Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
haproxy_frontend_current_session or haproxy_server_current_session should show the number of active sessions. Previously, the counters were not being reset and would increase indefinitely. The value of these counters are no longer preserved across router restarts and will now accurately depict the number of active sesssions.

Description jooho lee 2020-05-06 19:36:36 UTC
Created attachment 1685927 [details]
ocp 4.4

Description of problem:
From Prometheus, we can see haproxy exporter.

haproxy_frontend_current_session or haproxy_server_current_session should show active sessions but it does not show like that. It seems that the number of sessions keeps increasing. From my test environment, there is no load that's why I can see session decresement after load testing. However, for customer production cluster, it goes to 15 million with ocp 3.11 and 8k with ocp 4.4

With 4.4, there is not much data because the customer just upgraded and ingress pod restarted and lost the data. However, when I see the graph, it seems to have the same issues with ocp 3.x


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Prometheus UI
2. query "haproxy_frontend_current_seesions"
3. The value should be under 20000 * ingress nodes


Actual results:
The value keeps increasing

Expected results:
The value should show only active sessions so the session counts would be around 15k per router.

Comment 3 Clayton Coleman 2020-05-06 23:19:33 UTC
The impact is that almost all router metrics are wrong after a sustained interval.

Current sessions metric is now correct

Uploaded an query from the PR that shows sessions being correct

Comment 7 Arvind iyengar 2020-05-15 12:43:12 UTC
The PR was merged and made available in "4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-05-11-084820". It is verified that in this version the Prometheus UI now shows the correct metric data for "haproxy_frontend_current_session".
