dataplaneapi can't read/access haproxy-master.sock

[hellracer]

I'm trying to call this endpoint but the response from the API is this
http://192.168.144.225:5555/v2/services/haproxy/stats/native

[
  {
    "error": "dial unix unix@/run/haproxy-master.sock: connect: no such file or directory",
    "runtimeAPI": "unix@/run/haproxy-master.sock@1",
    "stats": null
  }
]
evidently the socket file exist in the filesystem
root@LB01:~# ls -al /run/haproxy-master.sock 
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Nov  9 16:24 /run/haproxy-master.sock

Are you sure you have the correct permissions for that file?

[hellracer]

haproxy run under the user haproxy, i don't know why the socket file permission was set to root even though i change the ownership of this socket file to haproxy still it didn't work and I haven't seen any instruction on how to set the permission of the socket file, thanks for looking into this

I solved this issue on my side by removing the loading of this socket from the systemd haproxy service.
You need to delete this line from the service script "EXTRAOPTS=-S /run/haproxy-master.sock"
After that you can use the stats socket normally. ;-)

@DiscoveringWorld thanks a ton it's working now
