I've been told that HAProxy is able to show an admin page that allows users to bring up and down backends. As of right now, I have the following configuration in my haproxy file:
global log 127.0.0.1 local0 log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice maxconn 4096 #debug #quiet user haproxy group haproxy#/installs versiondefaults log global mode http retries 3 timeout client 3600s timeout connect 3600s timeout server 3600s option tcploglisten admin :9000 mode http stats enable stats show-node stats uri /adminlisten stats :9001 mode http log global maxconn 10 timeout client 3600s timeout server 3600s timeout connect 3600s timeout queue 3600s stats enable stats hide-version stats show-node stats uri /stats
This allows me to access a page on port 9000, but it looks identical to the stats page on port 9001. Is the admin page that was described to me possible with HAProxy 1.5.18?
I apologize for not having pictures of the page in question, but the services and servers fronted by haproxy are not mine, and I'm not comfortable sharking any information about them.
