The Unique ID, is an ID generated with several informations. You can use
a log-format string to customize it, with the "unique-id-format" keyword,
and insert it in the request header, with the "unique-id-header" keyword.
%Fi: Frontend IP
%Fp: Frontend Port
%Si: Server IP
%Sp: Server Port
%Ts: Timestamp
%rt: HTTP request counter
%H: hostname
%pid: PID
+X: Hexadecimal represenation
The +X mode in logformat displays hexadecimal for the following flags
%Ci %Cp %Fi %Fp %Bi %Bp %Si %Sp %Ts %ct %pid
rename logformat_write_string() to lf_text()
Optimize size computation
* logformat functions now take a format linked list as argument
* build_logline() build a logline using a format linked list
* rename LOG_* by LOG_FMT_* in enum
* improve error management in build_logline()
Commit a1cc38 introduced a regression which was easy to trigger till ad4cd58
(snapshots 20120222 to 20120311 included). The bug was still present after
that but harder to trigger.
The bug is caused by the use of two distinct log buffers due to intermediary
changes. The issue happens when an HTTP request is logged just after a TCP
request during the same second and the HTTP request is too large for the buffer.
In this case, it happens that the HTTP request is logged into the TCP buffer
instead and that length controls can't detect anything.
Starting with bddd4f, the issue is still possible when logging too large an
HTTP request just after a send_log() call (typically a server status change).
We owe a big thanks to Sander Klein for testing several snapshots and more
specifically for taking significant risks in production by letting the buggy
version crash several times in order to provide an exploitable core ! The bug
could not have been found without this precious help. Thank you Sander !
This fix does not need to be backported, it did not affect any released version.
Merge http_sess_log() and tcp_sess_log() to sess_log() and move it to
log.c
A new field in logformat_type define if you can use a logformat
variable in TCP or HTTP mode.
doc: log-format in tcp mode
Note that due to the way log buffer allocation currently works, trying to
log an HTTP request without "option httplog" is still not possible. This
will change in the near future.
http_sess_log now use the logformat linked list to make the log
string, snprintf is not used for speed issue.
CLF mode also uses logformat.
NOTE: as of now, empty fields in CLF now are "" not "-" anymore.
parse_logformat_string: parse the string, detect the type: text,
separator or variable
parse_logformat_var: dectect variable name
parse_logformat_var_args: parse arguments and flags
add_to_logformat_list: add to the logformat linked list
send_log function is now splited in 3 functions
* hdr_log: generate the syslog header
* send_log: send a syslog message with a printf format string
* __send_log: send a syslog message
It should be stated as a rule that a C file should never
include types/xxx.h when proto/xxx.h exists, as it gives
less exposure to declaration conflicts (one of which was
caught and fixed here) and it complicates the file headers
for nothing.
Only types/global.h, types/capture.h and types/polling.h
have been found to be valid includes from C files.
logs are handled better with dedicated functions. The HTTP implementation
moved to proto_http.c. It has been cleaned up a bit. Now a frontend with
option httplog and no log will not call the function anymore.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
