HTTP Health check backend with HAProxy package via GET request

Kirill2401

Hi all!

I need to configure the HTTP health check via GET requests on custom address for the backend. The backend has two servers. Each server has the same URL like http://servername:8080/monitoring/teststatus which return status code 500 or 200, which depends on internal checks on the server

I have two questions:

Can you explain or give me the example of how I should write the HTTP health check for backend via GET request with address http://servername:8080/monitoring/teststatus?
Can I configure the http health check (GET) for every server in the backend? On the web interface, I didn't find how to do it, because there is only one check for the common backend. Maybe I should do it in another way?

What do you mean with 'custom address' ?

haproxy itself will normally check all the servers with the same health-check.
These parameters should do it.?:

Method = GET
Url = /monitoring/teststatus

Or perhaps you want to configure a 'port' option on the server to make it check on a different port than the regular traffic go's to? Could add that on the server-pass-thru option.

Or if you need something totally different, then perhaps you could investigate the agent-check..?

Hi, PiBa!

This is exactly what I need! Thanks, it works for me with the server-pass-thru option :)
