HAPROXY

HAPROXY

HAProxy is free, open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and proxy server for TCP and HTTP-based applications that spreads requests across multiple servers. It is written in C and has a reputation for being fast and efficient

This template is for Zabbix version: 7.2

Source: https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/templates/app/haproxy_http?at=release/7.2

HAProxy by HTTP

Overview

The template to monitor HAProxy by Zabbix that works without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.

The template collects metrics by polling the HAProxy stats page with HTTP agent.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.2 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • HAProxy 1.8

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

  1. Set up the HAProxy stats page.

If you want to use authentication, set the username and password in the stats auth option of the configuration file.

The example configuration of HAProxy:

frontend stats
    bind *:8404
    stats enable
    stats uri /stats
    stats refresh 10s
    #stats auth Username:Password  # Authentication credentials

  1. Set the hostname or IP address of the HAProxy stats host or container in the {$HAPROXY.STATS.HOST} macro. You can also change the status page port in the {$HAPROXY.STATS.PORT} macro, the status page scheme in the {$HAPROXY.STATS.SCHEME} macro and the status page path in the {$HAPROXY.STATS.PATH} macro if necessary.

  2. If you have enabled authentication in the HAProxy configuration file in step 1, set the username and password in the {$HAPROXY.USERNAME} and {$HAPROXY.PASSWORD} macros.

Name Description Expression Severity Dependencies and additional info
HAProxy: frontend {#PXNAME}: Session utilization is high

Alerting on this metric is essential to ensure your server has sufficient capacity to handle all concurrent sessions. Unlike requests, upon reaching the session limit HAProxy will deny additional clients until resource consumption drops. Furthermore, if you find your session usage percentage to be hovering above 80%, it could be time to either modify HAProxy's configuration to allow more sessions, or migrate your HAProxy server to a bigger box.
