Add HAProxy instances to Citrix ADM

In Citrix Application Delivery Management (Citrix ADM), you need to manually add the details of the host on which you have provisioned the HAProxy instance. After you add those details, Citrix ADM automatically discovers the HAProxy instances provisioned on the host and adds them to Citrix ADM Inventory. It also discovers all the front ends, back ends, and servers configured on the HAProxy instances, and treats the front ends as discovered applications.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have:

  • Deployed an HAProxy instance on a host in your deployment. For more information, see http://www.haproxy.org/#docs.
  • Identified and decided on the number of front ends for which you want to view the application statistics on the HAProxy App Dashboard. By default, the HAProxy App Dashboard displays the statistics for 30 discovered applications. For more information about HAProxy App Dashboard, see HAProxy App Dashboard. If you want to view the statistics of more than 30 discovered applications, you must purchase a separate license. For more information, see Third-Party Licensing.

Important

Citrix ADM requires access to the host to discover the HAProxy instances in it. You can provide access to Citrix ADM by either providing the SSH key pair of the host or by using the host password. If you want to provide access using the SSH key pair, make sure that you generate the SSH private and public key pair in the host and add the public key to the authorized keys on the host. Also, the SSH user account must have superuser permissions.

To add an HAProxy instance to Citrix ADM:

  1. Navigate to Networks > Instances. Under Instances, select HAProxy and click Add.

  2. In the Add HAProxy Host dialog box, do the following:

  1. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the host on which you have provisioned the HAProxy instances.
