I’ve been locally compiling the HAProxy addon with USE\_PROMEX=1 with each release of IPFire for my own use and I’m sharing it here.

The addon can be found [here](https://github.com/lrdshaper/ipfire-pakfire/releases)

This let’s your Prometheus instance scrape HAProxy metrics and display them in Grafana using this [dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12693-haproxy/)

Follow this [guide](https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/haproxy-configuration-tutorials/alerts-and-monitoring/prometheus/) after installing the addon.

Hope someone finds this useful

Hello lrdshaper,

nice idea. Why not upstream your change and make it available to everyone?
