Quite a lot of people have been complaining about option contstats not
working correctly anymore since about 1.4. The reason was that one reason
for the significant performance boost between 1.3 and 1.4 was the ability
to forward data between a server and a client without waking up the stream
manager. And we couldn't afford to force sessions to constantly wake it
up given that most of the people interested in contstats are also those
interested in high performance transmission.
An idea was experimented with in the past, consisting in limiting the
amount of transmissible data before waking it up, but it was not usable
on slow connections (eg: FTP over modem lines, RDP, SSH) as stats would
be updated too rarely if at all, so that idea was dropped.
During a discussion today another idea came up : ensure that stats are
updated once in a while, since it's the only thing that matters. It
happens that we have the request channel's analyse_exp timeout that is
used to wake the stream up after a configured delay, and that by
definition this timeout is not used when there's no more analyser
(otherwise the stream would wake up and the stats would be updated).
Thus here the idea is to reuse this timeout when there's no analyser
and set it to now+5 seconds so that a stream wakes up at least once
every 5 seconds to update its stats. It should be short enough to
provide smooth traffic graphs and to allow to debug outputs of "show
sess" more easily without inflicting too much load even for very large
number of concurrent connections.
This patch is simple enough and safe enough to be backportable to 1.6
if there is some demand.
Both DeviceAtlas and 51Degrees used to put their building instructions
in the README, representing more than 1/3 of it. It's better to let the
README focus on generic stuff and building procedure and move the DD
docs to their own files.

These are denied conns. Strangely this wasn't emitted while it used to be
available for a while. It corresponds to the number of connections blocked
by "tcp-request connection reject".
When the tcp/http actions above were introduced in 1.7-dev4, we used to
proceed like this :
- set-src/set-dst would force the port to zero
- set-src-port/set-dst-port would not do anything if the address family is
neither AF_INET nor AF_INET6.
It was a stupid idea of mine to request this behaviour because it ensures
that these functions cannot be used in a wide number of situations. Because
of the first rule, it is necessary to save the source port one way or
another if only the address has to be changed (so you have to use an
variable). Due to the second rule, there's no way to set the source port
on a unix socket without first overwriting the address. And sometimes it's
really not convenient, especially when there's no way to guarantee that all
fields will properly be set.
In order to fix all this, this small change does the following :
- set-src/set-dst always preserve the original port even if the address
family changes. If the previous address family didn't have a port (eg:
AF_UNIX), then the port is set to zero ;
- set-src-port/set-dst-port always preserve the original address. If the
address doesn't have a port, then the family is forced to IPv4 and the
address to "0.0.0.0".
Thanks to this it now becomes possible to perform one action, the other or
both in any order.
The fe_req_rate is similar to fe_sess_rate, but fetches the number
of HTTP requests per second instead of connections/sessions per second.

Enable IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT on backend connections when the source
address is specified without port or port ranges. This is supported
since Linux 4.2/libc 2.23.
If the kernel supports it but the libc doesn't, we can define it at
build time:
make [...] DEFINE=-DIP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT=24
For more informations about this feature, see Linux commit 90c337da
With Linux officially introducing SO_REUSEPORT support in 3.9 and
its mainstream adoption we have seen more people running into strange
SO_REUSEPORT related issues (a process management issue turning into
hard to diagnose problems because the kernel load-balances between the
new and an obsolete haproxy instance).
Also some people simply want the guarantee that the bind fails when
the old process is still bound.
This change makes SO_REUSEPORT configurable, introducing the command
line argument "-dR" and the noreuseport configuration directive.
A backport to 1.6 should be considered.
Enrichment of the 'set server <b>/<s> addr' cli directive to allow changing
now a server's port.
The new syntax looks like:
set server <b>/<s> addr [port <port>]
Introduction of a new CLI command "set server <srv> check-port <port>' to
allow admins to change a server's health check port at run time.
This changes the equivalent of the configuration server parameter
called 'port'.
Today I was working on an auto-update script for some ACLs, and found
that I couldn't load ACL entries with a semi-colon in them no matter
how I tried to escape it.
As such, I wrote this patch (this one is for 1.7dev, but it applies to
1.5 the same with just line numbers changed), which seems to allow me
to execute a command such as "add acl /etc/foo.lst foo\;bar" over the
socket. It's worth noting that stats_sock_parse_request() already uses
the backslash to escape spaces in words so it makes sense to use it as
well to escape the semi-colon.
Tq is the time between the instant the connection is accepted and a
complete valid request is received. This time includes the handshake
(SSL / Proxy-Protocol), the idle when the browser does preconnect and
the request reception.
This patch decomposes %Tq in 3 measurements names %Th, %Ti, and %TR
which returns respectively the handshake time, the idle time and the
duration of valid request reception. It also adds %Ta which reports
the request's active time, which is the total time without %Th nor %Ti.
It replaces %Tt as the total time, reporting accurate measurements for
HTTP persistent connections.
%Th is avalaible for TCP and HTTP sessions, %Ti, %TR and %Ta are only
avalaible for HTTP connections.
In addition to this, we have new timestamps %tr, %trg and %trl, which
log the date of start of receipt of the request, respectively in the
default format, in GMT time and in local time (by analogy with %t, %T
and %Tl). All of them are obviously only available for HTTP. These values
are more relevant as they more accurately represent the request date
without being skewed by a browser's preconnect nor a keep-alive idle
time.
The HTTP log format and the CLF log format have been modified to
use %tr, %TR, and %Ta respectively instead of %t, %Tq and %Tt. This
way the default log formats now produce the expected output for users
who don't want to manually fiddle with the log-format directive.
Example with the following log-format :
log-format "%ci:%cp [%tr] %ft %b/%s h=%Th/i=%Ti/R=%TR/w=%Tw/c=%Tc/r=%Tr/a=%Ta/t=%Tt %ST %B %CC %CS %tsc %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc %sq/%bq %hr %hs %{+Q}r"
The request was sent by hand using "openssl s_client -connect" :
Aug 23 14:43:20 haproxy[25446]: 127.0.0.1:45636 [23/Aug/2016:14:43:20.221] test~ test/test h=6/i=2375/R=261/w=0/c=1/r=0/a=262/t=2643 200 145 - - ---- 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
=> 6 ms of SSL handshake, 2375 waiting before sending the first char (in
fact the time to type the first line), 261 ms before the end of the request,
no time spent in queue, 1 ms spend connecting to the server, immediate
response, total active time for this request = 262ms. Total time from accept
to close : 2643 ms.
The timing now decomposes like this :

Adding on to Thierry's work (http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy.git;h=6310bef5)
I have added a few more fetchers for counters based on the tcp_info struct
maintained by the kernel :
fc_unacked, fc_sacked, fc_retrans, fc_fackets, fc_lost,
fc_reordering
Two fields were not added because they're version-dependant :
fc_rcv_rtt, fc_total_retrans
The fields name depend on the operating system. FreeBSD and NetBSD prefix
all the field names with "__" so we have to rely on a few #ifdef for
portability.
It is sometimes needed in application server environments to easily tell
if a source is local to the machine or a remote one, without necessarily
knowing all the local addresses (dhcp, vrrp, etc). Similarly in transparent
proxy configurations it is sometimes desired to tell the difference between
local and remote destination addresses.
This patch adds two new sample fetch functions for this :
dst_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the destination address of the incoming connection is local
to the system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning
that it was intercepted in transparent mode. It can be useful to apply
certain rules by default to forwarded traffic and other rules to the traffic
targetting the real address of the machine. For example the stats page could
be delivered only on this address, or SSH access could be locally redirected.
Please note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do
it only once per connection.
src_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the source address of the incoming connection is local to the
system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning that it
comes from a remote machine. Note that UNIX addresses are considered local.
It can be useful to apply certain access restrictions based on where the
client comes from (eg: require auth or https for remote machines). Please
note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do it only
once per connection.
The functions "req_replace_value()" and "res_replace_value()"
doesn't exists in the 1.6 version. There inherited from the 1.6dev.
This patch must be backported in 1.6 version
This patch adds 4 new sample fetches which returns the RTT of the
established connexion and the RTT variance. The established connection
can be between the client and HAProxy, and between HAProxy and the
server. This is very useful for statistics. A great use case is the
estimation of the TCP connection time of the client. Note that the
RTT of the server side is not so interesting because we already have
the connect() time.
This enables tracking of sticky counters from current response. The only
difference from "http-request track-sc" is the <key> sample expression
can only make use of samples in response (eg. res.*, status etc.) and
samples below Layer 6.
The function txn_done() ends a transaction. It does not make
sense to call this function from a lua sample-fetch wrapper,
because the role of a sample-fetch is not to terminate a
transaction.
This patch modify the role of the fucntion txn_done() if it
is called from a sample-fetch wrapper, now it just ends the
execution of the Lua code like the done() function.
Must be backported in 1.6
The feature was introduced in 1.6-dev2 by commit 108b1dd ("MEDIUM:
http: configurable http result codes for http-request deny") but the
doc was missing. Thanks to Cyril for noticing.
This must be backported into 1.6.
This configures the client-facing connection to receive a NetScaler
Client IP insertion protocol header before any byte is read from the
socket. This is equivalent to having the "accept-netscaler-cip" keyword
on the "bind" line, except that using the TCP rule allows the PROXY
protocol to be accepted only for certain IP address ranges using an ACL.
This is convenient when multiple layers of load balancers are passed
through by traffic coming from public hosts.
When NetScaler application switch is used as L3+ switch, informations
regarding the original IP and TCP headers are lost as a new TCP
connection is created between the NetScaler and the backend server.
NetScaler provides a feature to insert in the TCP data the original data
that can then be consumed by the backend server.
Specifications and documentations from NetScaler:
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX205670https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/04/25/how-to-enable-client-ip-in-tcpip-option-of-netscaler/
When CIP is enabled on the NetScaler, then a TCP packet is inserted just after
the TCP handshake. This is composed as:
- CIP magic number : 4 bytes
Both sender and receiver have to agree on a magic number so that
they both handle the incoming data as a NetScaler Client IP insertion
packet.
- Header length : 4 bytes
Defines the length on the remaining data.
- IP header : >= 20 bytes if IPv4, 40 bytes if IPv6
Contains the header of the last IP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
- TCP header : >= 20 bytes
Contains the header of the last TCP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
SNI filters used to be ignored with multicerts (eg: those providing
ECDSA and RSA at the same time). This patch makes them work like
other certs.
Note: most of the changes in this patch are due to an extra level of
indent, read it with "git show -b".
The 'set-src' action was not available for tcp actions The action code
has been converted into a function in proto_tcp.c to be used for both
'http-request' and 'tcp-request connection' actions.
Both http and tcp keywords are registered in proto_tcp.c
This patch removes setlocale from the main function. It was introduced
by commit 379d9c7 ("MEDIUM: init: allow directory as argument of -f")
in 1.7-dev a few commits ago after a discussion on the mailing list.
Some regex may have different behaviours depending on the
locale. Some LUA scripts may change their behaviour too
(http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaLocales).
Without this patch (haproxy is using setlocale) :
$ cat locale.cfg
defaults
mode http
frontend test
bind :9000
mode http
use_backend testbk if { hdr_reg(X-Test) ^\w+$ }
backend testbk
mode http
server s 127.0.0.1:80
$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./haproxy -f locale.cfg
$ curl -i -H "X-Test: échec" localhost:9000
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
$ LANG=C ./haproxy -f locale.cfg
$ curl -i -H "X-Test: échec" localhost:9000
HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
...
As suggested by Pavlos, it's too bad that we didn't have a %Td log
format tag given that there are a few mentions of Td corresponding
to the data transmission time already in the doc, so this is now done.
Just like the other specifiers, we report -1 if the connection failed
before reaching the data transmission state.
If -f argument is a directory add all the files (and only files) it
containes to the config files list.
These files are added in lexical order (respecting LC_COLLATE).
Only files with ".cfg" extension are added.
Only non hidden files (not prefixed with ".") are added.
Symlink are followed.
The -f order is still respected:
$ tree -a rootdir
rootdir
|-- dir1
| |-- .6.cfg
| |-- 1.cfg
| |-- 2
| |-- 3.cfg
| |-- 4.cfg -> 1.cfg
| |-- 5 -> 1.cfg
| |-- 7.cfg -> .
| `-- dir4
| `-- 8.cfg
|-- dir2
| |-- 10.cfg
| `-- 9.cfg
|-- dir3
| `-- 11.cfg
|-- link -> dir3/
|-- root1
|-- root2
`-- root3
$ ./haproxy -C rootdir -f root2 -f dir2 -f root3 -f dir1 \
-f link -f root1
root2
dir2/10.cfg
dir2/9.cfg
root3
dir1/1.cfg
dir1/3.cfg
dir1/4.cfg
link/11.cfg
root1
This can be useful on systemd where you can't change the haproxy
commande line options on service reload.

This is very useful in complex architecture systems where HAproxy
is balancing DB connections for example. We want to keep the maxconn
high in order to avoid issues with queueing on the LB level when
there is slowness on another part of the system. Example is a case of
an architecture where each thread opens multiple DB connections, which
if get stuck in queue cause a snowball effect (old connections aren't
closed, new ones cannot be established). These connections are mostly
idle and the DB server has no problem handling thousands of them.
Allowing us to dynamically set maxconn depending on the backend usage
(LA, CPU, memory, etc.) enables us to have high maxconn for situations
like above, but lowering it in case there are real issues where the
backend servers become overloaded (cache issues, DB gets hit hard).
The configuration documention has been updated. Doc about the filter line has
been added and a new chapter (§. 9) has been created to list and document
supported filters (for now, flt_trace and flt_http_comp).
The developer documentation about filters has also been added. The is a "pre"
version. Incoming changes in the filter API will require an update.
This documentation requires a deeper review and some TODO need to be complete.
Adds some examples regarding shorthand IPv4 address notation which might
be confused with RFC 4632 CIDR notation, leading to different than
expected results.
Commit c8f0e78 ("DOC: typo: req.uri is now replaced by capture.req.uri")
fixed a discrepancy in the doc but the scheme is still missing, resulting
in a redirect loop. Let's fix this as well. This should be backported to
1.5.
It worth mentionning "timeout http-request" in the "timeout client"
documentation paragraph, to ensure nobody misses this important setting.
backport: 1.5 and above
Adds a little more clarity to the description of the maximum sizes of
the different variable scopes and adds a note about what happens when
the space allocated for variables is too small.
Also fixes some typos and grammar/spelling issues re/ variables and
their naming conventions, copied throughout the document.
Regarding the minor update introduced in the
cd6c3c7cb4 commit, the DeviceAtlas
module is now able to use up to 12 device properties via the
new ARG12 macro.

This was reported in HTML dumps already but not CSV. It reports the
number of monitor and stats requests. Ideally use-service and redirs
should be accounted for as well.
Frontends have extra information compared to other entities, they can
report some statistics at the connection level while the other ones
are limited to the session level. This patch adds 3 more fields for
this :
- conn_rate
- conn_rate_max
- conn_tot
It's worth noting that listeners theorically have such statistics, except
that the distinction between connections and sessions is not clearly made
in the code, so that will have to be improved later.
The server's cookie value is now reported in the "cookie" column and
used as-is from the HTML dump. It was the last reference to the sv
pointer from this place.
The same was done for the backend's dump.
This new field "addr" presents the server's address:port if the client
is either enabled via "stats show legends" in case of HTTP dumps, or
has at least level operator on the CLI. The address formats might be :
- ipv4:port
- [ipv6]:port
- unix
- (error message)
This adds the following fields :
- check_rise [...S]: server's "rise" parameter used by checks
- check_fall [...S]: server's "fall" parameter used by checks
- check_health [...S]: server's health check value between 0 and rise+fall-1
- agent_rise [...S]: agent's "rise" parameter, normally 1
- agent_fall [...S]: agent's "fall" parameter, normally 1
- agent_health [...S]: agent's health parameter, between 0 and rise+fall-1
Added these two new fields to the CSV output :
- check_desc : short human-readable description of check_status
- agent_desc : short human-readable description of agent_status
Also factor two tests for enabled checks.
The agent check status is now reported :
- agent_status : status of last agent check
- agent_code : numeric code reported by agent if any (unused for now)
- agent_duration : time in ms taken to finish last check
This patch introduces a configurable connection timeout for mailers
with a new "timeout mail <time>" directive.
Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
This options prioritize th choice of an ip address matching a network. This is
useful with clouds to prefer a local ip. In some cases, a cloud high
avalailibility service can be announced with many ip addresses on many
differents datacenters. The latency between datacenter is not negligible, so
this patch permitsto prefers a local datacenter. If none address matchs the
configured network, another address is selected.
With new init systems such as systemd, environment variables became a
real mess because they're only considered on startup but not on reload
since the init script's variables cannot be passed to the process that
is signaled to reload.
This commit introduces an alternative method consisting in making it
possible to modify the environment from the global section with directives
like "setenv", "unsetenv", "presetenv" and "resetenv".
Since haproxy supports loading multiple config files, it now becomes
possible to put the host-dependant variables in one file and to
distribute the rest of the configuration to all nodes, without having
to deal with the init system's deficiencies.
Environment changes take effect immediately when the directives are
processed, so it's possible to do perform the same operations as are
usually performed in regular service config files.
Using environment variables in configuration files can make troubleshooting
complicated because there's no easy way to verify that the variables are
correct. This patch introduces a new "show env" command which displays the
whole environment on the CLI, one variable per line.
The socket must at least have level operator to display the environment.
The +E mode escapes characters '"', '\' and ']' with '\' as prefix. It
mostly makes sense to use it in the RFC5424 structured-data log formats.
Example:
log-format-sd %{+Q,+E}o\ [exampleSDID@1234\ header=%[capture.req.hdr(0)]]
Now, http_parse_chunk_size and http_skip_chunk_crlf return the number of bytes
parsed on success. http_skip_chunk_crlf does not use msg->sol anymore.
On the other hand, http_forward_trailers is unchanged. It returns >0 if the end
of trailers is reached and 0 if not. In all cases (except if an error is
encountered), msg->sol contains the length of the last parsed part of the
trailer headers.
Internal doc and comments about msg->sol has been updated accordingly.
Michał Pasierb reported doc inconsistencies regarding the old default
HTTP tunnel mode.
This patch fixes a few of those inconsistencies and should be backported
to both 1.6 and 1.5.
The applet can't have access to the session private data. This patch
fix this problem. Now an applet can use private data stored by actions
and fecthes.
This patch fix the Lua API documentation, and adds some internal link
between values returned and associated class.
This patch can be backported in 1.6.
