Ability to change a server IP address during HAProxy run time.
For now this is provided via function update_server_addr() which
currently is not called.
A log is emitted on each change. For now we do it inconditionally,
but later we'll want to do it only on certain circumstances, which
explains why the logging block is enclosed in if(1).
If a source file includes proto/server.h twice or more, redefinition errors will
be triggered for such inline functions as server_throttle_rate(),
server_is_draining(), srv_adm_set_maint() and so on. Just move #endif directive
to the end of file to solve this issue.

This patch adds support for a new "drain" mode. So now we have 3 admin
modes for a server :
- READY
- DRAIN
- MAINT
The drain mode disables load balancing but leaves the server up. It can
coexist with maint, except that maint has precedence. It is also inherited
from tracked servers, so just like maint, it's represented with 2 bits.
New functions were designed to set/clear each flag and to propagate the
changes to tracking servers when relevant, and to log the changes. Existing
functions srv_set_adm_maint() and srv_set_adm_ready() were replaced to make
use of the new functions.
Currently the drain mode is not yet used, however the whole logic was tested
with all combinations of set/clear of both flags in various orders to catch
all corner cases.
This function was taken from check_set_server_drain(). It does not
consider health checks at all and only sets a server to stopping
provided it's not in maintenance and is not currently stopped. The
resulting state will be STOPPING. The state change is propagated
to tracked servers.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
This function was taken from check_set_server_up(). It does not consider
health checks at all and only sets a server up provided it's not in
maintenance. The resulting state may be either RUNNING or STARTING
depending on the presence of a slowstart or not. The state change is
propagated to tracked servers.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
This function was extracted from check_set_server_down(). In only
manipulates the server state and does not consider the health checks
at all, nor does it modify their status. It takes a reason message to
report in logs, however it passes NULL when recursing through the
trackers chain.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
srv_adm_append_status() was renamed srv_append_status() since it's no
more dedicated to maintenance mode. It now supports a reason which if
not null is appended to the output string.
This change now involves a new flag SRV_ADMF_IMAINT to note that the
maintenance status of a server is inherited from another server. Thus,
we know at each server level in the chain if it's running, in forced
maintenance or in a maintenance status because it tracks another server,
or even in both states.
Disabling a server propagates this flag down to other servers. Enabling
a server flushes the flag down. A server becomes up again once both of
its flags are cleared.
Two new functions "srv_adm_set_maint()" and "srv_adm_set_ready()" are used to
manipulate this maintenance status. They're used by the CLI and the stats
page.
Now the stats page always says "MAINT" instead of "MAINT(via)" and it's
only the chk/down field which reports "via x/y" when the status is
inherited from another server, but it doesn't say it when a server was
forced into maintenance. The CSV output indicates "MAINT (via x/y)"
instead of only "MAINT(via)". This is the most accurate representation.
One important thing is that now entering/leaving maintenance for a
tracking server correctly follows the state of the tracked server.
Checks.c has become a total mess. A number of proxy or server maintenance
and queue management functions were put there probably because they were
used there, but that makes the code untouchable. And that's without saying
that their names does not always relate to what they really do!
So let's do a first pass by moving these ones :
- set_backend_down() => backend.c
- redistribute_pending() => queue.c:pendconn_redistribute()
- check_for_pending() => queue.c:pendconn_grab_from_px()
- shutdown_sessions => server.c:srv_shutdown_sessions()
- shutdown_backup_sessions => server.c:srv_shutdown_backup_sessions()
All of them were moved at once.
This flag is only a copy of (srv->uweight == 0), so better get rid of
it to reduce some of the confusion that remains in the code, and use
a simple function to return this state based on this weight instead.
The cfgparse.c file becomes huge, and a large part of it comes from the
server keyword parser. Since the configuration is a bit more modular now,
move this parser to server.c.
This patch also moves the check of the "server" keyword earlier in the
supported keywords list, resulting in a slightly faster config parsing
for configs with large numbers of servers (about 10%).
No functional change was made, only the code was moved.
Summary:
Track and report last session time on the stats page for each server
in every backend, as well as the backend.
This attempts to address the requirement in the ROADMAP
- add a last activity date for each server (req/resp) that will be
displayed in the stats. It will be useful with soft stop.
The stats page reports this as time elapsed since last session. This
change does not adequately address the requirement for long running
session (websocket, RDP... etc).
The throttling of low weight servers (<16) could mistakenly be reported
as > 100% due to a rounding that was performed before a multiply by 100
instead of after. This was introduced in 1.5-dev20 when fixing a previous
reporting issue by commit d32c399 (MINOR: stats: report correct throttling
percentage for servers in slowstart).
It should be backported if the patch above is backported.
Add a DRAIN sub-state for a server which
will be shown on the stats page instead of UP if
its effective weight is zero.
Also, log if a server enters or leaves the DRAIN state
as the result of an agent check.

The column used to report the throttle percentage when a server is in
slowstart is based on the time only. This is wrong, because server weights
in slowstart are updated at most once a second, so the reported value is
wrong at least fo rone second during each step, which means all the time
when using short delays (< 20s).
The second point is that it's disturbing to see a weight < 100% without
any throttle at the end of the period (during the last second), because
the effective weight has not yet been updated.
Instead, we now compute the exact ratio between eweight and uweight and
report it. It's always accurate and describes the value being used instead
of using only the date.
It can be backported to 1.4 though it's not particularly important.
A crash was reported by Igor at owind when changing a server's weight
on the CLI. Lukas Tribus could reproduce a related bug where setting
a server's weight would result in the new weight being multiplied by
the initial one. The two bugs are the same.
The incorrect weight calculation results in the total farm weight being
larger than what was initially allocated, causing the map index to be out
of bounds on some hashes. It's easy to reproduce using "balance url_param"
with a variable param, or with "balance static-rr".
It appears that the calculation is made at many places and is not always
right and not always wrong the same way. Thus, this patch introduces a
new function "server_recalc_eweight()" which is dedicated to this task
of computing ->eweight from many other elements including uweight and
current time (for slowstart), and all users now switch to use this
function.
The patch is a bit large but the code was not trivially fixable in a way
that could guarantee this situation would not occur anymore. The fix is
much more readable and has been verified to work with all algorithms,
with both consistent and map-based hashes, and even with static-rr.
Slowstart was tested as well, just like enable/disable server.
The same bug is very likely present in 1.4 as well, so the patch will
probably need to be backported eventhough it will not apply as-is.
Thanks to Lukas and Igor for the information they provided to reproduce it.
Paramatise the following functions over the check of a server
* set_server_down
* set_server_up
* srv_getinter
* server_status_printf
* set_server_check_status
* set_server_disabled
* set_server_enabled
Generally the server parameter of these functions has been removed.
Where it is still needed it is obtained using check->server.
This is in preparation for associating a agent check
with a server which runs as well as the server's existing check.
By paramatising these functions they may act on each of the checks
without further significant modification.
Explanation of the SSP_O_HCHK portion of this change:
* Prior to this patch SSP_O_HCHK serves a single purpose which
is to tell server_status_printf() weather it should print
the details of the check of a server or not.
With the paramatisation that this patch adds there are two cases.
1) Printing the details of the check in which case a
valid check parameter is needed.
2) Not printing the details of the check in which case
the contents check parameter are unused.
In case 1) we could pass SSP_O_HCHK and a valid check and;
In case 2) we could pass !SSP_O_HCHK and any value for check
including NULL.
If NULL is used for case 2) then SSP_O_HCHK becomes supurfulous
and as NULL is used for case 2) SSP_O_HCHK has been removed.

Break out set weight processing code.
This is in preparation for reusing the code.
Also, remove duplicate check in nested if clauses.
{px->lbprm.algo & BE_LB_PROP_DYN) is checked by
the immediate outer if clause, so there is no need
to check it a second time.

Just like with the "bind" lines, we'll switch the "server" line
parsing to keyword registration. The code is essentially the same
as for bind keywords, with minor changes such as support for the
default-server keywords and support for variable argument count.
There are a few remaining max values that need to move to counters.
Also, the counters are more often used than some config information,
so get them closer to the other useful struct members for better cache
efficiency.
Some users want to keep the max sessions/s seen on servers, frontends
and backends for capacity planning. It's easy to grab it while the
session count is updated, so let's keep it.
With this change, all frontends, backends, and servers maintain a session
counter and a timer to compute a session rate over the last second. This
value will be very useful because it varies instantly and can be used to
check thresholds. This value is also reported in the stats in a new "rate"
column.
This patch adds two new variables: fastinter and downinter.
When server state is:
- non-transitionally UP -> inter (no change)
- transitionally UP (going down), unchecked or transitionally DOWN (going up) -> fastinter
- down -> downinter
It allows to set something like:
server sr6 127.0.51.61:80 cookie s6 check inter 10000 downinter 20000 fastinter 500 fall 3 weight 40
In the above example haproxy uses 10000ms between checks but as soon as
one check fails fastinter (500ms) is used. If server is down
downinter (20000) is used or fastinter (500ms) if one check pass.
Fastinter is also used when haproxy starts.
New "timeout.check" variable was added, if set haproxy uses it as an additional
read timeout, but only after a connection has been already established. I was
thinking about using "timeout.server" here but most people set this
with an addition reserve but still want checks to kick out laggy servers.
Please also note that in most cases check request is much simpler
and faster to handle than normal requests so this timeout should be smaller.
I also changed the timeout used for check connections establishing.
Changes from the previous version:
- use tv_isset() to check if the timeout is set,
- use min("timeout connect", "inter") but only if "timeout check" is set
as this min alone may be to short for full (connect + read) check,
- debug code (fprintf) commented/removed
- documentation
Compile tested only (sorry!) as I'm currently traveling but changes
are rather small and trivial.
Hello,
This patch implements new statistics for SLA calculation by adding new
field 'Dwntime' with total down time since restart (both HTTP/CSV) and
extending status field (HTTP) or inserting a new one (CSV) with time
showing how long each server/backend is in a current state. Additionaly,
down transations are also calculated and displayed for backends, so it is
possible to know how many times selected backend was down, generating "No
server is available to handle this request." error.
New information are presentetd in two different ways:
- for HTTP: a "human redable form", one of "100000d 23h", "23h 59m" or
"59m 59s"
- for CSV: seconds
I believe that seconds resolution is enough.
As there are more columns in the status page I decided to shrink some
names to make more space:
- Weight -> Wght
- Check -> Chk
- Down -> Dwn
Making described changes I also made some improvements and fixed some
small bugs:
- don't increment s->health above 's->rise + s->fall - 1'. Previously it
was incremented an then (re)set to 's->rise + s->fall - 1'.
- do not set server down if it is down already
- do not set server up if it is up already
- fix colspan in multiple places (mostly introduced by my previous patch)
- add missing "status" header to CSV
- fix order of retries/redispatches in server (CSV)
- s/Tthen/Then/
- s/server/backend/ in DATA_ST_PX_BE (dumpstats.c)
Changes from previous version:
- deal with negative time intervales
- don't relay on s->state (SRV_RUNNING)
- little reworked human_time + compacted format (no spaces). If needed it
can be used in the future for other purposes by optionally making "cnt"
as an argument
- leave set_server_down mostly unchanged
- only little reworked "process_chk: 9"
- additional fields in CSV are appended to the rigth
- fix "SEC" macro
- named arguments (human_time, be_downtime, srv_downtime)
Hope it is OK. If there are only cosmetic changes needed please fill free
to correct it, however if there are some bigger changes required I would
like to discuss it first or at last to know what exactly was changed
especially since I already put this patch into my production server. :)
Thank you,
Best regards,
Krzysztof Oledzki
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.
