As of 2.0.0, HAProxy includes a Prometheus exporter module that can be built into your binary during build time.
To build with the official Prometheus exporter module, make with the following EXTRA_OBJS flag:
make TARGET=linux-glibc EXTRA_OBJS="contrib/prometheus-exporter/service-prometheus.o"Once built, you can enable and configure the Prometheus endpoint from your haproxy.cfg file as a typical frontend:
frontend stats
bind *:8404
option http-use-htx
http-request use-service prometheus-exporter if { path /metrics }
stats enable
stats uri /stats
stats refresh 10sPut the configuration above in the HAProxy configuration file and then restart the HAProxy service and then go to the following URL
