This one has been removed and is now totally superseded by ->target.
To get the server, one must use target_srv(&s->target) instead of
s->srv now.
The function ensures that non-server targets still return NULL.
This is in fact where those parts belong to. The old data_state was replaced
by applet.state and is now initialized when the applet is registered. It's
worth noting that the applet does not need to know the session nor the
buffer anymore since everything is brought by the stream interface.
It is possible that having a separate applet struct would simplify the
code but that's not a big deal.
I/O handlers are still delicate to manipulate. They have no type, they're
just raw functions which have no knowledge of themselves. Let's have them
declared as applets once for all. That way we can have multiple applets
share the same handler functions and we can store their names there. When
we later need to add more parameters (eg: usage stats), we'll be able to
do so in the applets themselves.
The CLI functions has been prefixed with "cli" instead of "stats" as it's
clearly what is going on there.
The applet descriptor in the stream interface should get all the applet
specific data (st0, ...) but this will be done in the next patch so that
we don't pollute this one too much.
As reported by Bryan Talbot, enabling and disabling a server in a disabled
proxy causes a segfault.
Changing the weight can also cause a similar segfault.
while working further on the changes to allow for dynamic
adding/removing of backend servers we noticed a potential problem: the
path given for the 'stats socket' global option may get truncated when
copying it into the sockaddr_un.sun_path field.
Attached patch checks the length, and reports an error if truncation
would happen.
This issue was noticed by Joerg Sonnenberger <joerg@NetBSD.org>.
This counter will help quickly spot whether there are new errors or not.
It is also assigned to each capture so that a script can keep trace of
which capture was taken when.
Debugging parsing errors can be greatly improved if we know what the parser
state was and what the buffer flags were (especially for closed inputs/outputs
and full buffers). Let's add that to the error snapshots.
When we're enabling a server again (unix CLI or stats interface), we must not mark
it completely up because it can take a while before a failure is detected. So we
mark it one step above failure, which means it's up but will be marked down upon
first failure.

The stats web interface must be read-only by default to prevent security
holes. As it is now allowed to enable/disable servers, a new keyword
"stats admin" is introduced to activate this admin level, conditioned by ACLs.
(cherry picked from commit 5334bab92ca7debe36df69983c19c21b6dc63f78)
Based on a patch provided by Judd Montgomery, it is now possible to
enable/disable servers from the stats web interface. This allows to select
several servers in a backend and apply the action to them at the same time.
Currently, there are 2 known limitations :
- The POST data are limited to one packet
(don't alter too many servers at a time).
- Expect: 100-continue is not supported.

There was no consistency between all the functions used to exchange data
between a buffer and a stream interface. Also, the functions used to send
data to a buffer did not consider the possibility that the buffer was
shutdown for read.
Now the functions are called buffer_{put,get}_{char,block,chunk,string}.
The old buffer_feed* functions have been left available for existing code
but marked deprecated.
If the global stats timeout statement was found before the stats socket
(or without), the parser would crash because the stats frontend was not
initialized. Now we have an allocation function which solves the issue.
This bug was introduced with 1.4 so it does not need backporting.
(was commit 1c5819d2498ae3643c3880507847f948a53d2773 in 1.4)
The statistics page (the HTML one) displays a garbage value on frontends using
"rate-limit session" in HTTP mode.
This is due to the usage of the same buffer for the macros converting the max
session rate and the limit.
Steps to reproduce :
Configuration file example :
listen bug :80
mode http
rate-limit sessions
stats enable
Then start refreshing the statistics page.
This bug was introduced just before the release of haproxy 1.4.0.
(was commit 6cfaf9e91969c87a9eab1d58a15d2d0a3f346c9b in 1.4)
It is now possible to dump some select table entries based on criteria
which apply to the stored data. This is enabled by appending the following
options to the end of the "show table" statement :
data.<data_type> {eq|ne|lt|gt|le|ge} <value>
For intance :
show table http_proxy data.conn_rate gt 5
show table http_proxy data.gpc0 ne 0
The compare applies to the integer value as it would be displayed, and
operates on signed long long integers.
It's a bit cumbersome to have to know all possible storable types
from the stats interface. Instead, let's have generic types for
all data, which will facilitate their manipulation.
This feature will be required at some point, when the stick tables are
used to enforce security measures. For instance, some visitors may be
incorrectly flagged as abusers and would ask the site admins to remove
their entry from the table.
It is now possible to dump a table's contents with keys, expire,
use count, and various data using the command above on the stats
socket.
"show table" only shows main table stats, while "show table <name>"
dumps table contents, only if the socket level is admin.
Now we're able to reject connections very early, so we need to use a
different counter for the connections that are received and the ones
that are accepted and converted into sessions, so that the rate limits
can still apply to the accepted ones. The session rate must still be
used to compute the rate limit, so that we can reject undesired traffic
without affecting the rate.
Till now, the frontend relied on the backend's options for INDEPSTR,
while at the time of accept, the frontend and backend are the same.
So we now use the frontend's pointer instead of the backend and we
don't have any dependency on the backend anymore in the frontend's
accept code.
The conn_retries still lies in the session and its initialization depends
on the backend when it may not yet be known. Let's first move it to the
stream interface.
The connection timeout stored in the buffer has not been used since the
stream interface were introduced. Let's get rid of it as it's one of the
things that complicate factoring of the accept() functions.
For a long time we had two large accept() functions, one for TCP
sockets instanciating proxies, and another one for UNIX sockets
instanciating the stats interface.
A lot of code was duplicated and both did not work exactly the same way.
Now we have a stream_sock layer accept() called for either TCP or UNIX
sockets, and this function calls the frontend-specific accept() function
which does the rest of the frontend-specific initialisation.
Some code is still duplicated (session & task allocation, stream interface
initialization), and might benefit from having an intermediate session-level
accept() callback to perform such initializations. Still there are some
minor differences that need to be addressed first. For instance, the monitor
nets should only be checked for proxies and not for other connection templates.
Last, we renamed l->private as l->frontend. The "private" pointer in
the listener is only used to store a frontend, so let's rename it to
eliminate this ambiguity. When we later support detached listeners
(eg: FTP), we'll add another field to avoid the confusion.
It was disturbing to see a backend name associated with a bad request
when this "backend" was in fact the frontend. Instead, we now display
"backend <NONE>" if the "backend" has no backend capability :
> show errors
[25/Mar/2010:06:44:25.394] frontend fe (#1): invalid request

This warning was first reported by Ross West on FreeBSD, then by
Holger Just on OpenSolaris. It also happens on 64bit Linux. However,
fixing the format to use long int complains on 32bit Linux where
ptrdiff_t is apparently different. Better cast the pointer difference
to an int then.
When trying to spot some complex bugs, it's often needed to access
information on stuck sessions, which is quite difficult. This new
command helps one get detailed information about a session, with
flags, timers, states, etc... The buffer data are not dumped yet.
Often we need to understand why some transfers were aborted or what
constitutes server response errors. With those two counters, it is
now possible to detect an unexpected transfer abort during a data
phase (eg: too short HTTP response), and to know what part of the
server response errors may in fact be assigned to aborted transfers.
There are many information available in the stats page that can only
be seen when the mouse hovers over them. But it's hard to know where
those information are. Now with a discrete dotted underline it's easier
to spot those areas.
The current and max request rates are now reported when the mouse flies
over the session rate cur/max. The total requests is displayed with the
status codes over the total sessions cell.
It is wrong to merge FE and BE stats for a proxy because when we consult a
BE's stats, it reflects the FE's stats eventhough the BE has received no
traffic. The most common example happens with listen instances, where the
backend gets credited for all the trafic even when a use_backend rule makes
use of another backend.
This is a first attempt to add a maintenance mode on servers, using
the stat socket (in admin level).
It can be done with the following command :
- disable server <backend>/<server>
- enable server <backend>/<server>
In this mode, no more checks will be performed on the server and it
will be marked as a special DOWN state (MAINT).
If some servers were tracking it, they'll go DOWN until the server
leaves the maintenance mode. The stats page and the CSV export also
display this special state.
This can be used to disable the server in haproxy before doing some
operations on this server itself. This is a good complement to the
"http-check disable-on-404" keyword and works in TCP mode.
