HAProxy

HAProxy Runtime API

The HAProxy Runtime API (formerly known as the stats socket) is a socket-based interface for dynamically managing HAProxy at runtime. It allows operators to enable or disable servers, adjust weights, inspect stick tables, view statistics, and perform other live configuration changes without reloading the process. Its native transport is a UNIX socket or a TCP/IP socket, not HTTP; the baseURL recorded here is the HTTP passthrough the Data Plane API exposes for 26 of these operations under /v3/services/haproxy/runtime.
