Snapt aims to make performing routine tasks as simple as possible and adding groups and servers to your HAProxy setup might just be one of them.

Groups are a simplified way of looking at the “listening” parameters in HAProxy and within each group you would find the servers that you are load balancing. The process of adding these groups and servers is made easy by using a step based approach. The first thing to do would be configuring the parameters of the group. These parameters include balancing methods, timeouts, protocol testing and more.

Each group you add should contain servers that will perform the task being load balanced. This process is also step based allowing you to quickly add servers to your groups. Like groups, servers have many options available to them; Snapt helps you out by grouping these options into 3 different categories – “Standard Options”, “Health Checks” and “Performance”.
