I have setup HAProxy 1.6.2 on a distributed setup and ran several workloads to test the load balancer. I used HATop and the inbuilt stat web page to check on the number of requests in the queue. Even though I had requests more than the maximum connections, I didn’t see the number for qcur change.
I’m pretty sure, the workload is enough to create a queue, but for some reason I am not able to do so. Any insight/help on this is much appreciated.

Hi,
Do you mean qcur is always 0?

Yes. I want to get some requests queued during a workload test.

Simply reduce drastically the server’s maxconn to a very low value. Even 1 if required.

Yes. I tried that, even then I couldn’t see any change in the QCUR value. Any configurations that need to be done?

Try increasing your frontend’s maxconn to 1000
