option external-check
Use external processes for server health checks
May be used in the following contexts: tcp, http, log
May be used in sections : defaults | frontend | listen | backend
yes | no | yes | yes
It is possible to test the health of a server using an external command.
This is achieved by running the executable set using "external-check
command".
Requires the "external-check" global to be set.

option idle-close-on-response
no option idle-close-on-response
Avoid closing idle frontend connections if a soft stop is in progress
May be used in the following contexts: http
May be used in sections : defaults | frontend | listen | backend
yes | yes | yes | no
Arguments : none
By default, idle connections will be closed during a soft stop. In some
environments, a client talking to the proxy may have prepared some idle
connections in order to send requests later. If there is no proper retry on
write errors, this can result in errors while haproxy is reloading. Even
though a proper implementation should retry on connection/write errors, this
option was introduced to support backwards compatibility with haproxy prior
to version 2.4. Indeed before v2.4, haproxy used to wait for a last request
and response to add a "connection: close" header before closing, thus
notifying the client that the connection would not be reusable.
In a real life example, this behavior was seen in AWS using the ALB in front
of a haproxy. The end result was ALB sending 502 during haproxy reloads.
Users are warned that using this option may increase the number of old
processes if connections remain idle for too long. Adjusting the client
timeouts and/or the "hard-stop-after" parameter accordingly might be
needed in case of frequent reloads.
