Visualize HAProxy Metrics with InfluxDB

This article discusses how to visualize HAProxy metrics with InfluxDB. It explains that HAProxy generates over a hundred metrics to provide a nearly real-time view of load balancers and the services they proxy, but these data points need to be turned into time series data for effective visualization. The article then walks through all the steps necessary to get HAProxy metrics displayed in InfluxDB using Telegraf, an open-source server agent with over 200 input plugins written as a standalone Go binary with a minimal memory footprint. It also mentions that InfluxData has created a comprehensive dashboard template for easy installation and use.
