MAJOR: spoe: Add an experimental Stream Processing Offload Engine SPOE makes possible the communication with external components to retrieve some info using an in-house binary protocol, the Stream Processing Offload Protocol (SPOP). In the long term, its aim is to allow any kind of offloading on the streams. This first version, besides being experimental, won't do lot of things. The most important today is to validate the protocol design and lay the foundations of what will, one day, be a full offload engine for the stream processing. So, for now, the SPOE can offload the stream processing before "tcp-request content", "tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And it only supports variables creation/suppression. But, in spite of these limited features, we can easily imagine to implement a SSO solution, an ip reputation service or an ip geolocation service. Internally, the SPOE is implemented as a filter. So, to use it, you must use following line in a proxy proxy section: frontend my-front ... filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file> ... It uses its own configuration file to keep the HAProxy configuration clean. It is also a easy way to disable it by commenting out the filter line. See "doc/SPOE.txt" for all details about the SPOE configuration.

Stream Processing Offload Engine (SPOE)
MEDIUM: spoe: Add support of ACLS to enable or disable sending of SPOE messages Now, it is possible to conditionnaly send a SPOE message by adding an ACL-based condition on the "event" line, in a "spoe-message" section. Here is the example coming for the SPOE documentation: spoe-message get-ip-reputation args ip=src event on-client-session if ! { src -f /etc/haproxy/whitelist.lst } To avoid mixin with proxy's ACLs, each SPOE message has its private ACL list. It possible to declare named ACLs in "spoe-message" section, using the same syntax than for proxies. So we can rewrite the previous example to use a named ACL: spoe-message get-ip-reputation args ip=src acl ip-whitelisted src -f /etc/haproxy/whitelist.lst event on-client-session if ! ip-whitelisted ACL-based conditions are executed in the context of the stream that handle the client and the server connections.

From the stream point of view, it is the latency added by the SPOE processing. * request time : It is the encoding time. It includes ACLs processing, if any. For fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments. * queue time : the delay before the request gets out the sending queue. For fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments. * waiting time: the delay before the reponse is received. No fragmentation supported here. * response time: the delay to process the response. No fragmentation supported here. * total time: (unused for now). It is the sum of all events or groups processed by the SPOE for a specific threads. Log messages has been updated. Before, only errors was logged (status_code != 0). Now every processing is logged, following this format: SPOE: [AGENT] <TYPE:NAME> sid=STREAM-ID st=STATUC-CODE reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT where: AGENT is the agent name TYPE is EVENT of GROUP NAME is the event or the group name STREAM-ID is an integer, the unique id of the stream STATUS_CODE is the processing's status code reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT are delays descrive above For all these delays, -1 means the processing was interrupted before the end. So -1 for the queue time means the request was never dequeued. For fragmented frames it is harder to know when the interruption happened. For now, messages are logged using the same logger than the backend of the stream which initiated the request.

* SPOA : Stream Processing Offload Agent.
A SPOA is a service that will receive info from a SPOE to offload the
stream processing. An agent manages several servers. It uses a backend to
reference all of them. By extension, these servers can also be called
agents.
* SPOP : Stream Processing Offload Protocol, used by SPOEs to talk to SPOA
servers.
This protocol is used by engines to talk to agents. It is an in-house
binary protocol described in this documentation.
1. Introduction
----------------
SPOE is a feature introduced in HAProxy 1.7. It makes possible the
communication with external components to retrieve some info. The idea started
with the problems caused by most ldap libs not working fine in event-driven
systems (often at least the connect() is blocking). So, it is hard to properly
implement Single Sign On solution (SSO) in HAProxy. The SPOE will ease this
kind of processing, or we hope so.
Now, the aim of SPOE is to allow any kind of offloading on the streams. First
releases, besides being experimental, won't do lot of things. As we will see,
there are few handled events and even less actions supported. Actually, for
now, the SPOE can offload the processing before "tcp-request content",
"tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And it only
supports variables definition. But, in spite of these limited features, we can
easily imagine to implement SSO solution, ip reputation or ip geolocation
services.
2. SPOE configuration
----------------------
Because SPOE is implemented as a filter, To use it, you must declare a "filter
spoe" line in a proxy section (frontend/backend/listen) :
frontend my-front
...
filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file>
...
The "config" parameter is mandatory. It specififies the SPOE configuration
file. The engine name is optional. It can be set to declare the scope to use in
the SPOE configuration. So it is possible to use the same SPOE configuration
for several engines. If no name is provided, the SPOE configuration must not
contain any scope directive.
We use a separate configuration file on purpose. By commenting SPOE filter
line, you completly disable the feature, including the parsing of sections
reserved to SPOE. This is also a way to keep the HAProxy configuration clean.
A SPOE configuration file must contains, at least, the SPOA configuration
MEDIUM: spoe: Parse new "spoe-group" section in SPOE config file For now, this section is only parsed. It should have the following format: spoe-group <grp-name> messages <msg-name> ... And then SPOE groups must be referenced in spoe-agent section: spoe-agnt <name> ... groups <grp-name> ... The purpose of these groups is to trigger messages sending from TCP or HTTP rules, directly from HAProxy configuration, and not on specific event. This part will be added in another patch. It is important to note that a message belongs at most to a group.

("spoe-agent" section) and SPOE messages/groups ("spoe-message" or "spoe-group"
sections) attached to this agent.

2016-10-27 20:29:49 +00:00
IMPORTANT : The configuration of a SPOE filter must be located in a dedicated
file. But the backend used by a SPOA must be declared in HAProxy configuration
file.
2.1. SPOE scope
-------------------------
If you specify an engine name on the SPOE filter line, then you need to define
scope in the SPOE configuration with the same name. You can have several SPOE
scope in the same file. In each scope, you must define one and only one
"spoe-agent" section to configure the SPOA linked to your SPOE and several

2016-10-27 20:29:49 +00:00
A SPOE scope starts with this kind of line :
[<name>]
where <name> is the same engine name specified on the SPOE filter line. The
scope ends when the file ends or when another scope is found.

[my-first-engine]
spoe-agent my-agent

MINOR: spoe: Add 'option continue-on-error' statement in spoe-agent section By default, for a specific stream, when an abnormal/unexpected error occurs, the SPOE is disabled for all the transaction. So if you have several events configured, such error on an event will disabled all followings. For TCP streams, this will disable the SPOE for the whole session. For HTTP streams, this will disable it for the transaction (request and response). To bypass this behaviour, you can set 'continue-on-error' option in 'spoe-agent' section. With this option, only the current event will be ignored.

MINOR: spoe: add register-var-names directive in spoe-agent configuration In addition to "option force-set-var", recently added, this directive can be used to selectivelly register unknown variable names, without totally relaxing their registration during the runtime, like "option force-set-var" does. So there is no way for a malicious agent to exhaust memory by defining a too high number of variable names. In other hand, you need to enumerate all variable names. This could be painfull in some circumstances. Remember, this directive is only usefull when the variable names are not referenced anywhere in the HAProxy configuration or the SPOE one. Thanks to Etienne Carrire for his help on this part.

- option force-set-var
MINOR: spoe: Add "option set-on-error" statement It defines the variable to set when an error occurred during an event processing. It will only be set when an error occurred in the scope of the transaction. As for all other variables define by the SPOE, it will be prefixed. So, if your variable name is "error" and your prefix is "my_spoe_pfx", the variable will be "txn.my_spoe_pfx.error". When set, the variable is the boolean "true". Note that if "option continue-on-error" is set, the variable is not automatically removed between events processing.

MAJOR: spoe: Add an experimental Stream Processing Offload Engine SPOE makes possible the communication with external components to retrieve some info using an in-house binary protocol, the Stream Processing Offload Protocol (SPOP). In the long term, its aim is to allow any kind of offloading on the streams. This first version, besides being experimental, won't do lot of things. The most important today is to validate the protocol design and lay the foundations of what will, one day, be a full offload engine for the stream processing. So, for now, the SPOE can offload the stream processing before "tcp-request content", "tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And it only supports variables creation/suppression. But, in spite of these limited features, we can easily imagine to implement a SSO solution, an ip reputation service or an ip geolocation service. Internally, the SPOE is implemented as a filter. So, to use it, you must use following line in a proxy proxy section: frontend my-front ... filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file> ... It uses its own configuration file to keep the HAProxy configuration clean. It is also a easy way to disable it by commenting out the filter line. See "doc/SPOE.txt" for all details about the SPOE configuration.

MINOR: spoe: add register-var-names directive in spoe-agent configuration In addition to "option force-set-var", recently added, this directive can be used to selectivelly register unknown variable names, without totally relaxing their registration during the runtime, like "option force-set-var" does. So there is no way for a malicious agent to exhaust memory by defining a too high number of variable names. In other hand, you need to enumerate all variable names. This could be painfull in some circumstances. Remember, this directive is only usefull when the variable names are not referenced anywhere in the HAProxy configuration or the SPOE one. Thanks to Etienne Carrire for his help on this part.

MEDIUM: spoe: Parse new "spoe-group" section in SPOE config file For now, this section is only parsed. It should have the following format: spoe-group <grp-name> messages <msg-name> ... And then SPOE groups must be referenced in spoe-agent section: spoe-agnt <name> ... groups <grp-name> ... The purpose of these groups is to trigger messages sending from TCP or HTTP rules, directly from HAProxy configuration, and not on specific event. This part will be added in another patch. It is important to note that a message belongs at most to a group.
2017-09-21 08:23:10 +00:00
groups <grp-name> ...

<grp-name> is the name of a SPOE group.
Groups delcared here must be found in the same engine scope, else an error is
triggered during the configuration parsing. You can have many "groups" lines.
See also: "spoe-group" section.
MINOR: spoe: Add "maxconnrate" and "maxerrrate" statements "maxconnrate" is the maximum number of connections per second. The SPOE will stop to open new connections if the maximum is reached and will wait to acquire an existing one. "maxerrrate" is the maximum number of errors per second. The SPOE will stop its processing if the maximum is reached. These options replace hardcoded macros MAX_NEW_SPOE_APPLETS and MAX_NEW_SPOE_APPLET_ERRS. We use it to limit SPOE activity, especially when servers are down..
2016-11-16 14:01:12 +00:00
maxconnrate <number>
Set the maximum number of connections per second to <number>. The SPOE will
stop to open new connections if the maximum is reached and will wait to
acquire an existing one. So it is important to set "timeout hello" to a
relatively small value.
maxerrrate <number>
Set the maximum number of errors per second to <number>. The SPOE will stop
its processing if the maximum is reached.

MINOR: spoe: Add 'option continue-on-error' statement in spoe-agent section By default, for a specific stream, when an abnormal/unexpected error occurs, the SPOE is disabled for all the transaction. So if you have several events configured, such error on an event will disabled all followings. For TCP streams, this will disable the SPOE for the whole session. For HTTP streams, this will disable it for the transaction (request and response). To bypass this behaviour, you can set 'continue-on-error' option in 'spoe-agent' section. With this option, only the current event will be ignored.
2016-11-14 09:54:21 +00:00
option continue-on-error
Do not stop the events processing when an error occurred on a stream.
By default, for a specific stream, when an abnormal/unexpected error occurs,
the SPOE is disabled for all the transaction. So if you have several events
configured, such error on an event will disabled all followings. For TCP
streams, this will disable the SPOE for the whole session. For HTTP streams,
this will disable it for the transaction (request and response).
When set, this option bypass this behaviour and only the current event will
be ignored.
MINOR: spoe: add force-set-var option in spoe-agent configuration For security reasons, the spoe filter was only able to change values of existing variables. In specific cases (ex : with LUA code), the name of variables are unknown at the configuration parsing phase. The force-set-var option can be enabled to register all variables.
2017-12-14 09:36:40 +00:00
option force-set-var
By default, SPOE filter only register already known variables (mainly from
parsing of the configuration). If you want that haproxy trusts the agent and
registers all variables (ex: can be useful for LUA workload), activate this
option.
Caution : this option opens to a variety of attacks such as a rogue SPOA that
asks to register too many variables.

MINOR: spoe: Add "option set-on-error" statement It defines the variable to set when an error occurred during an event processing. It will only be set when an error occurred in the scope of the transaction. As for all other variables define by the SPOE, it will be prefixed. So, if your variable name is "error" and your prefix is "my_spoe_pfx", the variable will be "txn.my_spoe_pfx.error". When set, the variable is the boolean "true". Note that if "option continue-on-error" is set, the variable is not automatically removed between events processing.
2016-11-16 14:36:19 +00:00
option set-on-error <var name>
Define the variable to set when an error occurred during an event processing.
Arguments :
<var name> is the variable name, without the scope. The name may only
contain characters 'a-z', 'A-Z', '0-9', '.' and '_'.
This variable will only be set when an error occurred in the scope of the
transaction. As for all other variables define by the SPOE, it will be
prefixed. So, if your variable name is "error" and your prefix is
"my_spoe_pfx", the variable will be "txn.my_spoe_pfx.error".
MINOR: spoe: Add status code in error variable instead of hardcoded value Now, when option "set-on-error" is enabled, we set a status code representing the error occurred instead of "true". For values under 256, it represents an error coming from the engine. Below 256, it reports a SPOP error. In this case, to retrieve the right SPOP status code, you must remove 256 to this value. Here are possible values: * 1: a timeout occurred during the event processing. * 2: an error was triggered during the ressources allocation. * 255: an unknown error occurred during the event processing. * 256+N: a SPOP error occurred during the event processing.
2017-01-04 15:39:11 +00:00
When set, the variable is an integer representing the error reason. For values
under 256, it represents an error coming from the engine. Below 256, it
reports a SPOP error. In this case, to retrieve the right SPOP status code,
you must remove 256 to this value. Here are possible values:
* 1 a timeout occurred during the event processing.
* 2 an error was triggered during the ressources allocation.

* 4 the fragmentation of a payload is aborted.
MEDIUM: spoe/rules: Process "send-spoe-group" action The messages processing is done using existing functions. So here, the main task is to find the SPOE engine to use. To do so, we loop on all filter instances attached to the stream. For each, we check if it is a SPOE filter and, if yes, if its name is the one used to declare the "send-spoe-group" action. We also take care to return an error if the action processing is interrupted by HAProxy (because of a timeout or an error at the HAProxy level). This is done by checking if the flag ACT_FLAG_FINAL is set. The function spoe_send_group is the action_ptr callback ot

2017-01-04 15:39:11 +00:00
* 255 an unknown error occurred during the event processing.
* 256+N a SPOP error occurred during the event processing (see section
"Errors & timeouts").
Note that if "option continue-on-error" is set, the variable is not
automatically removed between events processing.

option set-process-time <var name>
Define the variable to set to report the processing time of the last event or
group.
Arguments :
<var name> is the variable name, without the scope. The name may only
contain characters 'a-z', 'A-Z', '0-9', '.' and '_'.
This variable will be set in the scope of the transaction. As for all other

is "process_time" and your prefix is "my_spoe_pfx", the variable will be
"txn.my_spoe_pfx.process_time".
When set, the variable is an integer representing the delay to process the
event or the group, in milliseconds. From the stream point of view, it is the
latency added by the SPOE processing for the last handled event or group.
If several events or groups are processed for the same stream, this value
will be overrideen.

is "total_time" and your prefix is "my_spoe_pfx", the variable will be
"txn.my_spoe_pfx.total_time".
When set, the variable is an integer representing the sum of processing times

option var-prefix <prefix>
Define the prefix used when variables are set by an agent.
Arguments :
<prefix> is the prefix used to limit the scope of variables set by an
agent.
To avoid conflict with other variables defined by HAProxy, all variables
names will be prefixed. By default, the "spoe-agent" name is used. This
option can be used to customize it.
The prefix will be added between the variable scope and its name, separated
by a '.'. It may only contain characters 'a-z', 'A-Z', '0-9', '.' and '_', as
for variables name. In HAProxy configuration, you need to use this prefix as
a part of the variables name. For example, if an agent define the variable
"myvar" in the "txn" scope, with the prefix "my_spoe_pfx", then you should
use "txn.my_spoe_pfx.myvar" name in your HAProxy configuration.

Arguments :
<timeout> is the timeout value specified in milliseconds by default, but
can be in any other unit if the number is suffixed by the unit,
as explained at the top of this document.
use-backend <backend>
Specify the backend to use. It must be defined.
Arguments :
<backend> is the name of a valid "backend" section.
2.3. "spoe-message" section
----------------------------
To offload the stream processing, SPOE will send messages with specific
information at a specific moment in the stream life and will wait for
corresponding replies to know what to do.
spoe-message <name>
Create a new SPOE message with the name <name>.
Arguments :
<name> is the name of the SPOE message.
Here you define a message that can be referenced in a "spoe-agent"
section. Following keywords are supported :
MEDIUM: spoe: Add support of ACLS to enable or disable sending of SPOE messages Now, it is possible to conditionnaly send a SPOE message by adding an ACL-based condition on the "event" line, in a "spoe-message" section.

It possible to declare named ACLs in "spoe-message" section, using the same syntax than for proxies. So we can rewrite the previous example to use a named ACL: spoe-message get-ip-reputation args ip=src acl ip-whitelisted src -f /etc/haproxy/whitelist.lst event on-client-session if ! ip-whitelisted ACL-based conditions are executed in the context of the stream that handle the client and the server connections.

This section can be used to declare a group of SPOE messages. Unlike messages
referenced in a "spoe-agent" section, messages inside a group are not sent on a
specific event. The sending must be triggered by TCP or HTTP rules, from the
HAProxy configuration.
spoe-group <name>
Create a new SPOE group with the name <name>.
Arguments :
<name> is the name of the SPOE group.
Here you define a group of SPOE messages that can be referenced in a
"spoe-agent" section. Following keywords are supported :
- messages
See also: "spoe-agent" and "spoe-message" sections.
messages <msg-name> ...
Declare the list of SPOE messages belonging to the group.
Arguments :
<msg-name> is the name of a SPOE message.
Messages declared here must be found in the same engine scope, else an error
is triggered during the configuration parsing. Furthermore, a message belongs
at most to a group. You can have many "messages" lines.

3. SPOP specification
----------------------
3.1. Data types
----------------
Here is the bytewise representation of typed data:
TYPED-DATA : <TYPE:4 bits><FLAGS:4 bits><DATA>
Supported types and their representation are:
TYPE | ID | DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------+-----+----------------------------------
NULL | 0 | NULL : <0>
Boolean | 1 | BOOL : <1+FLAG>
32bits signed integer | 2 | INT32 : <2><VALUE:varint>
32bits unsigned integer | 3 | UINT32 : <3><VALUE:varint>
64bits signed integer | 4 | INT64 : <4><VALUE:varint>
32bits unsigned integer | 5 | UNIT64 : <5><VALUE:varint>
IPV4 | 6 | IPV4 : <6><STRUCT IN_ADDR:4 bytes>
IPV6 | 7 | IPV6 : <7><STRUCT IN_ADDR6:16 bytes>
String | 8 | STRING : <8><LENGTH:varint><BYTES>
Binary | 9 | BINARY : <9><LENGTH:varint><BYTES>
10 -> 15 unused/reserved | - | -
-----------------------------+-----+----------------------------------
Variable-length integer (varint) are encoded using Peers encoding:
0 <= X < 240 : 1 byte (7.875 bits) [ XXXX XXXX ]
240 <= X < 2288 : 2 bytes (11 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 0XXX XXXX ]
2288 <= X < 264432 : 3 bytes (18 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ] [ 0XXX XXXX ]
264432 <= X < 33818864 : 4 bytes (25 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ]*2 [ 0XXX XXXX ]
33818864 <= X < 4328786160 : 5 bytes (32 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ]*3 [ 0XXX XXXX ]
...
For booleans, the value (true or false) is the first bit in the FLAGS
bitfield. if this bit is set to 0, then the boolean is evaluated as false,
otherwise, the boolean is evaluated as true.
3.2. Frames
------------
Exchange between HAProxy and agents are made using FRAME packets. All frames
must be prefixed with their size encoded on 4 bytes in network byte order:
<FRAME-LENGTH:4 bytes> <FRAME>
A frame always starts with its type, on one byte, followed by metadata
containing flags, on 4 bytes and a two variable-length integer representing the
stream identifier and the frame identifier inside the stream:
FRAME : <FRAME-TYPE:1 byte> <METADATA> <FRAME-PAYLOAD>
METADATA : <FLAGS:4 bytes> <STREAM-ID:varint> <FRAME-ID:varint>
Then comes the frame payload. Depending on the frame type, the payload can be
of three types: a simple key/value list, a list of messages or a list of
actions.
FRAME-PAYLOAD : <LIST-OF-MESSAGES> | <LIST-OF-ACTIONS> | <KV-LIST>
LIST-OF-MESSAGES : [ <MESSAGE-NAME> <NB-ARGS:1 byte> <KV-LIST> ... ]
MESSAGE-NAME : <STRING>
LIST-OF-ACTIONS : [ <ACTION-TYPE:1 byte> <NB-ARGS:1 byte> <ACTION-ARGS> ... ]
ACTION-ARGS : [ <TYPED-DATA>... ]
KV-LIST : [ <KV-NAME> <KV-VALUE> ... ]
KV-NAME : <STRING>
KV-VALUE : <TYPED-DATA>

it in one frame. But when supported by the peer, it will be possible to
fragment huge payload on many frames. This ability is announced during the
HELLO handshake and it can be asynmetric (supported by agents but not by
HAProxy or the opposite). The following rules apply to fragmentation:
* An unfragemnted payload consists of a single frame with the FIN bit set.
* A fragemented payload consists of several frames with the FIN bit clear and
terminated by a single frame with the FIN bit set. All these frames must

share the same STREAM-ID and FRAME-ID. The first frame must set the right
FRAME-TYPE (e.g, NOTIFY). The following frames must have an unset type (0).

In the long term, its aim is to allow any kind of offloading on the streams. This first version, besides being experimental, won't do lot of things. The most important today is to validate the protocol design and lay the foundations of what will, one day, be a full offload engine for the stream processing. So, for now, the SPOE can offload the stream processing before "tcp-request content", "tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And it only supports variables creation/suppression. But, in spite of these limited features, we can easily imagine to implement a SSO solution, an ip reputation service or an ip geolocation service. Internally, the SPOE is implemented as a filter. So, to use it, you must use following line in a proxy proxy section: frontend my-front ... filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file> ... It uses its own configuration file to keep the HAProxy configuration clean. It is also a easy way to disable it by commenting out the filter line.

3.2.1. Frame capabilities
--------------------------
Here are the list of official capabilities that HAProxy and agents can support:
MAJOR: spoe: Add support of pipelined and asynchronous exchanges with agents Now, HAProxy and agents can announce the support for "pipelining" and/or "async" capabilities during the HELLO handshake. For now, HAProxy always announces the support of both. In addition, in its HELLO frames. HAproxy adds the "engine-id" key. It is a uniq string that identify a SPOE engine. The "pipelining" capability is the ability for a peer to decouple NOTIFY and ACK frames. This is a symmectical capability. To be used, it must be supported by HAproxy and agents. Unlike HTTP pipelining, the ACK frames can be send in any order, but always on the same TCP connection used for the corresponding NOTIFY frame. The "async" capability is similar to the pipelining, but here any TCP connection established between HAProxy and the agent can be used to send ACK frames. if an agent accepts connections from multiple HAProxy, it can use the "engine-id" value to group TCP connections.
2016-12-21 07:58:06 +00:00
* fragmentation: This is the ability for a peer to support fragmented
payload in received frames. This is an asymmectical
capability, it only concerns the peer that announces
it. This is the responsibility to the other peer to use it
or not.
* pipelining: This is the ability for a peer to decouple NOTIFY and ACK
frames. This is a symmectical capability. To be used, it must
be supported by HAproxy and agents. Unlike HTTP pipelining, the
ACK frames can be send in any order, but always on the same TCP
connection used for the corresponding NOTIFY frame.
* async: This ability is similar to the pipelining, but here any TCP
connection established between HAProxy and the agent can be used to
send ACK frames. if an agent accepts connections from multiple
HAProxy, it can use the "engine-id" value to group TCP
connections. See details about HAPROXY-HELLO frame.

3.2.4. Frame: HAPROXY-HELLO
----------------------------
This frame is the first one exchanged between HAProxy and an agent, when the
connection is established. The payload of this frame is a KV-LIST. It cannot be
fragmented. STREAM-ID and FRAME-ID are must be set 0.
Following items are mandatory in the KV-LIST:
* "supported-versions" <STRING>
Last SPOP major versions supported by HAProxy. It is a comma-separated list
of versions, following the format "Major.Minor". Spaces must be ignored, if
any. When a major version is announced by HAProxy, it means it also support
all previous minor versions.
Example: "2.0, 1.5" means HAProxy supports SPOP 2.0 and 1.0 to 1.5
* "max-frame-size" <UINT32>
This is the maximum size allowed for a frame. The HAPROXY-HELLO frame must
be lower or equal to this value.
* "capabilities" <STRING>
This a comma-separated list of capabilities supported by HAProxy. Spaces
must be ignored, if any.

Following optional items can be added in the KV-LIST:
* "healthcheck" <BOOLEAN>
If this item is set to TRUE, then the HAPROXY-HELLO frame is sent during a
SPOE health check. When set to FALSE, this item can be ignored.
MAJOR: spoe: Add support of pipelined and asynchronous exchanges with agents Now, HAProxy and agents can announce the support for "pipelining" and/or "async" capabilities during the HELLO handshake.

2016-10-27 20:29:49 +00:00
To finish the HELLO handshake, the agent must return an AGENT-HELLO frame with
its supported SPOP version, the lower value between its maximum size allowed
for a frame and the HAProxy one and capabilities it supports. If an error
occurs or if an incompatibility is detected with the agent configuration, an
AGENT-DISCONNECT frame must be returned.
3.2.5. Frame: AGENT-HELLO
--------------------------
This frame is sent in reply to a HAPROXY-HELLO frame to finish a HELLO
handshake. As for HAPROXY-HELLO frame, STREAM-ID and FRAME-ID are also set
0. The payload of this frame is a KV-LIST and it cannot be fragmented.
Following items are mandatory in the KV-LIST:
* "version" <STRING>
This is the SPOP version the agent supports. It must follow the format
"Major.Minor" and it must be lower or equal than one of major versions
announced by HAProxy.
* "max-frame-size" <UINT32>
This is the maximum size allowed for a frame. It must be lower or equal to
the value in the HAPROXY-HELLO frame. This value will be used for all
subsequent frames.
* "capabilities" <STRING>
This a comma-separated list of capabilities supported by agent. Spaces must
be ignored, if any.
At this time, if everything is ok for HAProxy (supported version and valid
max-frame-size value), the HELLO handshake is successfully completed. Else,
HAProxy sends a HAPROXY-DISCONNECT frame with the corresponding error.
MINOR: spoe/checks: Add support for SPOP health checks A new "option spop-check" statement has been added to enable server health checks based on SPOP HELLO handshake. SPOP is the protocol used by SPOE filters to talk to servers.

If "healthcheck" item was set to TRUE in the HAPROXY-HELLO frame, the agent can
safely close the connection without DISCONNECT frame. In all cases, HAProxy
will close the connexion at the end of the health check.

3.2.6. Frame: NOTIFY
---------------------
Information are sent to the agents inside NOTIFY frames. These frames are
attached to a stream, so STREAM-ID and FRAME-ID must be set. The payload of
NOTIFY frames is a LIST-OF-MESSAGES and, if supported by agents, it can be
fragmented.
NOTIFY frames must be acknowledge by agents sending an ACK frame, repeating
right STREAM-ID and FRAME-ID.
3.2.7. Frame: ACK
------------------
ACK frames must be sent by agents to reply to NOTIFY frames. STREAM-ID and
FRAME-ID found in a NOTIFY frame must be reuse in the corresponding ACK
frame. The payload of ACK frames is a LIST-OF-ACTIONS and, if supported by
HAProxy, it can be fragmented.
3.2.8. Frame: HAPROXY-DISCONNECT
---------------------------------
If an error occurs, at anytime, from the HAProxy side, a HAPROXY-DISCONNECT
frame is sent with information describing the error. HAProxy will wait an
AGENT-DISCONNECT frame in reply. All other frames will be ignored. The agent
must then close the socket.
The payload of this frame is a KV-LIST. It cannot be fragmented. STREAM-ID and
FRAME-ID are must be set 0.
Following items are mandatory in the KV-LIST:
* "status-code" <UINT32>
This is the code corresponding to the error.
* "message" <STRING>
This is a textual message describing the error.
For more information about known errors, see section "Errors & timeouts"
3.2.9. Frame: AGENT-DISCONNECT
-------------------------------
If an error occurs, at anytime, from the agent size, a AGENT-DISCONNECT frame
is sent, with information desribing the error. such frame is also sent in reply
to a HAPROXY-DISCONNECT. The agent must close the socket just after sending
this frame.
The payload of this frame is a KV-LIST. It cannot be fragmented. STREAM-ID and
FRAME-ID are must be set 0.
Following items are mandatory in the KV-LIST:
* "status-code" <UINT32>
This is the code corresponding to the error.
* "message" <STRING>
This is a textual message describing the error.
For more information about known errors, see section "Errors & timeouts"
3.3. Events & Messages
-----------------------
Information about streams are sent in NOTIFY frames. You can specify which kind
of information to send by defining "spoe-message" sections in your SPOE
configuration file. for each "spoe-message" there will be a message in a NOTIFY
frame when the right event is triggered.
A NOTIFY frame is sent for an specific event when there is at least one
"spoe-message" attached to this event. All messages for an event will be added
in the same NOTIFY frame.
Here is the list of supported events:
* on-client-session is triggered when a new client session is created.
This event is only available for SPOE filters
declared in a frontend or a listen section.
* on-frontend-tcp-request is triggered just before the evaluation of
"tcp-request content" rules on the frontend side.
This event is only available for SPOE filters
declared in a frontend or a listen section.
* on-backend-tcp-request is triggered just before the evaluation of
"tcp-request content" rules on the backend side.
This event is skipped for SPOE filters declared
in a listen section.
* on-frontend-http-request is triggered just before the evaluation of
"http-request" rules on the frontend side. This
event is only available for SPOE filters declared
in a frontend or a listen section.
* on-backend-http-request is triggered just before the evaluation of
"http-request" rules on the backend side. This
event is skipped for SPOE filters declared in a
listen section.
* on-server-session is triggered when the session with the server is
established.
* on-tcp-response is triggered just before the evaluation of
"tcp-response content" rules.
* on-http-response is triggered just before the evaluation of
"http-response" rules.
The stream processing will loop on these events, when triggered, waiting the
agent reply.
3.4. Actions
-------------
An agent must acknowledge each NOTIFY frame by sending the corresponding ACK
frame. Actions can be added in these frames to dynamically take action on the
processing of a stream.
Here is the list of supported actions:
* set-var set the value for an existing variable. 3 arguments must be
attached to this action: the variable scope (proc, sess, txn,
req or req), the variable name (a string) and its value.
ACTION-SET-VAR : <SET-VAR:1 byte><NB-ARGS:1 byte><VAR-SCOPE:1 byte><VAR-NAME><VAR-VALUE>
SET-VAR : <1>
NB-ARGS : <3>
VAR-SCOPE : <PROCESS> | <SESSION> | <TRANSACTION> | <REQUEST> | <RESPONSE>
VAR-NAME : <STRING>
VAR-VALUE : <TYPED-DATA>
PROCESS : <0>
SESSION : <1>
TRANSACTION : <2>
REQUEST : <3>
MAJOR: spoe: Add support of pipelined and asynchronous exchanges with agents Now, HAProxy and agents can announce the support for "pipelining" and/or "async" capabilities during the HELLO handshake. For now, HAProxy always announces the support of both. In addition, in its HELLO frames. HAproxy adds the "engine-id" key. It is a uniq string that identify a SPOE engine. The "pipelining" capability is the ability for a peer to decouple NOTIFY and ACK frames. This is a symmectical capability. To be used, it must be supported by HAproxy and agents. Unlike HTTP pipelining, the ACK frames can be send in any order, but always on the same TCP connection used for the corresponding NOTIFY frame. The "async" capability is similar to the pipelining, but here any TCP connection established between HAProxy and the agent can be used to send ACK frames. if an agent accepts connections from multiple HAProxy, it can use the "engine-id" value to group TCP connections.

MAJOR: spoe: Add an experimental Stream Processing Offload Engine SPOE makes possible the communication with external components to retrieve some info using an in-house binary protocol, the Stream Processing Offload Protocol (SPOP). In the long term, its aim is to allow any kind of offloading on the streams. This first version, besides being experimental, won't do lot of things. The most important today is to validate the protocol design and lay the foundations of what will, one day, be a full offload engine for the stream processing. So, for now, the SPOE can offload the stream processing before "tcp-request content", "tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And it only supports variables creation/suppression. But, in spite of these limited features, we can easily imagine to implement a SSO solution, an ip reputation service or an ip geolocation service. Internally, the SPOE is implemented as a filter. So, to use it, you must use following line in a proxy proxy section: frontend my-front ... filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file> ... It uses its own configuration file to keep the HAProxy configuration clean. It is also a easy way to disable it by commenting out the filter line. See "doc/SPOE.txt" for all details about the SPOE configuration.

MAJOR: spoe: Add support of pipelined and asynchronous exchanges with agents Now, HAProxy and agents can announce the support for "pipelining" and/or "async" capabilities during the HELLO handshake. For now, HAProxy always announces the support of both. In addition, in its HELLO frames. HAproxy adds the "engine-id" key. It is a uniq string that identify a SPOE engine. The "pipelining" capability is the ability for a peer to decouple NOTIFY and ACK frames. This is a symmectical capability. To be used, it must be supported by HAproxy and agents. Unlike HTTP pipelining, the ACK frames can be send in any order, but always on the same TCP connection used for the corresponding NOTIFY frame. The "async" capability is similar to the pipelining, but here any TCP connection established between HAProxy and the agent can be used to send ACK frames. if an agent accepts connections from multiple HAProxy, it can use the "engine-id" value to group TCP connections.

----------------+--------------------------------------------------------
An agent can define its own errors using a not yet assigned status code.
MINOR: spoe: Add 'option continue-on-error' statement in spoe-agent section By default, for a specific stream, when an abnormal/unexpected error occurs, the SPOE is disabled for all the transaction. So if you have several events configured, such error on an event will disabled all followings. For TCP streams, this will disable the SPOE for the whole session. For HTTP streams, this will disable it for the transaction (request and response). To bypass this behaviour, you can set 'continue-on-error' option in 'spoe-agent' section. With this option, only the current event will be ignored.

To avoid a stream to wait infinitly, you must carefully choose the
acknowledgement timeout. In most of cases, it will be quiet low. But it depends
on the responsivness of your service.
You must also choose idle timeout carefully. Because connection with your
service depends on the backend configuration used by the SPOA, it is important
to use a lower value for idle timeout than the server timeout. Else the
connection will be closed by HAProxy. The same is true for hello timeout. You
should choose a lower value than the connect timeout.
MINOR: spoe: Add metrics in to know time spent in the SPOE Following metrics are added for each event or group of messages processed in the SPOE: * processing time: the delay to process the event or the group. From the stream point of view, it is the latency added by the SPOE processing. * request time : It is the encoding time. It includes ACLs processing, if any. For fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments. * queue time : the delay before the request gets out the sending queue. For fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments. * waiting time: the delay before the reponse is received. No fragmentation supported here. * response time: the delay to process the response. No fragmentation supported here. * total time: (unused for now). It is the sum of all events or groups processed by the SPOE for a specific threads. Log messages has been updated. Before, only errors was logged (status_code != 0). Now every processing is logged, following this format: SPOE: [AGENT] <TYPE:NAME> sid=STREAM-ID st=STATUC-CODE reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT where: AGENT is the agent name TYPE is EVENT of GROUP NAME is the event or the group name STREAM-ID is an integer, the unique id of the stream STATUS_CODE is the processing's status code reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT are delays descrive above For all these delays, -1 means the processing was interrupted before the end. So -1 for the queue time means the request was never dequeued. For fragmented frames it is harder to know when the interruption happened. For now, messages are logged using the same logger than the backend of the stream which initiated the request.

4. Logging
-----------
Activity of an SPOE is logged using HAProxy's logger. The messages are logged
in the context of the streams that handle the client and the server
connections. A message is emitted for each event or group handled by an
SPOE. Depending on the status code, the log level will be different. In the
normal case, when no error occurred, the message is logged with the level
LOG_NOTICE. Otherwise, the message is logged with the level LOG_WARNING.
The messages are logged using the stream's logger and use the following format:
SPOE: [AGENT] <TYPE:NAME> sid=STREAM-ID st=STATUC-CODE reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT
AGENT is the agent name
TYPE is EVENT of GROUP
NAME is the event or the group name
STREAM-ID is an integer, the unique id of the stream
STATUS_CODE is the processing's status code
reqT/qT/wT/resT/pT are the following time events:
* reqT : the encoding time. It includes ACLs processing, if any. For
fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments.
* qT : the delay before the request gets out the sending queue. For
fragmented frames, it is the sum of all fragments.
* wT : the delay before the reponse is received. No fragmentation
supported here.
* resT : the delay to process the response. No fragmentation supported
MINOR: spoe: Add options to store processing times in variables "set-process-time" and "set-total-time" options have been added to store processing times in the transaction scope, at each event and group processing, the current one and the total one. So it is possible to get them. TODO: documentation
