We have added 2 new CLI utilities for making your lives easier when managing Varnish and HAProxy.

hypernode-vedit

As a shorthand, you can also use the alias vedit, which executes the same command.

haproxyctl

With haproxyctl you can run the following subcommands:

  • status – Shows the status of your HAProxy backends
  • drain – Drains a backends, this tells HAProxy to not send traffic to the specified backend
  • enable – Makes a backend available again, this tells HAProxy to send traffic to the specified backend again
