Masked: This package is masked.

Reason: VictoriaMetrics cluster mode (vminsert + vmselect + vmstorage) is shipped in the overlay for completeness and to give a clean upgrade path if a fleet ever outgrows the single-node sibling. It is NOT the recommended default: for ingestion rates below ~1M samples/sec the single-node variant (app-metrics/victoria-metrics{,-bin}) is simpler to operate and uses ~3x less memory. Unmask explicitly via /etc/portage/package.unmask if cluster mode is what you actually want; otherwise the single-node pair stays the daily driver. Same masking rationale applies to both the source-build and prebuilt variants — they are siblings, not alternatives, and the !! blocker between them prevents Portage from picking both at once.

Package Information

Description:: VictoriaMetrics cluster mode — the horizontally scalable variant of the VictoriaMetrics time-series database. The cluster decomposes the single-node binary into three independent services: - vmstorage — stores raw samples and serves queries. - vminsert — accepts ingested data and shards it across vmstorage. - vmselect — fans queries out across vmstorage and merges results. This is the prebuilt-binary variant: the upstream victoria-metrics-linux-amd64-vN.M.P-cluster.tar.gz release artifact is fetched from GitHub Releases and unpacked directly into /opt/victoriametrics/. No Go toolchain or compilation is required — install completes in seconds. Use the source-build sibling (app-metrics/victoria-metrics-cluster) when binary repackaging is not acceptable for policy reasons. For deployments below ~1M samples/sec the single-node sibling (app-metrics/victoria-metrics-bin) is recommended over the cluster.

    VictoriaMetrics cluster mode — the horizontally scalable variant of the
    VictoriaMetrics time-series database. The cluster decomposes the

      - vmstorage — stores raw samples and serves queries.

      - vmselect  — fans queries out across vmstorage and merges results.

    This is the prebuilt-binary variant: the upstream

    is fetched from GitHub Releases and unpacked directly into

    (app-metrics/victoria-metrics-cluster) when binary repackaging is
    not acceptable for policy reasons.

    For deployments below ~1M samples/sec the single-node sibling
    (app-metrics/victoria-metrics-bin) is recommended over the cluster.
