HAProxy Enterprise Documentation 2.0r1

Overview

The HAProxy Runtime API is built into the load balancer as a way to view and change its behavior without needing to reload the process. The HAProxy Data Plane API invokes Runtime API methods for some features to avoid a reload.

Key points

Key points to remember when using the Runtime API include:

  • Change are made in running memory only and do not persist if HAProxy Enterprise is reloaded or restarted.

  • The API can be accessed over a UNIX socket or a TCP/IP address.

  • You can execute commands ad hoc or, when using the UNIX socket, start an interactive session.
