This plugin allows you to monitor your HAproxy loadbalancer. You can see the state of your frontend (servers loadbalanced) and backend (HAproxy itself)
- New relic account, find our plugin in the plugin central
- Python 2.7 with the python lib requests installed ( pip install requests // find the library directly into the OS's official repository // build it from the sources : http://www.python-requests.org/)
- Reports of it working on Python 2.6.6, however your mileage may vary and this is not supported.
Create the newrelic conf directory if it is not created yet
mkdir /etc/newrelic
Copy the config file into this directory
sudo cp agent-a0labs.cfg /etc/newrelic/
The python requests library is required:
pip install requests
If you chose to use a virtualenv, you may need to modify the example upstart/daemon scripts.
Fill the informations in the cfg file:
- License Key
- URL to access the stat CSV Haproxy's file
- user and password Optional:
- enable/disable logs and specify the directory
There are a few ways to be sure the plugin remains running as a Daemon or service, some are better than others - but each should be selected based on your need.
- use a nohup to launch it in background an detach it when you'll quit the terminal
- use a crontab like "@reboot /usr/bin/python /path/to/bin"
- put it in your /etc/init.d
- use upstart
./daemonize has some examples, you should read their comments before trying to use the scripts
Please useG Github issues for support.
