Examples Jump to heading #

In the example below, the backend has two servers, each with an assigned weight of 100:

haproxy
backend be_servers
  server server1 127.0.0.1:8080 check weight 100
  server server2 127.0.0.1:8081 check weight 100

haproxy
backend be_servers
  server server1 127.0.0.1:8080 check weight 100
  server server2 127.0.0.1:8081 check weight 100

The get weight command displays the current weight of a given server and its initial value in parentheses.

The current value may have changed if the set weight command was called:

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

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

output

100 (initial 100)
