HAProxy module

This module collects stats from HAProxy. It supports collection from using TCP sockets or HTTP with or without basic authentication.

To configure HAProxy to collect stats, you must enable the stats module, it can be done by enabling a TCP socket, or by adding an HTTP stats frontend.

Metricbeat can collect two metric sets from HAProxy, info and stats. info is not available when using HTTP stats frontend.

For example, to enable stats reporting via any local IP on port 14567, place this statement under the global or default section of the haproxy config:

 stats socket 127.0.0.1:14567

To configure the HTTP stats frontend, a frontend with stats enabled has to be added. For example, to open this frontend to any IP on port 14567 with required authentication add this to the haproxy config:

 listen stats
   bind 0.0.0.0:14567
   stats enable
   stats uri /stats
   stats auth admin:admin

The default metricsets are info`and `stat.

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

The HAProxy module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:

metricbeat.modules:
- module: haproxy
  metricsets: ["info", "stat"]
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["tcp://127.0.0.1:14567"]
  username : "admin"
  password : "admin"
  enabled: true

This module supports TLS connections when using ssl config field, as described in SSL. It also supports the options described in Standard HTTP config options.

The following metricsets are available:
