The bytes_in, bytes_out, {req,res}.bytes_{in,out} sample fetch functions
are marked as internal dependencies only. But that's not exact, they are
statistics. Request traffic (bytes_in, req.bytes*) is usable starting
from the request, while response traffic (bytes_out, res.bytes*) is usable
as soon as a response begins to be received, and all are valid till the
end of the transaction.
The impact is that the log-format below:
log-format "req.bytes_in=%[req.bytes_in] req.bytes_out=%[req.bytes_out] res.bytes_in=%[res.bytes_in] res.bytes_out=%[res.bytes_out]"
is emitted too early and only logs zeroes when uploading 1MB and
downloading 1MB:
req.bytes_in=0 req.bytes_out=0 res.bytes_in=15288 res.bytes_out=0
This patch marks the request stats RQFIN and the response stats RSFIN,
so that they're valid at any moment and the logs backend knows it must
wait for the latest moment to emit such a line. With this change, the
line above now correctly produces:
req.bytes_in=1000157 req.bytes_out=1000157 res.bytes_in=1048629 res.bytes_out=1048629
This should be backported as far as the latest LTS probably, along with
these 2 previous patches:
BUG/MINOR: log: consider format expression dependencies to decide when to log
MINOR: sample: make RQ/RS stats available everywhere
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
