I don’t see what’s different in haproxy 1.7 compared to 1.4; you need [stats admin](https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4.2-stats%20admin) mode in both. Can you share you configuration please?

Hello  
Thks for your response, the config is pretty simple:

global  
log /dev/log local0  
log /dev/log local1 notice  
chroot /var/lib/haproxy  
stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin  
stats timeout 30s  
user haproxy  
group haproxy  
daemon

```

Only 2 http nodes, after I’ll need to know how to balance two https servers (forward only)

Just like I suspected, you did not configure admin mode. Please refer to my previous post where you can find a link to the documentation explaining it.
