Just a quick update on our Windows Feedback Agent-Check for HAProxy

[Malcolm Turnbull]

Hi,

I'm not sure how many people use the feedback functionality in HAProxy?
But I just wanted let anyone interested know that we've written a new
version (and why).

The HAProxy server feedback mechanism is compatible with the
LVS/Ldirectord one (also open source).

With our previous open source Windows-based agent we had some annoying
performance issues under load (Windows WMI library etc.).
The new GO agent is MUCH faster, so we're very happy with it.

We keep this (somewhat messy) blog updated with information about the
windows feedback agent:
https://www.loadbalancer.org/blog/open-source-windows-service-for-reporting-server-load-back-to-haproxy-load-balancer-feedback-agent/

All the source code for both versions is available on Github:
NEW:
https://github.com/loadbalancer-org/go-feedback-agent
OLD:
https://github.com/loadbalancer-org/windows_feedback_agent

Most of our Linux users just build a custom agent by hand (it's not hard...),
I've heard of Herald:

Does anyone know of any other options for server-side agents?


Thanks,
