# Coraza SPOE engine configuration. # # Written to /etc/haproxy/coraza-spoe.cfg by haproxy_manager.generate_config() # when HAPROXY_CORAZA_SPOE_BACKEND env var is set. Referenced from haproxy.cfg # via `filter spoe engine coraza config /etc/haproxy/coraza-spoe.cfg`. # # Engine name "coraza" must match the engine name in the filter line in the # main config; group name "coraza-req" must match the send-spoe-group action. # Application name "haproxy" must match the application block in coraza-spoa's # config.yaml. # # Reference: this config follows the shape from coraza-spoa's upstream # example/haproxy/coraza.cfg (v0.7.1). Arg NAMES are a contract with # coraza-spoa — DO NOT rename without coordinating with the agent. Ordering: # only `app` is positional (it must be FIRST); the rest are matched by name. [coraza] spoe-agent coraza # `groups` (not `messages`) lists the spoe-group names this engine offers # via `send-spoe-group` actions. The same group name appears below in a # spoe-group block, which in turn references the actual message. groups coraza-req # Prefix for variables the agent sets back on the request transaction — # e.g. var(txn.coraza.error) when set-on-error triggers. option var-prefix coraza # On agent error/timeout, set var(txn.coraza.error). We DON'T add a # corresponding `http-request deny if { var(txn.coraza.error) -m bool }` # in the frontend, so the request continues uninspected. This is the # fail-open posture: WAF outage shouldn't 503 customer traffic. option set-on-error error timeout hello 2s timeout idle 2m timeout processing 100ms use-backend coraza-spoa-backend # NO `log global` here, deliberately. # # `log global` in a spoe-agent emits one line PER INSPECTED REQUEST, e.g. # SPOE: [coraza] sid=537 st=0 0/0/0/0/0 32/32 0/0 0/467 # Measured on whp01 immediately after access logging started working: # 618 SPOE lines vs 669 real access lines -- it was ~48% of the log volume, # i.e. it would roughly DOUBLE the edge's log footprint (~400 MB/day extra) # to record `st=0` over and over. # # It carries nothing incident response needs: the WAF's verdict is already # visible in the access log line (status 403 + the `id=` UUID, which joins # to /var/log/coraza/audit.log for the rule_id), and per-transaction WAF # detail is written by the SPOA itself to /var/log/coraza/spoa.log. # Agent-level failures still surface via `option set-on-error error` -> # var(txn.coraza.error) and the fail-open path in hap_listener.tpl. # Per-request inspection message. No `event` directive — fires only when # explicitly invoked from haproxy.cfg via `http-request send-spoe-group`. # # How coraza-spoa v0.7.1 reads these args (measured from source, not inferred): # * `app` MUST be the first arg. internal/agent.go HandleSPOE reads exactly # one KV entry and Panics if its name is not "app". # * Every other arg is matched BY NAME in a switch (internal/application.go # HandleRequest); order is irrelevant and unknown names are ignored with a # debug log. So a typo'd name silently drops that input — renames still # break inspection, they just don't error. # `app=str(haproxy)` is the literal application name from coraza-spoa's # config.yaml `applications:` block. # # id=unique-id makes Coraza's transaction ID the SAME UUID HAProxy generates # via `unique-id-format %[uuid()]` (hap_header.tpl) — the value shown on the # 403-waf.html page, sent as X-Request-Reference, and logged as `id=` in # /var/log/haproxy.log. coraza-spoa passes it to waf.NewTransactionWithID(), # so it becomes `transaction.id` in /var/log/coraza/audit.log and # `match.unique_id` in /var/log/coraza/spoa.log: a customer-quoted reference # greps straight to the rule that fired. Without it coraza-spoa invents a # random 16-letter A-Z ID that appears nowhere on the HAProxy side. If the # fetch ever came back empty the agent falls back to that random ID, so this # cannot break inspection. # # Response inspection (a `coraza-res` message) is NOT configured: # config.yaml has response_check: false. If it is ever enabled, coraza-res # MUST also send `id=unique-id` -- HandleResponse # looks the request transaction up by that ID and errors without it. # # src-ip uses var(txn.real_ip) — HAProxy resolves the real client IP at the # top of the frontend (CF-Connecting-IP > X-Real-IP > X-Forwarded-For > src, # only honoring those headers from trusted proxies). Falls back to `src` # when no proxy headers are present. This is what shows up as `client_ip` # in /var/log/coraza/audit.log and the rule manager's view-matches panel. spoe-message coraza-req args app=str(haproxy) id=unique-id src-ip=var(txn.real_ip) src-port=src_port dst-ip=dst dst-port=dst_port method=method path=path query=query version=req.ver headers=req.hdrs body=req.body # Group binding for send-spoe-group invocation in the frontend.
