RE: Cacti templates -- bounty?

Hi,

I've attached the templates I've built for monitoring backends and frontends of haproxy.

To install these, you will need to copy the XML files from the contrib/ directory of the haproxy distribution into a directory that Cacti can reach, and edit the Data Queries "HaProxy Backends" and "HAProxy Frontends" accordingly (the "XML Path" field. It's also dependant on having a version of net-snmp that supports embedded Perl, and including the "perl do 'path_to_haproxy.pl';" directive in your snmpd.conf file.

As for what is created:

• For the devices, you have two new data queries to choose from, they can be added from the Devices page for each device, at the very end in the drop-down box, then click "Add". The data queries are called "HaProxy Backends" and "HAProxy Frontends".
• From "HaProxy Backends": in the new graphs page, you can choose which backend to graph, and create one of two graphs:
  • Haproxy backend traffic: ingress and egress bytes.
  • Haproxy backend sessions: total sessions with _reponse_ errors.
• From "HAProxy Frontends": in the new graphs page again, you can choose which frontend to graph, which will include aggregated data for the backends behind it, obviously. You can create one of two graphs:
  • Haproxy frontend traffic: ingress and egress bytes.
  • Haproxy frontend sessions: total sessions with _request_ errors.

In the graphs and data sources, limits are set to reasonably high values to support up to nearly 10G traffic, and up to 10000 concurrent connections.
