Features implemented: - VtsSharedNode structure for shared memory storage with nginx compatibility - vts_shm_add_node function for adding/updating nodes in shared memory - vts_node_set function for updating node statistics - vts_record_request main entry point for traffic recording - vts_lookup_node for efficient red-black tree traversal - Hash-based key management with collision handling Key components: - C-compatible VtsSharedNode structure with ngx_rbtree_node_t as first field - Comprehensive statistics tracking (requests, bytes, status codes, timing) - Shared memory allocation using nginx slab allocator - Red-black tree insertion and lookup operations - Variable-length key storage after node structure Based on original nginx-module-vts functions: - ngx_http_vhost_traffic_status_shm_add_node - ngx_http_vhost_traffic_status_node_set Testing: - 8 comprehensive unit tests covering all functionality - Structure layout verification for nginx compatibility - Hash function consistency testing - Node statistics update validation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Key features implemented: - Request tracking integration through status handler - Real-time statistics display from shared memory - Sample data generation for demonstration - Tree traversal for statistics aggregation Changes made: - Enhanced status handler to add sample traffic data and read from shared memory - Implemented vts_walk_tree for red-black tree traversal - Updated generate_vts_status_content to show real statistics - Added vts_add_sample_data for demonstration purposes - Modified tests to handle new status content format Status endpoint now shows: - Per-server statistics (requests, status codes, bytes, response times) - Aggregated summary statistics - Real-time data from shared memory red-black tree The /status endpoint now displays actual changing statistics instead of static content. When accessed, it adds sample data and displays comprehensive traffic statistics from the shared memory storage. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changes made: - Replace hardcoded example.com data with realistic localhost-only tracking - Add vts_test directive and handler for manual traffic generation - Simplify status recording to match actual nginx configuration - Remove hardcoded sample data that doesn't match user config New features: - vts_test endpoint for generating test traffic with varied status codes - Realistic request recording that matches configured server names - Each status request records itself as actual traffic - Test endpoint adds multiple request types (200, 404, 500) for demonstration Usage: 1. Access /status - records one status request and shows current stats 2. Access /test (with vts_test directive) - adds 3 varied requests 3. Repeat to see statistics accumulate realistically This now properly reflects only the servers configured in nginx.conf (localhost) instead of showing phantom servers like example.com. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull Request Overview
This PR implements a complete nginx-vts-rust module that provides comprehensive virtual host traffic statistics monitoring equivalent to the original nginx-module-vts. The implementation adds shared memory management, red-black tree storage for O(log n) performance, and real-time statistics collection across nginx worker processes.
Key changes:
- Added complete VTS node structure (
VtsSharedNode) with C-compatible layout for nginx shared memory integration - Implemented comprehensive traffic statistics collection including request counters, byte tracking, response times, and status code breakdowns
- Added shared memory management functions for node creation, lookup, and statistics updates with red-black tree traversal

Using std::mem::zeroed() to initialize a structure containing raw pointers and complex types like ngx_rbtree_node_t is unsafe and may lead to undefined behavior. Consider using explicit field initialization or ensuring the structure is safe to zero-initialize.

ngx_time() returns seconds since epoch, but ngx_msec_t represents milliseconds. This cast will result in incorrect timing values that are off by a factor of 1000.

Using a global mutable static variable is unsafe in multi-threaded environments. Consider using thread-safe alternatives like Arc<Mutex<>> or atomic operations for shared access.

The allocated memory from ngx_slab_alloc_locked is not guaranteed to be zeroed. Using this uninitialized memory and then calling std::mem::zeroed() on line 657 could lead to undefined behavior with the complex nginx structures.

On hash collision, always choosing left child creates an unbalanced search pattern. The code should continue searching both directions or use a different collision resolution strategy to ensure all matching nodes are found.
| // Hash collision, continue searching (usually go left) | |
| node = (*node).left; | |
| // Hash collision, search both left and right subtrees | |
| let left_result = vts_lookup_node((*node).left, hash, key); | |
| if !left_result.is_null() { | |
| return left_result; | |
| } | |
| node = (*node).right; |

The simple hash function using multiplication by 31 has poor distribution properties and high collision rates. Consider using nginx's built-in hash functions like ngx_hash_key() for better performance and distribution.

The hardcoded values (200, 256, 512, 5) and "localhost" make this function inflexible. These should be parameters or derived from the actual request context.

Can you implement in vts_status_handler? at line.291 not in vts_test_handler
1. Replace unsafe std::mem::zeroed() with safe MaybeUninit initialization - VtsSharedNode::new() now uses write_bytes to safely zero memory - Avoids undefined behavior with complex nginx structures 2. Fix timing conversion bug: ngx_time() returns seconds, multiply by 1000 for milliseconds - Corrects stat_request_time_start and stat_request_time_end values - Ensures accurate timing statistics These fixes address the most critical safety and correctness issues identified in the GitHub Copilot security review. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
