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)
Contents
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.

Bump version in haproxytool/__init__.py
Commit above change with:
git commit -av -m'RELEASE 0.1.3 version'
Create a signed tag, pbr will use this for the version number:
git tag -s 0.1.3 -m 'bump release'
Create the source distribution archive (the archive will be placed in the dist directory):
python setup.py sdist
pbr updates ChangeLog file and we want to squeeze this change to the previous commit, thus run:
git commit -av --amend
Move current tag to the last commit:
git tag -fs 0.1.3 -m 'bump release'
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
