: add Fsync avg duration panel to the Troubleshooting section of the single-node, cluster, and vmagent dashboards
- **added** — vmagent: add name label identifying the corresponding -remoteWrite.url target to the vm_persistentqueue_* metrics exposed by persistent queue
- **added** — vmagent: add -remoteWrite.obfuscateLabels flag for hashing values of the specified labels before sending metrics to the corresponding -remoteWrite.url
- **added** — vmalert: add -replay.continueWithExecutionErr flag to allow continuing to replay other rules when a rule execution fails with a 422 response code
- **added** — vmalert: add template variable $interval to expose the alerting rule group's evaluation interval
- **added** — vmbackupmanager and alerts: introduce vm_backup_last_success_at metric to track the last successful backup by type
- **added** — vmbackupmanager and alerts: add alerting rules NoLatestBackupWithinLastDay, NoHourlyBackupWithinLastDay, NoDailyBackupWithinLast3Days, NoWeeklyBackupWithinLast14Days and NoMonthlyBackupWithinLast62Days
- **added** — vmctl: support Prometheus native histograms migration in remote read mode with conversion to _count, _sum and _bucket series with vmrange labels

##### [v1.149.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.149.0)

Released at 2026-07-31

**Update Note 1:** `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): the default value of `-disableRerouting` flag has changed from `true` to `false`, enabling [slowness-based re-routing](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/#slowness-based-re-routing) by default. Slowness re-routing is automatically disabled when `-replicationFactor` is greater than 1. If you rely on the old behavior, pass `-disableRerouting` command-line flag to `vminsert`. See [#11287](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11287).

**Update Note 2:** [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/) and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): the `/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series`, `/tags/delSeries` endpoints now require `POST` method. Previously, it also accepted `GET` requests. If you use `GET` requests for this endpoint, update your scripts or tooling to use `POST` instead. See [#5552](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5552).

* SECURITY: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/) and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): restrict `/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series`, `/tags/delSeries` endpoints to `POST` method only to prevent some [SSRF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_request_forgery)-based data deletion attacks. See [#5552](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5552).

* FEATURE: [dashboards](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/master/dashboards): add `Fsync avg duration` panel to the Troubleshooting section of the single-node, cluster, and vmagent dashboards. This panel surfaces degradation of IO operation for faster incident triage. See [#10432](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10432).
* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/): add `name` label identifying the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url` target to the `vm_persistentqueue_*` metrics exposed by persistent queue. See [#7944](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7944). Thanks to @tIGO for contribution.
* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/): add `-remoteWrite.obfuscateLabels` flag for hashing values of the specified labels before sending metrics to the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url`. This allows sharing metrics with external systems while keeping sensitive label values hidden. See [#10599](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10599).
* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmalert/): add `-replay.continueWithExecutionErr` flag to allow continuing to replay other rules when a rule execution fails with a 422 response code, which can happen due to an expression syntax error or a resource limit being hit. See [11313](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11313).
* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmalert/): add template variable `$interval` to expose the alerting rule group's evaluation interval. This allows generating dashboard links with a lookback window relative to the rule's interval, for example `&from={{ ($activeAt.Add (parseDurationTime (printf "-%s" .Interval))).UnixMilli }}&to={{ $activeAt.UnixMilli }}`. See [#11232](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11232). Thanks to @1solomonwakhungu for contribution.
* FEATURE: [vmbackupmanager](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmbackupmanager/) and [alerts](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/deployment/docker/rules):
