Your configured the health check to HEAD request the file /keepAlive.txt on the server, and the server responds with 404 Not Found.

Fix the configuration on the server, or haproxy.

you should check if the file keepAlive.txt is available for the haproxy

If you don’t want HTTP health checks, just remove the “option httpchk” directive entirely. Otherwise you need to understand at least how to put a file on your backend server and serve it with a 200 OK message.

Hi Lukas,

So you mean to say If I remove below entry, nothing will happen to my rules.

option httpchk HEAD /keep.txt HTTP/1.0

It will only helpful to me Server health check.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks & Regards,
Vamsi

Yes, “option httpchk” only configures the http health check, which you seem to have so much trouble with.
