Hi!

as you've noted, the environment in which you run your code is very
important.  Remember that Lua is used by many programs as an
"extension language".  That means that each program (HAProxy in your
case) makes its functionality available to scripts written in Lua.

since you already have some working code in some other environment, I
guess you do have some familiarity with the language itself, so your
issues are probably more about HAProxy extensions.

I've never used Lua with HAProxy, but from a quick search, I see the
main documentation about using Lua with HAProxy is here:
https://www.arpalert.org/haproxy-lua.html and the reference is here:
https://www.arpalert.org/src/haproxy-lua-api/2.0dev/index.html

have your read those documents?  Or is some specific point there that
might be confusing and we could help interpreting?
