Hi,
You can use the haprox stats socket to get the current 'state'.
echo "show stat" | socat unix-connect:/var/run/haproxy.sock stdio
The output is plain text that you can easily parse.
For a more complete description of how the unix socket is used in
haproxy, go to the doc and look for "9.2. Unix Socket commands".
