-streamAggr.dropInputLabels array
   An optional list of labels to drop from samples before stream de-duplication and aggregation . See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#dropping-unneeded-labels
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-streamAggr.ignoreFirstIntervals int
   Number of aggregation intervals to skip after the start. Increase this value if you observe incorrect aggregation results after restarts. It could be caused by receiving unordered delayed data from clients pushing data into the database. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#ignore-aggregation-intervals-on-start
-streamAggr.ignoreOldSamples
   Whether to ignore input samples with old timestamps outside the current aggregation interval. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#ignoring-old-samples
-streamAggr.keepInput
   Whether to keep all the input samples after the aggregation with -streamAggr.config. By default, only aggregated samples are dropped, while the remaining samples are stored in the database. See also -streamAggr.dropInput and https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/
-tls array
   Whether to enable TLS for incoming HTTP requests at the given -httpListenAddr (aka https). -tlsCertFile and -tlsKeyFile must be set if -tls is set. See also -mtls
   Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Empty values are set to false.
-tlsAutocertCacheDir string
   Directory to store TLS certificates issued via Let's Encrypt. Certificates are lost on restarts if this flag isn't set. This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/
-tlsAutocertEmail string
   Contact email for the issued Let's Encrypt TLS certificates. See also -tlsAutocertHosts and -tlsAutocertCacheDir .This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/
-tlsAutocertHosts array
   Optional hostnames for automatic issuing of Let's Encrypt TLS certificates. These hostnames must be reachable at -httpListenAddr . The -httpListenAddr must listen tcp port 443 . The -tlsAutocertHosts overrides -tlsCertFile and -tlsKeyFile . See also -tlsAutocertEmail and -tlsAutocertCacheDir . This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-tlsCertFile array
   Path to file with TLS certificate for the corresponding -httpListenAddr if -tls is set. Prefer ECDSA certs instead of RSA certs as RSA certs are slower. The provided certificate file is automatically re-read every second, so it can be dynamically updated. See also -tlsAutocertHosts
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-tlsCipherSuites array
   Optional list of TLS cipher suites for incoming requests over HTTPS if -tls is set. See the list of supported cipher suites at https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#pkg-constants
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-tlsKeyFile array
   Path to file with TLS key for the corresponding -httpListenAddr if -tls is set. The provided key file is automatically re-read every second, so it can be dynamically updated. See also -tlsAutocertHosts
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-tlsMinVersion array
   Optional minimum TLS version to use for the corresponding -httpListenAddr if -tls is set. Supported values: TLS10, TLS11, TLS12, TLS13
   Supports an array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
   Value can contain comma inside single-quoted or double-quoted string, {}, [] and () braces.
-usePromCompatibleNaming
   Whether to replace characters unsupported by Prometheus with underscores in the ingested metric names and label names. For example, foo.bar{a.b='c'} is transformed into foo_bar{a_b='c'} during data ingestion if this flag is set. See https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/data_model/#metric-names-and-labels
-version
   Show VictoriaMetrics version
-vmalert.proxyURL string
   Optional URL for proxying requests to vmalert. For example, if -vmalert.proxyURL=http://vmalert:8880 , then alerting API requests such as /api/v1/rules from Grafana will be proxied to http://vmalert:8880/api/v1/rules
-vmui.customDashboardsPath string
   Optional path to vmui dashboards. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/master/app/vmui/packages/vmui/public/dashboards
-vmui.defaultTimezone string
