Re: Balance based on network/cpu load

Hi Jessy,

We made an opensource feedback agent which you can use if you like,
it'll save you the need to make anything:

Another approach is to use agent-check from haproxy to query a sidecar process 
on the backend
servers. That sidecar process determines, based on various criteria, the load 
of the server and
instructs haproxy to either drain or reduce the percentage of traffic that it 
gets.

Hello,


Not sure if there is a direct way to do this, but you can always create 
a monitoring process that will use the haproxy runtime API to MAINT or 
DRAIN a server until the CPU / network load drops. So you have a simple 
watchdog process which reads the output from your monitoring tools to 
decide if a server needs to be disabled or re-enabled.



Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Hi there!

Is there a way that HAProxy 1.8 can balance based on the network or 
CPU load on the backend servers?
Let’s say, a backend server has 90% CPU usage, it gets out of the load 
balancing pool for a while until it gets stable.


Thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely,
