haproxy – Enable, disable, and set weights for HAProxy backend servers using socket commands
Synopsis
- Enable, disable, drain and set weights for HAProxy backend servers using socket commands.
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
backend string | Name of the HAProxy backend pool. If this parameter is unset, it will be auto-detected. | |
drain boolean added in 2.4 |
| Wait until the server has no active connections or until the timeout determined by wait_interval and wait_retries is reached. Continue only after the status changes to 'MAINT'. This overrides the shutdown_sessions option. |
fail_on_not_found boolean |
| Fail whenever trying to enable/disable a backend host that does not exist |
host string / required | Name of the backend host to change. | |
shutdown_sessions boolean |
| When disabling a server, immediately terminate all the sessions attached to the specified server. This can be used to terminate long-running sessions after a server is put into maintenance mode. Overridden by the drain option. |
socket path | Default: "/var/run/haproxy.sock" | Path to the HAProxy socket file. |
state string / required |
| Desired state of the provided backend host. Note that drain state was added in version 2.4.It is supported only by HAProxy version 1.5 or later, When used on versions < 1.5, it will be ignored. |
wait boolean |
| Wait until the server reports a status of 'UP' when state=enabled , status of 'MAINT' when state=disabled or status of 'DRAIN' when state=drain
|
wait_interval integer | Default: 5 | Number of seconds to wait between retries. |
wait_retries integer | Default: 25 | Number of times to check for status after changing the state. |
weight string | The value passed in argument. If the value ends with the `%` sign, then the new weight will be relative to the initially configured weight. Relative weights are only permitted between 0 and 100% and absolute weights are permitted between 0 and 256. |
Notes
Note
- Enable, disable and drain commands are restricted and can only be issued on sockets configured for level ‘admin’. For example, you can add the line ‘stats socket /var/run/haproxy.sock level admin’ to the general section of haproxy.cfg. See http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/configuration.txt.
- Depends on netcat (nc) being available; you need to install the appropriate package for your operating system before this module can be used.
Examples
- name: Disable server in 'www' backend pool
haproxy:
state: disabled
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
backend: www
- name: Disable server without backend pool name (apply to all available backend pool)
haproxy:
state: disabled
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
- name: Disable server, provide socket file
haproxy:
state: disabled
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
socket: /var/run/haproxy.sock
backend: www
- name: Disable server, provide socket file, wait until status reports in maintenance
haproxy:
state: disabled
host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
socket: /var/run/haproxy.sock
backend: www
wait: yes
# Place server in drain mode, providing a socket file. Then check the server's
# status every minute to see if it changes to maintenance mode, continuing if it
# does in an hour and failing otherwise.
- haproxy:
