The proxy's initialization is rather odd. First, init_new_proxy() is
called to zero all the lists and certain values, except those that can
come from defaults, which are initialized by proxy_preset_defaults().
The default server settings are also only set there.
This results in these settings not to be set for a number of internal
proxies that do not explicitly call proxy_preset_defaults() after
allocation, such as sink and log forwarders.
This was revealed by last commit 79aa63823 ("MINOR: server: always
initialize pp_tlvs for default servers") which crashes in log parsers
when applied to certain proxies which did not initialize their default
servers.
In theory this should be backported, however it would be desirable to
wait a bit before backporting it, in case certain parts would rely on
these elements not being initialized.
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
