Hello, I have tracked this down to the new authentication method used in MySQL 5.6 since version 5.6.6.
Verify this for the user you specified in option mysql-check: select plugin from mysql.user where user='monitor' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** plugin: sha256_password 1 row in set (0.00 sec) If you see sha256_password, it won't work. Since password authentication is not used in health checks by HAproxy, you can just create a new user that is not using this kind of authentication to be used by the HAproxy: CREATE USER monitor@<haproxy_ip> IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password'; Verify it is working by doing: select plugin from mysql.user where user='monitor' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** plugin: mysql_native_password 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Let me know if this fixes the issue.
