An Idea for Real-Time HAProxy Monitoring with Beszel

[broxio]

Just want to share the idea , I recently came across this project and thought the real-time monitoring part was really interesting. After playing around with it for a while, I got the idea to pull data from HAProxy stats and display it using the Beszel framework. So far, it’s been working pretty well for my use case. , there is more stats that's can export through socket.

just add-on more info , I think it's just met my edge case but if you're ok with it I could contribute back to.

generic stats

Thank you for wonderful project.

Loving how this looks. Funny enough, I had a similar idea for Traefik, but I ended up dropping it for the same reason you mentioned—it felt like an edge case. I also couldn’t come up with a clean, generic way to implement it so that more applications could be added later on.

My idea was to create a separate agent that runs alongside the existing one, focused purely on application-specific integrations. That way, people can decide whether they need it and only run what’s relevant to them. It would also make it easier for the community to contribute additional agents without adding more maintenance burden for @henrygd . It would also allow for #1079

Yeah, I’m still not fully clear on the extensibility side either. Making something that works for one app is fine, but figuring out how to make it generic and integrate cleanly with Beszel without hard-coding assumptions is still an open question for me.

Because of that, it does feel a bit like an edge case right now. I’m not sure how many people would actually need this, or whether it’s worth formalizing into something more structured yet. For now, I’m mostly treating it as an experiment — trying things out, seeing what breaks, and whether any common patterns start to show up. If there’s real interest or repeat use cases, then it probably makes sense to think harder about a proper integration model.
