How can HAProxy report / aggregate back-ends statuses into one judging on their number (2 out of 3 lets say)

Help!

Hello

is there a way to aggregate all backends into one status judging based on their statuses?

eg: i have 5 backends, and if 3 out of 5 are down than i want to report a single state as down. Same if 1 is down and 4 are up and status shows UP for the backend.

Thank you

Hello

Can someone help on this?

Clarify what you mean by “single status”?

Do you mean you want to disable a backend completely / show an error, when the amount of backend servers is lower than a certain number?

Hello

I do not want to disable (but if that is possible please let me know) but show Error or DOWN state when the amount is lower than a certain number as you say.
As stated i want to aggregate my back end statuses and not remove them. Meaning to report a single status of them:

eg: I have 5 backend nodes. If 3 of those nodes are down i want to report on the stats that all my backend is down. So i want to combine my backend statuses based on the http check i am doing into a single one.

You can use the nbsrv variable to do all kind’s of things, based on the number of available backend servers.

Like failing a certain monitor uri, or switching to a different backend.

What you cannot do is to fake the actual stats.

monitor fall seems not to be applicable for backend.

May i ask for some config about it?

This is my backend (4 nodes), so should it get it set up?

backend TEST
listen HAproxy_Test
bind XX.XXX.XX.XX:80 v4v6
maxconn 12500
timeout client 6000
timeout server 6000
timeout connect 5000
timeout check 1000
balance roundrobin
option httpchk
option forwardfor
option log-health-checks
mode http
stats enable
option httpchk GET <------------->nAuthorization:\ Basic\ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
http-check expect string YYY
server GGGGGGGGG.com PP.PP.PPP.PP:8007 check verify none
server GGGGGGGGG.com PP.PP.PPP.PP:8007 check verify none
server GGGGGGGGG.com PP.PP.PPP.PP:8007 check verify none
server GGGGGGGGG.com PP.PP.PPP.PP:8007 check verify none

No, monitor uri/fall has a specific use-case, which may or may not be applicable to your case, which I still don’t really understand.

Like I said, you cannot fake your own stats.
