HAProxy

Sample HAProxy config

A simple, sample HAProxy config file for routing incoming requests to multiple goliath app servers: several app servers per API, and multiple API’s on the same, or multiple machines. For more details on the Haproxy syntax, please read the configuration documentation. Otherwise, the config file should be self-explanatory:

global
    pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid
    log 127.0.0.1 local0 info

defaults
    mode http

    clitimeout          600000   # maximum inactivity time on the client side
    srvtimeout          600000   # maximum inactivity time on the server side
    timeout connect     8000  	 # maximum time to wait for a connection attempt to a server to succeed

    stats enable
    stats auth		admin:password
    stats uri		/monitor
    stats refresh	5s
    option httpchk	GET /status
    retries		5
    option redispatch

    balance roundrobin	# each server is used in turns, according to assigned weight

    bind :80
    monitor-uri   /haproxy  # end point to monitor HAProxy status (returns 200)

    acl api1 path_reg ^/api1/?
