How to set the maximum server response time (HAProxy)?

Question

HAproxy

HAProxy balances 2 web servers, how to set up a check of their health based on the maximum length of the response, that is, if for example server 1 does not respond within 5 seconds, then we do not select it (balancing method: round robin)?

Answer 1

Something like this, if I understand correctly:

backend backendname
balance roundrobin
option httpchk HEAD /status
http-check expect status 200
server server1name ip1:port check inter 5s fall 1 rise 5
server server2name ip2:port check inter 5s fall 1 rise 5
