HAProxy-Exporter - HAProxy stats to Sensision Metrics

Build Status

HAProxy-Exporter scrapes HAProxy stats and expose them as a Sensision HTTP endpoint.

HAProxy-Exporter features:

  • Simple: HAProxy-Exporter fetch stats through HTTP endpoint or Unix socket.
  • Highly scalable: HAProxy-Exporter can export stats of thousands HAProxy.
  • Pluggable: Export your metrics via Beamium.
  • Versatile: HAProxy-Exporter can flush metrics to files.

Status

HAProxy-Exporter is currently used at OVH to monitor thousands of HAProxy instances. Do not worry about scalability ;)

Datapoints

HAProxy-Exporter will automatically collect all metrics exposed by HAProxy on its control socket, including all frontends, bachends and individual servers. To help classify these metrics, HAProxy-Exporter will name is haproxy.stats.[METRIC_NAME] and automatically insert a timestamp with a resolution of a micro-second as well as 3 labels:

  • pxname: Proxy name. This is the string after frontend, backend and listen keywords in you HAProxy configuration.
  • svname: Service name. This 'BACKEND', 'FRONTEND' or the name of the server field for server metrics.
  • type: Type of the object. (0=frontend, 1=backend, 2=server, 3=socket/listener)

Additional labels may be configured in the documentation. See below.

Sample metrics

1483065169580915// haproxy.stats.eresp{pxname=80,svname=BACKEND,type=1} 41297
1483065169580915// haproxy.stats.cli_abrt{pxname=80,svname=BACKEND,type=1} 1251859
1483065169580915// haproxy.stats.bout{pxname=80,svname=BACKEND,type=1} 553018374845
1483065169580915// haproxy.stats.scur{pxname=80,svname=BACKEND,type=1} 764
1483065169580915// haproxy.stats.dreq{pxname=80,svname=BACKEND,type=1} 0

Building

HAProxy-Exporter is pretty easy to build.

  • Clone the repository
  • Setup a minimal working config (see bellow)
  • Build and run go run haproxy-exporter.go

Usage

haproxy-exporter [flags]

Flags:
      --config string   config file to use
      --listen string   listen address (default "127.0.0.1:9100")
  -v, --verbose         verbose output

sources: # Sources definitions
  - uri: http://localhost/haproxy?stats;csv # HTTP stats uri
    labels: # Labels are added to every metrics (Optional)
      label_name : label_value # Label definition
  - uri: http://user:pass@haproxy.example.com/haproxy?stats;csv # HTTP with basic auth stats uri
  - uri: unix:/run/haproxy/admin.sock # Socket stats uri

Metrics

HAProxy-Exporter can expose some or all HAProxy stats:
