It is a well known limitation which is even explained in the doc :
Note : Consider not using this feature in multi-process mode (nbproc > 1)
unless you know what you do : memory is not shared between the
processes, which can result in random behaviours.
Yes for sure this is annoying and we would all like to see this change.
Doing it represents a significant amount of work and will likely affect
general performance.
For now the best solution you can use is to have one stats page per
process (eg: using a different IP or port). Something like this for
example :
listen stats-proc1
bind 127.0.0.1:8080
bind-process 1
stats uri /
listen stats-proc2
bind 127.0.0.2:8080
bind-process 2
stats uri /
listen stats-proc3
bind 127.0.0.3:8080
bind-process 3
stats uri /
etc...
That said, you're saying that you're running on 1.4. So it's not
even for SSL that you're running with nbproc > 1. Do you have a
very good reason for this ?
Hoping this helps,
Willy
