+set server <backend>/<server> agent [ up | down ]
+  Force a server's agent to a new state. This can be useful to immediately
+  switch a server's state regardless of some slow agent checks for example.
+  Note that the change is propagated to tracking servers if any.

+set server <backend>/<server> health [ up | stopping | down ]
+  Force a server's health to a new state. This can be useful to immediately
+  switch a server's state regardless of some slow health checks for example.
+  Note that the change is propagated to tracking servers if any.
+
+set server <backend>/<server> state [ ready | drain | maint ]
+  Force a server's administrative state to a new state. This can be useful to
+  disable load balancing and/or any traffic to a server. Setting the state to
+  "ready" puts the server in normal mode, and the command is the equivalent of
+  the "enable server" command. Setting the state to "maint" disables any traffic
+  to the server as well as any health checks. This is the equivalent of the
+  "disable server" command. Setting the mode to "drain" only removes the server
+  from load balancing but still allows it to be checked and to accept new
+  persistent connections. Changes are propagated to tracking servers if any.
+
+set server <backend>/<server> weight <weight>[%]
+  Change a server's weight to the value passed in argument. This is the exact
+  equivalent of the "set weight" command below.
+
 set table <table> key <key> [data.<data_type> <value>]*
   Create or update a stick-table entry in the table. If the key is not present,
   an entry is inserted. See stick-table in section 4.2 to find all possible
