mikoi

mikoi is a HAProxy's proxy protocol enabler for command line tools.

It is designed to work to monitor ProxyProtocol enabled server with usual monitoring plugins such as nagios-plugins and sensu-plugins.

In normal situation, existing monitoring plugins can not monitor ProxyProtocol enabled server without modifications.

mikoi launches a proxy server lisening to an ephemeral port (dynamically allocated port) and forks a plugin with passing the port number to let the pluging connect to that port.

mikoi adds a ProxyProtocol header to traffic comes from a plugin and proxies to real server.

$ mikoi \
  -P \
  -H smtp.example.com \
  -p 25 \
  -- /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_smtp -H 127.0.0.1 -p {} -w 0.5 -c 1.0

{} will be replaced with an ephemeral port that mikoi is listening to.

If you omit command line arguments for plugin, mikoi runs in proxy server mode:

$ mikoi -V -H smtp.example.com -p 25 -P
cmd args: []
mikoi is now running as proxy server mode
mikoi is now listening to 63568
mikoi is launching server

// You can connect to 63568 by any clients
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 63568
