External Health Check CURL

Help!
1

I have created an external healthcheck within a bash script but the server doesn’t come up… I know it works as it will return ‘200’ when I run it manually:

RESP=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w “%{http_code}” --ntlm -H ‘Host: ‘${CHECK_HOST}’’ http://${SERVERIP}/ -u ${USER}:${PASSWD})
echo $RESP

if [ $RESP == 200 ]
then

Server is Healthy.

    exit 0

else

Server is NOT Healthy.

    exit 1

Two things, HAProxy’s path is not your path when you test the script, so either explicitly set your path in your bash script:

PATH=$PATH

Or in HAProxy.

The other thing is to make sure that your script exits clean(no output), I’ve seen HAProxy in the past get freaked out by output. Make it silent.
