[SOLVED] Re: haproxy and healthcheck where is IF condition ?

[netbja]

Hi all,

Just to clarify or understand this haproxy (2.2) implementation.
I have just created an OPNsense cluster for my customer with haproxy plugin for load balancing Exchange 2016 servers.

Here is an partial output from /usr/local/etc/haproxy.conf file.

Code: [Select]

# Backend: bk_exchange_owa (Exchange Backend OWA)
backend bk_exchange_owa
    # health check: hc_owa
    option httpchk GET /owa/HealthCheck.htm
    http-check expect status 200\ OK

As you can see, I have #health check: hc_owa commented but no trace in the haproxy.conf with acl or use_backend :

We should have this lines in haproxy.conf.

Code: [Select]

acl path_owa path_beg -i /owa/and

Code: [Select]

use_backend bk_exchange_owa if path_owa
Is it a bug ?

Thank you for your help.

You're confusing health checks with ACLs. A health check does not involve an if-clause.

We should have this lines in haproxy.conf.

Code: [Select]

acl path_owa path_beg -i /owa/and

Code: [Select]

use_backend bk_exchange_owa if path_owa

You need to create a ACL for this. In our HAProxy plugin version 2.0 (and later) there is a two-step approach to creating a ACL:

# Go to "Rules & Checks" and create a "Condition"
# Go to "Rules & Checks" and create a "Rule" that utilizes the previously created "Condition"

Next you'll need to add this "Rule" to either your frontend ("Public Service") or backend ("Backend Pool").

Hello Franck,

You are right but did you try what you are saying ?

Sure I made Conditions and Rules  in "Rules & Checks" but the configuration file haproxy.conf does not contain any Conditions and any Rules.

So is it a bug ?

Thank you.

Yes, I'm using multiple versions of the HAProxy plugin in production.

Sure I made Conditions and Rules  in "Rules & Checks" but the configuration file haproxy.conf does not contain any Conditions and any Rules.

So is it a bug ?

Please provide screenshots of your configuration, or even better, a backup of your config.xml (only the HAProxy tag).

Thank you.

Finaly I understand where I can put my ACL in FrontEnd, but it's a little bit more tricky than a txt file with native haproxy.

Cheers.
