Use Cases

By default, Prometheus (link) and VictoriaMetrics (link) scrape Prometheus endpoints with enabled compression.

For Vector's prometheus_scrape source we can do the same thing - scrape with enabled compression. Do we need enable it or not by default - is up to discussion.

Attempted Solutions

N/A

Proposal

Add compression support for the prometheus_scrape endpoint. Also, we can add not only Gzip but other algorithms like Zstd too.
