Configure the HAProxy metrics stats page to enable monitoring your system devices by
viewing HAProxy metrics.

## Before you begin

Role required: agent_client_collector_admin

## About this task

HAProxy provides load balancing and reverse proxy capabilities for both HTTP and TCP
requests. The HAProxy checks remove backend servers that fail several health checks in a
row, and transfer incoming traffic to backend servers as part of load balancing.

## Procedure

1. Access the HAProxy configuration file, located at: /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg.
2. Add the following to the bottom of the file:  

       listen frontend *:8080       #Haproxy 
       Monitoring run on port 8080
       mode http
       option forwardfor
       option httpclose
       stats enable
       stats show-legends
       stats refresh 5s
       stats uri /stats        #URL for HAProxy monitoring
       stats realm Haproxy\Statistics.   #Title for pop up window
       stats auth admin:admin     #User and Password for login to the monitoring dashboard
       stats admin if TRUE
       default_backend backend       #This is optional for monitoring backend 

3. Run the following command to restart the HAProxy:  
   `sudo service
   haproxy restart`
4. View the HAProxy metrics on your system by viewing the HAProxy metrics stats page, accessible from the following URL:  
   http://\<HAProxyServer\>:8080/stats
{#configure-haproxy-metrics-stats-page__steps_tbt_dz1_35b}
