That's what we'd all like. Currently the CSV lacks some information compared to the HTML. But we can't export everything in it without breaking its simple format, and breaking it is out of questions. So my goal is to have a "detailed" version of the CSV that would use quotes to delimit strings, and that more advanced parsers will be able to use.
Just as an idea: What do you think about an additional XML stats output format? The CSV could stay backwards compatible with basic/technical information only, while the XML format could be (similar to the HTML/XHTML) configurable with custom fields. It would prevent breaking parsers even if haproxy itself adds new fields in the future. The data could be grouped logically, no need to store identifiers multiple times...
Best, John
