Overview

HAProxy Health Check for EXABGP

Installation / Usage

To install use pip:

$ pip install haproxy-health-check

Or clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/kaplun/haproxy-health-check.git
$ python setup.py install

Example

Use e.g. inside an EXABGP configuration such as:

# Check if the service is available to announce a route to
# it. Since the purpose is high availability, it is expected
# that another host is present with a similar
# configuration. IP address for the service is expected to be
# configured on the loopback interface. You can run the
# healthcheck process manually to check if it works as
# expected (-h flag will give you available options)
