What is HAProxy
What Is HAProxy?
HAProxy is a popular, open-source software load balancer. You’d put it in front of web servers or any other services that work over HTTP or TCP, so they can be reached in a round robin or a least-used fashion. HAProxy has other features useful in this context, such as rate limiting or handling authentication.
Since HAProxy is often the gateway to important services, you’ll want to know it’s healthy and performing well. With its wide collection of HAProxy metrics, Sematext Monitoring makes this easy and efficient.

- Get alerted before the number of sessions gets close to the limit
- Notice when CPU, network or swap get in the way of your service performance
- Get notified on abnormal number of errors or denied access
- Break down traffic, sessions and failures by frontends or backends to get to the source of errors/slowdowns faster

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
