DeviceAtlas Device Detection
----------------------------
In order to add DeviceAtlas Device Detection support, you would need to download
the API source code from https://deviceatlas.com/deviceatlas-haproxy-module.
The build supports the USE_PCRE and USE_PCRE2 options. Once extracted :
$ make TARGET=<target> USE_PCRE=1 (or USE_PCRE2=1) USE_DEVICEATLAS=1 DEVICEATLAS_SRC=<path to the API root folder>
Optionally DEVICEATLAS_INC and DEVICEATLAS_LIB may be set to override the path
to the include files and libraries respectively if they're not in the source
directory. However, if the API had been installed beforehand, DEVICEATLAS_SRC
can be omitted. Note that the DeviceAtlas C API version supported is the 2.4.0
at minimum.
For HAProxy developers who need to verify that their changes didn't accidentally
break the DeviceAtlas code, it is possible to build a dummy library provided in
the addons/deviceatlas/dummy directory and to use it as an alternative for the
full library. This will not provide the full functionalities, it will just allow
haproxy to start with a deviceatlas configuration, which generally is enough to
validate API changes :
$ make TARGET=<target> USE_PCRE=1 USE_DEVICEATLAS=1 DEVICEATLAS_SRC=$PWD/addons/deviceatlas/dummy
These are supported DeviceAtlas directives (see doc/configuration.txt) :
- deviceatlas-json-file <path to the DeviceAtlas JSON data file>.
- deviceatlas-log-level <number> (0 to 3, level of information returned by
the API, 0 by default).
- deviceatlas-property-separator <character> (character used to separate the
properties produced by the API, | by default).
Sample configuration :
global
deviceatlas-json-file <path to json file>
...
frontend
bind *:8881
default_backend servers
There are two distinct methods available, one which leverages all HTTP headers
and one which uses only a single HTTP header for the detection. The former
method is highly recommended and more accurate. There are several possible use
cases.
# To transmit the DeviceAtlas data downstream to the target application
All HTTP headers via the sample / fetch
http-request set-header X-DeviceAtlas-Data %[da-csv-fetch(primaryHardwareType,osName,osVersion,browserName,browserVersion,browserRenderingEngine)]
Single HTTP header (e.g. User-Agent) via the converter
http-request set-header X-DeviceAtlas-Data %[req.fhdr(User-Agent),da-csv-conv(primaryHardwareType,osName,osVersion,browserName,browserVersion,browserRenderingEngine)]
# Mobile content switching with ACL
All HTTP headers
acl is_mobile da-csv-fetch(mobileDevice) 1
Single HTTP header
acl device_type_tablet req.fhdr(User-Agent),da-csv-conv(primaryHardwareType) "Tablet"
Optionally a JSON download scheduler is provided to allow a data file being
fetched automatically in a daily basis without restarting HAProxy :
$ cd addons/deviceatlas && make [DEVICEATLAS_SRC=<path to the API root folder>]
Similarly, if the DeviceAtlas API is installed, DEVICEATLAS_SRC can be omitted.
$ ./dadwsch -u JSON data file URL e.g. "https://deviceatlas.com/getJSON?licencekey=<your licence key>&format=zip&data=my&index=web" \
[-p download directory path /tmp by default] \
[-d scheduled hour of download, hour when the service is launched by default]
Noted it needs to be started before HAProxy.
