disable agent

Stop sending health check probes to an agent program running on a server.

Description Jump to heading #

This command prevents new health checks from initiating until the agent is enabled again.

This is useful when you need to reconfigure the weight of a server without having the agent override it.

You must have an external health check agent running with the agent-check parameter in the server directive in the configuration file.

Examples Jump to heading #

Use the command disable agent with the name of the server on which you want to stop health checks temporarily.

nix
echo "disable agent be_servers/server1" | \
  sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999

nix
echo "disable agent be_servers/server1" | \
  sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
