Dear Maintainer, [ This is my first contribution to Debian and to an open source software in general. ] I just want to use only the vmagent part of the virctoria-metrics package. But the entire package is overs 80MB and it's a bit too much for me, Would it be possible to split the package in several binaries? For example on one side, vmbackup, vmrestore, and vmctl which are more like tools and the other side victoria-metrics, vmagent, vmalert and vmauth which are more like services. Thank you for your help.
"Me too" mode on. Yes, this is definitely useful to have vmagent in its own separate package with its own startup file, - without startig the database itself. Thanks, /mjt
Hey! I'd like to have these tools with integrated UI. Due to the policy of storing necessary packages for compilation within Debian, vmui and other vmutils web interfaces require many libraries from npm. Are you sure it is worth using this approach without a web interface? I think this is one of the useful features of this software, just like the web interface for Prometheus.
