This is a simple wrapper to make life with HAProxy a little more convenient.
- Acts as an init script for start, stop, reload, restart, etc
- Leverages 'socket' to enable and disable servers on the fly
- Formats server weight and backends in a readable way
- Provides Nagios and Cloudkick health checks
- chkconfig/service-able for Redhat folk
Here is a presentation about it.
On most UNIX, assuming HAProxy is in the $PATH:
git clone [email protected]:flores/haproxyctl.git ln -s haproxyctl/haproxyctl /etc/init.d/haproxyctl
For chkconfig/RedHat/Centos, add:
chkconfig --add haproxyctl
There is also an HAProxy source installation script. This installs not only the steps above but latest HAProxy sources!
# ./haproxyctl help
usage: ./haproxyctl
where argument can be:
start: start haproxy unless it is already running
stop: stop an existing haproxy
restart: immediately shutdown and restart
reload: gracefully terminate existing connections, reload /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
status: is haproxy running? on what ports per lsof?
configcheck: check /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
nagios: nagios-friendly status for running process and listener
cloudkick: cloudkick.com-friendly status and metric for connected users
show health: show status of all frontends and backend servers
show backends: show status of backend pools of servers
enable all : re-enable a server previously in maint mode on multiple backends
disable all : disable a server from every backend it exists
enable all EXCEPT : like 'enable all', but re-enables every backend except for
disable all EXCEPT : like 'disable all', but disables every backend except for
clear counters: clear max statistics counters (add 'all' for all counters)
help: this message
prompt: toggle interactive mode with prompt
quit: disconnect
show info: report information about the running process
show stat [counter...]: report counters for each proxy and server
show errors: report last request and response errors for each proxy
show sess [id]: report the list of current sessions or dump this session
get weight: report a server's current weight
set weight: change a server's weight
set timeout: change a timeout setting
disable server: set a server in maintenance mode
enable server: re-enable a server that was previously in maintenance mode
