Add exclusion pattern for hub.docker.com to both production
and default link-checker configurations.
Docker Hub often implements rate limiting and bot detection that
causes false positive link validation failures in CI environments.
Moved to new tooling repo.
Removed package scripts for now.
Script Gets commands from source code and grep docs for commands- replaces the CLI audit script- searches tagged repo branch source code for CLI commands- searches docs content the commands- allows including and excluding "categories" of docs paths to search
Running node [audit-cli-documentation.js](http://_vscodecontentref_/1) both successfully audits both Core and Enterprise
Core templates use Core-specific frontmatter
Enterprise templates use Enterprise-specific frontmatter
Fixes audit-cli-documentation.js so that it parses commands dynamically from the CLI output.
Some commands () only return top-level help output, which the script had some difficulty with.That seems mostly resolved, but might rear again.
Add exclusion patterns for StackExchange sites to both production
and default link-checker configurations:
- *.stackexchange.com
- stackoverflow.com
- *.stackoverflow.com
These sites often block automated requests/bots, causing false
positive link validation failures in CI environments.
Add comprehensive documentation for maintainers on how to:
- Create releases in docs-tooling (automated)
- Manually distribute binaries to docs-v2 (required for private repo)
- Update workflow references when needed
This addresses the missing process documentation for link-checker
binary distribution between the two repositories.
feat(ci): update link-checker to v1.2.2 and add manual sync workflow
- Update pr-link-check.yml to use link-checker-v1.2.2 with latest fixes
- Add sync-link-checker-binary.yml for manual binary distribution
- Improvements in v1.2.2: base URL detection, anchor validation, JSON parsing
The v1.2.2 release fixes the Hugo base URL detection issue and
improves anchor link validation that was tested in this PR.
Addresses customer confusion where scaling CPU alone doesn't improve
compactor performance. Compactor concurrency scales based on memory
allocation, not CPU count, so both resources should be scaled together.

fix(clustered): correct anchor link in scale-cluster documentation
Fix broken internal anchor link from #rrecommended-scaling-strategies-per-component
to #recommended-scaling-strategies-per-component (removed extra 'r').
This was used to test the improved link-checker anchor validation functionality.

chore(ci): Replaced PR link validation workflow with new workflow from docs-tooling/link-checker/.github-workflows-link-check.yml
chore: organize .gitignore
test: add content to trigger link-checker workflow
This small change tests the pr-link-check.yml workflow
feat: update link-checker workflow and documentation
- Add production config with corrected User-Agent placement
- Remove old link validation actions (replaced by link-checker)
fix: update link-checker workflow configuration
- Update Node.js version to 20 for dependency compatibility
feat: use pre-built link-checker binary from docs-tooling releases
- Replace building from source with downloading from releases
- Use GitHub API to get latest release and binary
- Maintain same artifact structure for downstream job
fix: improve change detection in pr-link-check workflow
- Use GitHub API for reliable PR file detection
- Add debug output to show all changed files
- Fix conditional logic for when jobs should run
docs: update TESTING.md with binary distribution and automated GitHub Actions integration
- Document pre-built binary download as recommended installation method
- Explain automated PR link checking workflow for docs-v2
- Replace manual GitHub Actions example with automated integration details
- Remove exaggerated language and specify actual exclusion types
fix(ci): download link-checker binary from docs-v2 releases
- Change binary source from private docs-tooling to public docs-v2 releases
- Fixes GitHub Actions permission issues accessing private repos
- Binary is now stored as a release asset on docs-v2 itself
test: add test file with valid links to verify workflow passes
test: remove temporary test file for link checker workflow
The test file was only needed to verify the workflow functionality
and should not be part of the documentation.
docs: update TESTING.md to document docs-v2 binary distribution
- Change primary installation method to download from docs-v2 releases
- Explain that binary distribution enables reliable GitHub Actions access
- Update automated workflow description to reflect docs-v2 release usage
- Maintain build-from-source as alternative option
refactor(ci): combine workflow into single job for cleaner PR display
- Merge detect-changes, build-site, and download-link-checker into single job
- All setup steps now run conditionally within one job
- Cleaner PR display shows only 'Check links in affected files'
- Maintains all functionality with improved UX
fix(ci): exclude problematic URLs from link checking
- Add reddit.com exclusions (blocks bots)
- Add support.influxdata.com exclusion (SSL certificate issues in CI)
- Prevents false positive failures in automated link checking
