Miroslav Zagorac 2e962a5443 MEDIUM: otel: implemented filter callbacks and event dispatcher
Replaced the stub filter callbacks with full implementations that dispatch
OTel events through the scope execution engine, and added the supporting
debug, error handling and utility infrastructure.

The filter lifecycle callbacks (init, deinit, init_per_thread) now
initialize the OpenTelemetry C wrapper library, create the tracer from the
instrumentation configuration file, enable HTX stream filtering, and clean
up the configuration and memory pools on shutdown.

The stream callbacks (attach, stream_start, stream_set_backend,
stream_stop, detach, check_timeouts) create the per-stream runtime context
on attach with rate-limit based sampling, fire the corresponding OTel
events (on-stream-start, on-backend-set, on-stream-stop), manage the
idle timeout timer with reschedule logic in detach, and free the runtime
context in check_timeouts.  The attach callback also registers the
required pre and post channel analyzers from the instrumentation
configuration.

The channel callbacks (start_analyze, pre_analyze, post_analyze,
end_analyze) register per-channel analyzers, map analyzer bits to event
indices via flt_otel_get_event(), and dispatch the matching events.
The end_analyze callback also fires the on-server-unavailable event
when response analyzers were configured but never executed.

The HTTP callbacks (http_headers, http_end, http_reply, and the debug-only
http_payload and http_reset) dispatch their respective request/response
events based on the channel direction.

The event dispatcher flt_otel_event_run() in event.c iterates over all
scopes matching a given event index and calls flt_otel_scope_run() for
each, sharing a common monotonic and wall-clock timestamp across all spans
within a single event.

Error handling is centralized in flt_otel_return_int() and
flt_otel_return_void(), which implement the hard-error/soft-error policy:
hard errors disable the filter for the stream, soft errors are silently
cleared.

The new debug.h header provides conditional debug macros
(FLT_OTEL_DBG_ARGS, FLT_OTEL_DBG_BUF) and the FLT_OTEL_LOG macro for
structured logging through the instrumentation's log server list.  The
utility layer gained debug-only label functions for channel direction,
proxy mode, stream position, filter type, and analyzer bit name lookups.

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
