HAProxy Available Next Month is a post from Snapt

An ACL is a rule used to determine what action is required based on the incoming request. They can also be used to monitor backends or block the request all together. Having said that, the combination of conditionals within the ACL can become tricky and a fool proof method of managing them is required to get the most out of your HAProxy server.

SnaptHA treats ACLs as objects; you create an ACL and attach it to any number of required frontends. HAProxy ships with a set of predefined ACL’s that can be used such as HTTP, FALSE, TRUE, METH_CONNECT and many more depending on your version of HAProxy. These predefined ACLs are also available to be used in the same fashion as your own custom one.

Creating the ACL is made simple by a step based wizard. You can opt to either create your own ACL or select from a list of ACL templates – our version of predefined ACLs that ship with SnaptHA.

Once an ACL has been created it can be attached to your configured frontends along with the actions to be taken on that ACL.

It’s as simple as that, and the good news is that SnaptHA is able to import most existing ACLs making the integration process that much easier!

To do that, we had to write a more sophisticated cron – with abilities like “once off” or temporary tasks, that after running successfully are removed. We’ve also introduced load limits and retries – so a task can be set to only run when the unit is not heavily loaded.

Having done all of that, we thought why not give the user that ability; for free. And so was born a new, free plugin named “Snapt Cron”. Below is a screenshot of adding an example cron entry where it will reboot at night, and remove the cron task.

Snapt Cron is available with any Snapt Framework installation (e.g. Snapt HAProxy, Snapt Squid). If you would like to be notified when the product is available officially, please use our release notification list.

We aim to make open source as easy and as powerful as it can be, while keeping the complexities of managing it and supporting it away from you, while providing corporate level support.

Snapt comes free with an optional backup plugin that will save any Snapt configurations, and the configurations for any Snapt modules you have. In the screenshot below, you can see we automatically take a daily backup of our Snapt installation as well as our HAProxy config file.

The files can be stored on disk or emailed, and the configuration can be restored automatically after a failure by the Snapt Backup plugin. This is available free to all Snapt clients, as one of the optional plugins.

We will also be offering our beta testers initial discounts on the product. Currently, only Snapt HAProxy is available for testing and only for Ubuntu, Fedora/Redhat and FreeBSD.
