# HAProxy integration

The HAProxy integration provides **load balancer monitoring** at every layer: frontend, backend, and individual servers. HAProxy sits in front of your applications and distributes traffic, so when it’s unhealthy, everything behind it suffers.

|                    |                                                                        |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring traffic distribution, backend health, and capacity          |
| **Under the hood** | Scrapes HAProxy’s built-in Prometheus exporter (HAProxy 2.x and later) |

## Metrics collected

The integration collects metrics at every layer of the load balancer:

- **Frontend**: Connections, requests, bytes
- **Backend**: Server count, queue depth, response time
- **Server**: Up/down, connections, and health checks. A failing health check can show a down server before users notice.
- **Sessions**: Current, limit, rate

## What to know

This integration offers:

- Prebuilt dashboards: overview, frontend, backend, server
- Prebuilt alerts: dropped logs, flapping health checks
- Health check visibility
