Due to the way the stats socket work, it was not possible to
maintain the information related to the command entered, so
after filling a whole buffer, the request was lost and it was
considered that there was nothing to write anymore.
The major reason was that some flags were passed directly
during the first call to stats_dump_raw() instead of being
stored persistently in the session.
To definitely fix this problem, flags were added to the stats
member of the session structure.
A second problem appeared. When the stats were produced, a first
call to client_retnclose() was performed, then one or multiple
subsequent calls to buffer_write_chunks() were done. But once the
stats buffer was full and a reschedule operated, the buffer was
flushed, the write flag cleared from the buffer and nothing was
done to re-arm it.
For this reason, a check was added in the proto_uxst_stats()
function in order to re-call the client FSM when data were added
by stats_dump_raw(). Finally, the whole unix stats dump FSM was
rewritten to avoid all the magics it depended on. It is now
simpler and looks more like the HTTP one.
It is sometimes required to know some informations such as the
process uptime when consulting statistics. This patch adds the
"show info" command to query those informations on the UNIX
socket.
Removed old unused MODE_LOG and MODE_STATS, and replaced the "stats"
keyword in the global section. The new "stats" keyword in the global
section is used to create a UNIX socket on which the statistics will
be accessed. The client must issue a "show stat\n" command in order
to get a CSV-formated output similar to the output on the HTTP socket
in CSV mode.
A unix socket can now access the statistics. It currently only
recognizes the "show stat\n" command at the beginning of the
input, then returns the statistics in CSV format.
It is now possible to get CSV ouput from the statistics by
simply appending ";csv" to the HTTP request sent to get the
stats. The fields keep the same ordering as in the HTML page,
and a field "pxname" has been prepended at the beginning of
the line.
