We are using haproxy to load balance websocket connection to 4 node.js servers.
However we notice in prod unlink dev when we close the websocket (client refreshes pages or exits the browser etc)
The websocket is dropped between the client and the LB but is not dropped between the LB and the node.
Am i missing some kind of configuration?
I can't share the whole config file but here are some defaults:
defaults
log global
mode http
option httplog
option dontlognull
option log-health-checks
retries 3
option redispatch
option httpclose
maxconn 3000
timeout connect 5000
timeout client 50000
timeout server 50000
timeout tarpit 1000
SOLVED
adding
timeout http-keep-alive 300s
http-close-server

We are trying to configure our Socket.io socket servers behind HAProxy and over HAProxy we are using Google Cloud Load Balancer, so that HAProxy is not the single point of failure. As mentioned in this post by https://medium.com/google-cloud/highly-available-websockets-on-google-cloud-c74b35ee20bc#.o6xxj5br8. Also depicted in the picture below.
At the Google cloud load balancer we are using TCP Load balancing with SSL Proxy with Proxy Protocol ON.
The HAProxy is configured to use Cookies so that a client always connects to the same server. However since cookies might not be available on all our clients system, we decided to use load balancing algorithm as source in HAProxy. Here is the HAProxy configuration

This is however giving connection errors on around 5% of our clients as compared to our old single server system. Any suggestions?
Edit: Connection errors means that the client was not able to connect to the socket server and the socket.io client was throwing connection errors.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to loadbalance socket.io requests using HAProxy. The following is my configuration:

server node2 172.14.2.28:8887 cookie node2 weight 1 maxconn 1024 check
This configuration gives timeout when I try to create socket connection.
However, if I delete either on of the last two lines [server node1 172.14.2.25:8887 cookie node1 weight 1 maxconn 1024 check or server node2 172.14.2.28:8887 cookie node2 weight 1 maxconn 1024 check], the socket connects properly.
I do not understand what is wrong with the configuration. Any help will be highly appreciated.
TIA :)
In the configuration of backend socket-servers, I had to change balance roundrobin to balance source. That worked! :)
I use haproxy as banlancer for mariadb galera cluster,
it can connect and do some operation normally,but after serval seconds I want to do some search again but a got lost connection during query error.see the error below image.

Does anyone have idea?
I think i find the reason.Haproxy itself has a timeout for server and client,I set the sever timeout and client timeout as same as mysql timeout which is 8 hour.Now it seems like this:
defaults
log global
mode tcp
option tcplog
option dontlognull
option http-server-close
option redispatch
retries 3
timeout http-request 10s
timeout queue 1m
timeout connect 10s
timeout client 480m
timeout server 480m
timeout http-keep-alive 10s
timeout check 10s
maxconn 3000
Hope can help others.
however i use mariadb cluster,it is master and mater
architecture,all of node can insert,so I changed the haproxy.cfg,now it seems like this:
# Global settings

I need to improve the performance of an haproxy 1.5 running as a load balancer in an Ubuntu 14.04 instance. I have an analytics like code on many sites and for every pageview the client asks between 2-5 diferent scrips of ours. The other day we received more than 1k requests per second on the load balancer and it started to run really slow. It reached the active sessions limit 2000 at a rate for 1000 per second. On the configuration we use option http-keep-alive 100 to maintain the connection open for 100 ms until it is closed. How can we improve this? What is the best config for this use case? I may be loosing many details here please ask for them is there is info missing.
EDIT
Here are some details:
I'm running an AWS ubuntu 14.04 server in a c3.xlarge virtual machine. There we use haproxy 1.5 to load balance web traffic between several app instances. (Every app has its own haproxy to load balance between its own app instances - deployed one per core).
The server only has haproxy and no other software installed.
The bottleneck as per haproxy stat page is the front end load balancer as at that moment it had a session rate of 258 and current sessions of 2000 (being 2000 the max), and all the apps had a 96 sessions rate and 0/1 as the current sessions. I would post image but because of my reputation points I can't do that.
This was the configuration at that point in time:
global
maxconn 18000
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
stats timeout 30s
user haproxy

The connections were very high, it seems like it was closing them (or closing at a really low rate).
CPU and memory usage was really low.
Now we changed that config for the following one and it's working without problems:
global
maxconn 64000

server app3 10.0.0.3:80 check maxconn 100
However all connections are being closed on the return (and we have the same rate of sessions and requests).
This is not good also because we have to open a new connection for every client request (and we have 3/4 requests per client).
How can we achieve a good keep-alive (like 100ms I think could work), without hitting the max connections limit?
Thanks.
The number you give are very very low.
Please give more details about your architecture, type of server, third party software running on it (such as iptables), also share your configuration.

I have 2 HAProxys that are load balancing user requests with roundrobin algorithm successfully to my 2 WebServers.
When a webserver fails, HAProxy sends the request to the next available server, but for some reason I'm not able to keep the user session, and therefore information isn't displayed properly.
How can I make it so the session is saved during a failover?
Here's my haproxy.cfg:
global
log 127.0.0.1 local0
log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice
maxconn 2000
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
defaults
log global
mode http
option httplog
option dontlognull
retries 3
option redispatch
timeout connect 5000
timeout client 10000
timeout server 1000
listen app 192.168.1.100:80
mode http
stats enable
stats uri /haproxy?stats
stats realm Strictly\ Private
stats auth admin:admin
balance roundrobin
cookie LSW_WEB insert
option httpclose
option forwardfor
option httpchk HEAD / HTTP/1.0
server server1 192.168.1.93:80 cookie LSW_WEB01 check
server server2 192.168.1.94:80 cookie LSW_WEB02 check
This has to do with how you share sessions between your servers not with haproxy itself.
The problem lies in your application or how you are storing sessions.
