haproxytool

A tool to manage HAProxy via stats socket.

It uses haproxyadmin Python library to interact with HAProxy and run all commands. One of the main feature is that can work with HAProxy in multi-process mode (nbproc > 1)

The command line interface tries to be friendly and compatible with the rest of the tools available in the Linux land. The docopt Python module is used to build the CLI interface.

Here is the basic syntax to start with:

% haproxytool
Usage: haproxytool [-v | -h] <command> [<args>...]

% haproxytool -h
A tool to manage HAProxy via the stats socket.

Usage: haproxytool [-v | -h] <command> [<args>...]

Options:
-h, --help                show this screen.
-v, --version             show version.

Available haproxytool commands are:
    haproxy   HAProxy operations
    frontend  Frontend operations
    backend   Backend operations
    server    Server operations
    dump      Dumps all informations
    map       Manage MAPs
    acl       Manage ACLs

See 'haproxytool help <command>' for more information on a specific command.

Keep reading for more details about each command.

  1. Bump version in haproxytool/__init__.py

  2. Commit above change with:

    git commit -av -m'RELEASE 0.1.3 version'
    
  3. Create a signed tag, pbr will use this for the version number:

    git tag -s 0.1.3 -m 'bump release'
    
  4. Create the source distribution archive (the archive will be placed in the dist directory):

    python setup.py sdist
    
  5. pbr updates ChangeLog file and we want to squeeze this change to the previous commit, thus run:

    git commit -av --amend
    
  6. Move current tag to the last commit:

    git tag -fs 0.1.3 -m 'bump release'
    
  7. Push changes:

    git push;git push --tags
    

Use pip:

pip install haproxytool

From Source:

python setup.py install

Build (source) RPMs:

python setup.py clean --all; python setup.py bdist_rpm

Build a source archive for manual installation:

python setup.py sdist
