RE: New to HAproxy - how to define custom health-check msg?

I think there might be a better way, but you could run the check against a different port. On that other port, you could have it run your custom check and return an OK response if your check passes and fail if it doesn't.

Hi,  

I am planning to use HAproxy to load-balance my custom-service(Tcp Application) on Real-servers.

My service is not Http-based, hence option 'httpchk' would be not be replied by my App.

Just checking TCP-connection open is not sufficient.  

How can I define my custom "send-string" and "expected-string" using HA-proxy ??  

Any direction/pointers would be highly appreciated.
