This patch adds the "maxqueue" parameter to the server. This allows new
sessions to be immediately rebalanced when the server's queue is filled.
It's useful when session stickiness is just a performance boost (even a
huge one) but not a requirement.
This should only be used if session affinity isn't a hard functional
requirement but provides performance boost by keeping server-local
caches hot and compact).
Absence of 'maxqueue' option means unlimited queue. When queue gets filled
up to 'maxqueue' client session is moved from server-local queue to a global
one.
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
It is important to know how your installation performs. Haproxy masks
connection errors, which is extremely good for a client but it is bad for
an administrator (except people believing that "ignorance is a bless").
Attached patch adds retries and redispatches counters, so now haproxy:
1. For server:
- counts retried connections (masked or not)
2. For backends:
- counts retried connections (masked or not) that happened to
a slave server
- counts redispatched connections
- does not count successfully redispatched connections as backend errors.
Errors are increased only when client does not get a valid response,
in other words: with failed redispatch or when this function is not
enabled.
3. For statistics:
- display Retr (retries) and Redis (redispatches) as a "Warning"
information.
Struct server has gathered lots of informations over the time, but
it's better for clarity and performance to group those information
by usage, the most common ones at the top and the least ones at the
bottom.
Patch from Fabrice Dulaunoy. Explanation below, and script
merged in examples/.
This patch allow to put a different address in the check part for each
server (and not only a specific port)
I need this feature because I've a complex settings where, when a specific
farm goes down, I need to switch a set of other farm either if these other
farm behave perfectly well.
For that purpose, I've made a small PERL daemon with some REGEX or PORT
test which allow me to test a bunch of thing.
Using the cttproxy kernel patch, it's possible to bind to any source
address. It is highly recommended to use the 03-natdel patch with the
other ones.
A new keyword appears as a complement to the "source" keyword : "usesrc".
The source address is mandatory and must be valid on the interface which
will see the packets. The "usesrc" option supports "client" (for full
client_ip:client_port spoofing), "client_ip" (for client_ip spoofing)
and any 'IP[:port]' combination to pretend to be another machine.
Right now, the source binding is missing from server health-checks if
set to another address. It must be implemented (think restricted firewalls).
The doc is still missing too.
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.
