Using backup but I want disable persistence on failback

Help!
1

Hello

I’m looking to use Haproxy backup on a series of RabbitMQ clusters, I have it working, all except for when the primary cluster returns… On failback the connections still on the backup cluster persist (causing a split brain).

Is there away to force connections to close (on the backup) if there is a failback (to primary)?

Or even if there is a way to stop a failback (auto back to primary on recovery) occur unless the service is restarted?

I’ve been through lots of docs, but all I can find it stuff saying, ‘yes it will persist’. If I can’t get this functionality the solution is a no go.

Thank you

ok I just tried,
non-stick

tested and didn’t work

You’ll need to share the output of haproxy -vv and the entire configuration.

What you are looking for is probably on-marked-up for the backup server.

on-marked-up shutdown-backup-sessions on the primary servers should work just fine in this case.
