HAProxy Metrics

To get started first follow the steps below:

• Install metricbeat
• Root access
• Verify the required port is open

Older versions can be found here metricbeat 7, metricbeat 6, metricbeat 5

The configuration file below is pre-configured to send data to your Logit.io Stack via Logstash.

Copy the configuration file below and overwrite the contents of metricbeat.yml.

###################### Logit.io Metricbeat Configuration #######################
# =========================== Modules configuration ============================

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

deb/rpm

metricbeat modules list
metricbeat modules enable haproxy

macOS

./metricbeat modules list
./metricbeat modules enable haproxy

Windows

PS > .\metricbeat.exe modules enable haproxy

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.

- module: haproxy
  metricsets:
    - info
    - stat
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["tcp://127.0.0.1:14567"]

Start or restart metricbeat to apply the configuration changes.

Data should now have been sent to your Stack.
