This patch re-introduce the "bind" statement on log forward
sections to handle syslog TCP listeners as defined in
rfc-6587.
As complement it introduce "maxconn", "backlog" and "timeout
client" statements to parameter those listeners.
We'll need this so that it can return pointers to stacked protocol in
the future (for QUIC). In addition this removes a lot of tests for
protocol validity in the callers.
Some of them were checked further apart, or after a call to
str2listener() and they were simplified as well.
There's still a trick, we can fail to return a protocol in case the caller
accepts an fqdn for use later. This is what servers do and in this case it
is valid to return no protocol. A typical example is:
server foo localhost:1111
Thanks to this we don't need to specify "udp@" as it's implicitly a
datagram type listener that is expected, so any AF_INET/AF_INET4 address
will work.
For now only listeners can make use of AF_CUST_UDP and it requires hacks
in the DNS and logsrv code to remap it to AF_INET. Make str2sa_range()
smarter by detecting that it's called for a listener and only set these
protocol families for listeners. This way we can get rid of the hacks.
If a file descriptor was passed, we can optionally return it. This will
be useful for listening sockets which are both a pre-bound FD and a ready
socket.
These flags indicate whether the call is made to fill a bind or a server
line, or even just send/recv calls (like logs or dns). Some special cases
are made for outgoing FDs (e.g. pipes for logs) or socket FDs (e.g external
listeners), and there's a distinction between stream or dgram usage that's
expected to significantly help str2sa_range() proceed appropriately with
the input information. For now they are not used yet.
Now that str2sa_range() checks for appropriate port specification, we
don't need to implement adhoc test cases in every call place, if the
result is valid, the conditions are met otherwise the error message is
appropriately filled.
These flags indicate what is expected regarding port specifications. Some
callers accept none, some need fixed ports, some have it mandatory, some
support ranges, and some take an offset. Each possibilty is reflected by
an option. For now they are not exploited, but the goal is to instrument
str2sa_range() to properly parse that.
We currently have an argument to require that the address is resolved
but we'll soon add more, so let's turn it into a bit field. The old
"resolve" boolean is now PA_O_RESOLVE.
At some places (log fd@XXX, bind fd@XXX) we support using an explicit
file descriptor number, that is placed into the sockaddr for later use.
The problem is that till now it was done with an AF_UNSPEC family, which
is also used for other situations like missing info or rings (for logs).
Let's create an "official" family AF_CUST_EXISTING_FD for this case so
that we are certain the FD can be found in the address when it is set.
The receiver is the one which depends on the protocol while the listener
relies on the receiver. Let's move the protocol there. Since there's also
a list element to get back to the listener from the proto list, this list
element (proto_list) was moved as well. For now when scanning protos, we
still see listeners which are linked by their rx.proto_list part.
Commit 3835c0dcb ("MEDIUM: udp: adds minimal proto udp support for
message listeners.") introduced a problematic side effect in log server
address parser: if "udp@", "udp4@" or "udp6@" prefixes a log server's
address, the adress is passed as-is to the log server with a non-existing
family and fails like this when trying to send:
[ALERT] 259/195708 (3474) : socket() failed in logger #1: Address family not supported by protocol (errno=97)
The problem is that till now there was no UDP family, so logs expect an
AF_INET family to be passed for UDP there.
This patch manually remaps AF_CUST_UDP4 and AF_CUST_UDP6 to their "tcp"
equivalent that the log server parser expects. No backport is needed.
The use of "bind" wasn't that wise but was temporary. The problem is that
it will not allow to coexist with tcp. Let's explicitly call it "dgram-bind"
so that datagram listeners are expected here, leaving some room for stream
listeners later. This is the only change.
This patch adds a global counter of received syslog messages
and this one is exported on CLI "show info" as "CumRecvLogs".
This patch also updates internal conn counter and freq
of the listener and the proxy for each received log message to
prepare a further export on the "show stats".
Log forwarding:
It is possible to declare one or multiple log forwarding section,
haproxy will forward all received log messages to a log servers list.
log-forward <name>
Creates a new log forwarder proxy identified as <name>.
bind <addr> [param*]
Used to configure a log udp listener to receive messages to forward.
Only udp listeners are allowed, address must be prefixed using
'udp@', 'udp4@' or 'udp6@'. This supports for all "bind" parameters
found in 5.1 paragraph but most of them are irrelevant for udp/syslog case.
log global
log <address> [len <length>] [format <format>] [sample <ranges>:<smp_size>]
<facility> [<level> [<minlevel>]]
Used to configure target log servers. See more details on proxies
documentation.
If no format specified, haproxy tries to keep the incoming log format.
Configured facility is ignored, except if incoming message does not
present a facility but one is mandatory on the outgoing format.
If there is no timestamp available in the input format, but the field
exists in output format, haproxy will use the local date.
Example:
global
log stderr format iso local7
ring myring
description "My local buffer"
format rfc5424
maxlen 1200
size 32764
timeout connect 5s
timeout server 10s
# syslog tcp server
server mysyslogsrv 127.0.0.1:514 log-proto octet-count
log-forward sylog-loadb
bind udp4@127.0.0.1:1514
# all messages on stderr
log global
# all messages on local tcp syslog server
log ring@myring local0
# load balance messages on 4 udp syslog servers
log 127.0.0.1:10001 sample 1:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10002 sample 2:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10003 sample 3:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10004 sample 4:4 local0
This patch introduce a new fd handler used to parse syslog
message on udp.
The parsing function returns level, facility and metadata that
can be immediatly reused to forward message to a log server.
This handler is enabled on udp listeners if proxy is internally set
to mode PR_MODE_SYSLOG
This patch merges build message code between sink and log
and introduce a new API based on struct ist array to
prepare message header with zero copy, targeting the
log forwarding feature.
Log format 'iso' and 'timed' are now avalaible on logs line.
A new log format 'priority' is also added.
A boolean was mistakenly declared 'static THREAD_LOCAL' causing
the probe of a log to a 'not sampled' log server conditionned by
the last evaluated 'sampled log' server test on the same thread.
This results to unpredictable drops of logs on 'not sampled'
log servers as soon a 'sampled' log server is declared.
This patch removes the static THREAD_LOCAL attribute from this
boolean, fixing the issue and allowing to mix 'sampled' and
'not sampled' servers.
This fix should be backported in any branches which includes
the log sampling feature.
Since the commit cd0d2ed6e ("MEDIUM: log-format: make the LF parser aware of
sample expressions' end"), the LF_STEXPR label in the last switch-case statement
at the end of the for loop in the parse_logformat_string() function cannot be
reached anymore.
This patch should fix the issue #723.
Now it's possible to preserve spacing everywhere except in "log-format",
"log-format-sd" and "unique-id-format" directives, where spaces are
delimiters and are merged. That may be useful when the response payload
is specified as a log format string by "lf-file" or "lf-string", or even
for headers or anything else.
In order to merge spaces, a new option LOG_OPT_MERGE_SPACES is applied
exclusively on options passed to function parse_logformat_string().
This patch fixes an issue #701 ("http-request return log-format file
evaluation altering spacing of ASCII output/art").
This patch adds a missing break to end the loop in case when '%[' is not
properly closed with ']'.
The issue has been introduced with commit cd0d2ed ("MEDIUM: log-format:
make the LF parser aware of sample expressions' end").
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
This one was not easy because it was embarking many includes with it,
which other files would automatically find. At least global.h, arg.h
and tools.h were identified. 93 total locations were identified, 8
additional includes had to be added.
In the rare files where it was possible to finalize the sorting of
includes by adjusting only one or two extra lines, it was done. But
all files would need to be rechecked and cleaned up now.
It was the last set of files in types/ and proto/ and these directories
must not be reused anymore.
The current state of the logging is a real mess. The main problem is
that almost all files include log.h just in order to have access to
the alert/warning functions like ha_alert() etc, and don't care about
logs. But log.h also deals with real logging as well as log-format and
depends on stream.h and various other things. As such it forces a few
heavy files like stream.h to be loaded early and to hide missing
dependencies depending where it's loaded. Among the missing ones is
syslog.h which was often automatically included resulting in no less
than 3 users missing it.
Among 76 users, only 5 could be removed, and probably 70 don't need the
full set of dependencies.
A good approach would consist in splitting that file in 3 parts:
- one for error output ("errors" ?).
- one for log_format processing
- and one for actual logging.
Almost no change except moving the cli_kw struct definition after the
defines. Almost all users had both types&proto included, which is not
surprizing since this code is old and it used to be the norm a decade
ago. These places were cleaned.
The type file was slightly tidied. The cli-specific APPCTX_CLI_ST1_* flag
definitions were moved to cli.h. The type file was adjusted to include
buf-t.h and not the huge buf.h. A few call places were fixed because they
did not need this include.
global.h was one of the messiest files, it has accumulated tons of
implicit dependencies and declares many globals that make almost all
other file include it. It managed to silence a dependency loop between
server.h and proxy.h by being well placed to pre-define the required
structs, forcing struct proxy and struct server to be forward-declared
in a significant number of files.
It was split in to, one which is the global struct definition and the
few macros and flags, and the rest containing the functions prototypes.
The UNIX_MAX_PATH definition was moved to compat.h.
This one is particularly tricky to move because everyone uses it
and it depends on a lot of other types. For example it cannot include
arg-t.h and must absolutely only rely on forward declarations to avoid
dependency loops between vars -> sample_data -> arg. In order to address
this one, it would be nice to split the sample_data part out of sample.h.
The sink files could be moved with almost no change at since they
didn't rely on anything fancy. ssize_t required sys/types.h and
thread.h was needed for the locks.
A few includes were missing in each file. A definition of
struct polled_mask was moved to fd-t.h. The MAX_POLLERS macro was
moved to defaults.h
Stdio used to be silently inherited from whatever path but it's needed
for list_pollers() which takes a FILE* and which can thus not be
forward-declared.
And also rename standard.c to tools.c. The original split between
tools.h and standard.h dates from version 1.3-dev and was mostly an
accident. This patch moves the files back to what they were expected
to be, and takes care of not changing anything else. However this
time tools.h was split between functions and types, because it contains
a small number of commonly used macros and structures (e.g. name_desc)
which in turn cause the massive list of includes of tools.h to conflict
with the callers.
They remain the ugliest files of the whole project and definitely need
to be cleaned and split apart. A few types are defined there only for
functions provided there, and some parts are even OS-specific and should
move somewhere else, such as the symbol resolution code.
So the enums and structs were placed into http-t.h and the functions
into http.h. This revealed that several files were dependeng on http.h
but not including it, as it was silently inherited via other files.
This one is included almost everywhere and used to rely on a few other
.h that are not needed (unistd, stdlib, standard.h). It could possibly
make sense to split it into multiple parts to distinguish operations
performed on timers and the internal time accounting, but at this point
it does not appear much important.
All files that were including one of the following include files have
been updated to only include haproxy/api.h or haproxy/api-t.h once instead:
- common/config.h
- common/compat.h
- common/compiler.h
- common/defaults.h
- common/initcall.h
- common/tools.h
The choice is simple: if the file only requires type definitions, it includes
api-t.h, otherwise it includes the full api.h.
In addition, in these files, explicit includes for inttypes.h and limits.h
were dropped since these are now covered by api.h and api-t.h.
No other change was performed, given that this patch is large and
affects 201 files. At least one (tools.h) was already freestanding and
didn't get the new one added.
This patch removes all trailing LFs and Zeros from
log messages. Previously only the last LF was removed.
It's a regression from e8ea0ae6f6 "BUG/MINOR: logs:
prevent double line returns in some events."
This should fix github issue #654
It is possible to globally declare ring-buffers, to be used as target for log
servers or traces.
ring <ringname>
Creates a new ring-buffer with name <ringname>.
description <text>
The descritpition is an optional description string of the ring. It will
appear on CLI. By default, <name> is reused to fill this field.
format <format>
Format used to store events into the ring buffer.
Arguments:
<format> is the log format used when generating syslog messages. It may be
one of the following :
iso A message containing only the ISO date, followed by the text.
The PID, process name and system name are omitted. This is
designed to be used with a local log server.
raw A message containing only the text. The level, PID, date, time,
process name and system name are omitted. This is designed to be
used in containers or during development, where the severity
only depends on the file descriptor used (stdout/stderr). This
is the default.
rfc3164 The RFC3164 syslog message format. This is the default.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164)
rfc5424 The RFC5424 syslog message format.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424)
short A message containing only a level between angle brackets such as
'<3>', followed by the text. The PID, date, time, process name
and system name are omitted. This is designed to be used with a
local log server. This format is compatible with what the systemd
logger consumes.
timed A message containing only a level between angle brackets such as
'<3>', followed by ISO date and by the text. The PID, process
name and system name are omitted. This is designed to be
used with a local log server.
maxlen <length>
The maximum length of an event message stored into the ring,
including formatted header. If an event message is longer than
<length>, it will be truncated to this length.
size <size>
This is the optional size in bytes for the ring-buffer. Default value is
set to BUFSIZE.
Example:
global
log ring@myring local7
ring myring
description "My local buffer"
format rfc3164
maxlen 1200
Note: ring names are resolved during post configuration processing.
The http-error directive can now be used instead of errorfile to define an error
message in a proxy section (including default sections). This directive uses the
same syntax that http return rules. The only real difference is the limitation
on status code that may be specified. Only status codes supported by errorfile
directives are supported for this new directive. Parsing of errorfile directive
remains independent from http-error parsing. But functionally, it may be
expressed in terms of http-errors :
errorfile <status> <file> ==> http-errror status <status> errorfile <file>
Before this path, they rely directly on ring_write bypassing
a part of the sink API.
Now the maxlen parameter of the log will apply only on the text
message part (and not the header, for this you woud prefer
to use the maxlen parameter on the sink/ring).
sink_write prototype was also reviewed to return the number of Bytes
written to be compliant with the other write functions.
