For example you can run haproxy on a VM inside a Windows host under Hyper-V, if you're that much into Windows. But in reality I would not either, because this makes you dependant on the Windows IP stack, and I doubt anyone would want this in a production when he has other choices, especially when said stack has bugs like this. HAProxy, which stands for High Availability Proxy, is a popular open source software TCP/HTTP Load Balancer and proxying solution which can be run on Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. Its most common use is to improve the performance and reliability of a server environment by distributing the workload across multiple servers (e.g. Web, application.

Metricbeat is a lightweight shipper that helps you monitor your HAProxy servers by collecting metrics from the HAProxy server. Configure Metricbeat using the pre-defined examples below to collect and ship HAProxy service metrics and statistics to Logstash or Elasticsearch.

First we need to install Metricbeat.

deb (Debian/Ubuntu)

rpm (Redhat/Centos)

macOS

Windows

• Download the Metricbeat Windows zip file from the official downloads page.

• Extract the contents of the zip file into C:Program Files.

• Rename the metricbeat-<version>-windows directory to Metricbeat.

• Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator). If you are running Windows XP, you may need to download and install PowerShell.

• Run the following commands to install Metricbeat as a Windows service:

deb/rpm/etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml
mac/win<EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/metricbeat.yml

We'll be shipping to Logstash so that we have the option to run filters before the data is indexed.
Comment out the elasticsearch output block.

Uncomment and change the logstash output to match below.

There are several built in metricbeat modules you can use. To enable the HAProxy module, run the following:

deb/rpm

macOS

Windows

Each module has its own configuration file where different metricsets can be enabled / disabled. Locate the configuration file for the HAProxy module.

deb/rpm/etc/metricbeat/modules.d/haproxy.yml

mac/win~/<EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/modules.d/haproxy.yml

By default the info and stat metricsets are disabled. To enable or disable a metric simply comment or uncomment the line out.

Ok, time to start gathering metrics!

deb/rpm

macOS

Windows

The HAProxy metricsets are tested with HAProxy versions 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8.

This is just a short write-up on installing HAProxy version 1.8 on CentOS 7 using Software Collections. HAProxy is an application layer (Layer 7) load balancing and high availability solution that you can use to implement a reverse proxy for HTTP and TCP-based Internet services. I am using it to expose my webservices through a reverse proxy.

If default HAProxy version 1.5 is installed then it should be removed because it is blocking the new version we are going to install.

This warning indicates that your old HAProxy config file is renamed. This is useful to know if you are planning to use the same file in HAProxy version 1.8.

Install the Software Collections (SCL) repository to get access to the new HAProxy version

Update your repositories and accept the new repository.

Installing HAProxy 1.8

The rh-haproxy18-haproxy-syspaths package is a system-wide wrapper for the rh-haproxy18-haproxy package and allows us to run HAProxy 1.8 as a service. This package conflicts with the HAProxy and cannot be installed on one system.

If we now look in /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg we will see that the config file is a symling to the new package

Install Haproxy From Source

If you had HAProxy 1.5 installed previously and would like to continue using the config file, copy it to the new location. First we preserve the original HAProxy 1.8 config file by renaming it or just copy the rules that you need from the old config.

We are now ready to start HAProxy 1.8 with our old config file

If we would like to have the new HAProxy version to auto-start on reboot

Done.

Installing HAProxy 1.8 on RedHat 7 is similar, except you use subscription-manager and add the software collections repository.
