limit keyword does not work with the hidden keyword #837
Description
limit does not limit the hidden metrics.
Here is my test:
gen_log.sh
#!/bin/bash
for i in {1..100}
do
echo id=$i >> test.log
doneExecute gen_log.sh will generate 100 lines with sequence IDs, and write to the file test.log.
test.mtail
counter test_total by id limit 10
/id=(?P<id>\d+)/ {
test_total[$id] ++
}
test_hidden.mtail
hidden counter test_total by id limit 10
/id=(?P<id>\d+)/ {
test_total[$id] ++
}
Both are the same except for the hidden prefix.
start mtail:
./mtail -expired_metrics_gc_interval=30s -logtostderr -mtailDebug -v 10 --progs test.mtail --logs test.log
After 30 seconds, when the GC occurs, I see the following message:

But when using test_hidden.mtail, the above message is not displayed.
