Bug Report

Describe the bug

Depending on what error (errno) was previously set, the message displayed for a wrongly configured http_proxy will be a non-related error message.

To Reproduce

  • Steps to reproduce the problem:

Use an http output plugin. Sample config below:

pipeline:
  inputs:
    - name: dummy
  outputs:
    - name: stdout
      match: "*"
    - name: http
      match: "*"
      host: ahost.domain.tld
service:
  log_level: debug

Run fluent-bit with the http_proxy environment variable set. Example below:

podman run --rm -it -e HTTP_PROXY=domain.tld -v $(pwd)/fluent-bit.yml:/fluent-bit/etc/fluent-bit.yml  fluent/fluent-bit:3.1.7 -c /fluent-bit/etc/fluent-bit.yml

Output of the run

Relevant lines from the log above:

[2024/09/02 17:24:50] [debug] [upstream] config->http_proxy: domain.tld
[2024/09/02 17:24:50] [error] [/src/fluent-bit/src/flb_upstream.c:293 errno=0] Success
[2024/09/02 17:24:50] [error] [output] failed to initialize 'http' plugin

In this case, the variable http_proxy doesn't contain the protocol but the error message says Success. If another value was previously set to errno, it will display the corresponding error message.

Expected behavior

It should display an error message that corresponds to the actual error.

Your Environment

  • Version used: 3.1.7 and master
  • Configuration: Provided above
  • Filters and plugins: http output

Additional context

Given the error is misleading, the user won't be able to solve the issue without checking the code or equivalent further troubleshooting.
