HAProxy exporter

Linux

Windows

The HAProxy exporter is used to extract statistics on incoming and outgoing connections, as well as the status of backends and servers from the HAProxy.

Classically, it connects to a socket, which is why the corresponding authorizations must be set here.

From HAProxy version 2.0, a corresponding endpoint is included in HAProxy. This exporter is therefore no longer necessary.

Configuration

Native integration

From HAProxy 2.0, the following configuration can be set in HAProxy to open the VIMON endpoint:

frontend vimon
        bind *:9101
        option http-use-htx (option removed > haproxy 2.5)
        http-request use-service prometheus-exporter if { path /metrics }
        stats enable
        stats uri /stats
        stats refresh 10s

Exporter integration

If the exporter is used, the socket must be activated in HAProxy, e.g.:

global
        stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin expose-fd listeners

The HAProxy exporter must also be installed in VIMON.

The socket must then be linked here in vimon/config/haproxy_exporter/haproxy_exporter.conf:

SOCKETPATH=unix:/run/haproxy/admin.sock
