Installation

The project is on PyPI so installation is a simple pip command:

pip install collectd-haproxy

To install manually, first download the current tarball at collectd-haproxy-1.2.1.tar.gz then:

tar -zxvf collectd-haproxy-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd collectd-haproxy-1.2.1
python setup.py install

Note

If collectd is running with a virtualenv activated (under an isolated supervisord setup, for instance) make sure the collectd-haproxy package is installed and available in the virtualenv’s module path or collectd will run into an ImportError.

In order to function properly, the local HAProxy instance will need to have the “stats socket” enabled, details about how to do that can be found here.

Configuration

The most basic configuration is to specify where the HAProxy socket file is located:

LoadPlugin "python"

<Plugin python>
    Import "collectd_haproxy"

    <Module haproxy>
      Socket "/var/run/haproxy.sock"
    </Module>
</Plugin>

For details on all of the options available, see the Configuration docs.
