HAProxyCTL

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.

Installation

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!

Options

# ./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

Examples

Status check

  ./haproxyctl status
  haproxy is running on pid 23162.
  these ports are used and guys are connected:

  ./haproxyctl "show health" |grep nginx_belem

Graceful reloads

  ./haproxyctl reload
  gracefully stopping connections on pid 23162...
  checking if connections still alive on 23162...
  reloaded haproxy on pid 1119

does normal things like checks if a process is running before starting it...

  ./haproxyctl start    
  ./haproxyctl:35: haproxy is already running on pid 20317! (RuntimeError)
  
  ./haproxyctl restart
  stopping existing haproxy on pid 20317...
  waiting a ms...
  checking if haproxy is still running...
  starting haproxy...
  done.  running on pid 20348

keeps all the regular UNIX socket stuff
