It sounds like you're working in multi-process mode (nbproc > 1). If so, this is the expected behavior since stats are per process. This was one of the drivers for the porting to threads. If for any reason you really want to stick to nbproc, then I'd recommend you to use one stats socket per process (use the "process" directive on each line) and to query both of them individually. But frankly this is painful as it may return conflicting server states during some transitions because the checks are per-process as well. You can replace "nbproc 2" with "nbthread 2" in your config, watch for warnings in case you'd already have a few explicit "process" entries, or even remove nbproc and nbthread to let haproxy start one thread per available core. Hoping this helps, Willy
