last_entity : string
This returns the identity of the last entity that was evaluated during stream
analysis. It may be the final rule that matched or the filter that
interrupted the processing.
A final rule is one that terminates the evaluation of the rule set (like an
"accept", "deny" or "redirect"). This works for TCP request and response
rules acting on the "content" rulesets, and on HTTP rules from
"http-request", "http-response" and "http-after-response" rule sets. The
legacy "redirect" rulesets are not supported (such information is not stored
there), and neither "tcp-request connection" nor "tcp-request session"
rulesets are supported because the information is stored at the stream level
and streams do not exist during these rules. In that case, the returned value
is equivalent to "last_rule_file:last_rule_line".
See also "last_rule_file", "last_rule_line".
For a filter, its identifier is returned as defined by the developers. If
this identifier is not defined, an hexadecimal value is returned
corresponding to an unique internal identifier.
The main purpose of this function is to be able to report in logs the last
entity that interrupted a processing, in order to help debugging issues. The
information returned on entities may changed in time and must not be used for
something else than debugging.
Example:
# Log the last entity, if any, and only if an error is reported
log-format "$HAPROXY_HTTP_LOG_FMT %{Q}[last_entity,when(error)]
last_rule_file : string
This returns the name of the configuration file containing the last final
rule that was matched during stream analysis. A final rule is one that
