Pim van Pelt 59f3deef66 PRE-RELEASE v0.6.0
Describe the ipng_stats_logtail UDP feature in debian/control alongside
the per-VIP / per-device counter description, so the package metadata
reflects what the module actually ships.

Description: nginx dynamic module for per-VIP, per-device traffic counters
This package ships ngx_http_ipng_stats_module as a dynamic module
loadable into stock upstream nginx on Debian. The module records
per-VIP HTTP request counters, status code distribution, bytes in
and out, and request-duration histograms, and attributes each
request to the interface it arrived on. Counters are exposed as
Prometheus text and JSON from a single scrape endpoint.
.
Attribution is done by reading the ingress ifindex per connection
from the kernel's IP_PKTINFO / IPV6_PKTINFO cmsg; listening sockets
stay plain wildcards so outgoing packets follow the normal routing
table (which matters for DSR / maglev setups). The module adds
device= and ipng_source_tag= parameters to the nginx listen
directive, mapping interface names to source tags.
.
The module also provides an ipng_stats_logtail http-level directive
that ships every request as a UDP datagram to a collector, using a
named nginx log_format (so $ipng_source_tag and $server_addr are
available alongside the standard access-log variables). Each worker
holds a private in-memory buffer flushed on size or timer, over a
per-worker SOCK_DGRAM socket resolved once at configuration time.
Delivery is fire-and-forget — zero disk I/O, no backpressure — and
an if=$variable parameter suppresses selected requests (e.g. health
checks) before the format is rendered.
.
Typical use cases include GRE tunnel fleets, VLAN trunks, or any
deployment where traffic arrives on distinct interfaces and
per-interface observability is needed.
