If you receive this alert in a critical state, it means that one or more HAProxy backends are inaccessible or offline. + +HAProxy is a reverse-proxy that provides high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. A backend in HAProxy is a set of servers that receive forwarded requests and are defined in the backend section of the configuration. + +### Troubleshoot the alert + +- Check the HAProxy configuration file for errors + + Making changes in the configuration file may introduce errors.
