       address = "<private-ip-server-2>:<private-port-server-2>"
```

Configuring HTTP Services

Servers Load Balancer

The load balancers are able to load balance the requests between multiple instances of your programs.

Each service has a load-balancer, even if there is only one server to forward traffic to.

??? example "Declaring a Service with Two Servers (with Load Balancing) -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
        - url: "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]

    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```

Servers

Servers declare a single instance of your program.

The url option point to a specific instance.

??? example "A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
```

The weight option allows for weighted load balancing on the servers.

??? example "A Service with Two Servers with Weight -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
            weight: 2
          - url: "http://private-ip-server-2/"
            weight: 1

```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
      weight = 2
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-2/"
      weight = 1
```

The preservePath option allows to preserve the URL path.

!!! info "Health Check"

When a [health check](#health-check) is configured for the server, the path is not preserved.

??? example "A Service with One Server and PreservePath -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://private-ip-server-1/base"
            preservePath: true
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-1/base"
      preservePath = true
```

Load-balancing

For now, only round robin load balancing is supported:

??? example "Load Balancing -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
        - url: "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
    [[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      url = "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```

Sticky sessions

When sticky sessions are enabled, a Set-Cookie header is set on the initial response to let the client know which server handles the first response. On subsequent requests, to keep the session alive with the same server, the client should send the cookie with the value set.

!!! info "Stickiness on multiple levels"

When chaining or mixing load-balancers (e.g. a load-balancer of servers is one of the "children" of a load-balancer of services), for stickiness to work all the way, the option needs to be specified at all required levels. Which means the client needs to send a cookie with as many key/value pairs as there are sticky levels.

!!! info "Stickiness & Unhealthy Servers"

If the server specified in the cookie becomes unhealthy, the request will be forwarded to a new server (and the cookie will keep track of the new server).

!!! info "Cookie Name"

The default cookie name is an abbreviation of a sha1 (ex: `_1d52e`).

!!! info "MaxAge"

By default, the affinity cookie will never expire as the `MaxAge` option is set to zero.

This option indicates the number of seconds until the cookie expires.  
When set to a negative number, the cookie expires immediately.

!!! info "Secure & HTTPOnly & SameSite flags"

By default, the affinity cookie is created without those flags.
One however can change that through configuration.

`SameSite` can be `none`, `lax`, `strict` or empty.

??? example "Adding Stickiness -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        sticky:
         cookie: {}
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service]
    [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
```

??? example "Adding Stickiness with custom Options -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        sticky:
          cookie:
            name: my_sticky_cookie_name
            secure: true
            httpOnly: true
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.my-service]
    [http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
      name = "my_sticky_cookie_name"
      secure = true
      httpOnly = true
      sameSite = "none"
```

??? example "Setting Stickiness on all the required levels -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    wrr1:
      weighted:
        sticky:
          cookie:
            name: lvl1
        services:
          - name: whoami1
            weight: 1
          - name: whoami2
            weight: 1

    whoami1:
      loadBalancer:
        sticky:
          cookie:
            name: lvl2
        servers:
          - url: http://127.0.0.1:8081
          - url: http://127.0.0.1:8082

    whoami2:
      loadBalancer:
        sticky:
          cookie:
            name: lvl2
        servers:
          - url: http://127.0.0.1:8083
          - url: http://127.0.0.1:8084
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.wrr1]
    [http.services.wrr1.weighted.sticky.cookie]
      name = "lvl1"
    [[http.services.wrr1.weighted.services]]
      name = "whoami1"
      weight = 1
    [[http.services.wrr1.weighted.services]]
      name = "whoami2"
      weight = 1

  [http.services.whoami1]
    [http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer]
      [http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
        name = "lvl2"
      [[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.servers]]
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:8081"
      [[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.servers]]
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:8082"

  [http.services.whoami2]
    [http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer]
      [http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
        name = "lvl2"
      [[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.servers]]
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:8083"
      [[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.servers]]
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:8084"
```

To keep a session open with the same server, the client would then need to specify the two levels within the cookie for each request, e.g. with curl:

```
curl -b "lvl1=whoami1; lvl2=http://127.0.0.1:8081" http://localhost:8000
```

Health Check

Configure health check to remove unhealthy servers from the load balancing rotation. Traefik will consider HTTP(s) servers healthy as long as they return a status code to the health check request (carried out every interval) between 2XX and 3XX, or matching the configured status. For gRPC servers, Traefik will consider them healthy as long as they return SERVING to gRPC health check v1 requests.

To propagate status changes (e.g. all servers of this service are down) upwards, HealthCheck must also be enabled on the parent(s) of this service.

Below are the available options for the health check mechanism:

• path (required), defines the server URL path for the health check endpoint .
• scheme (optional), replaces the server URL scheme for the health check endpoint.
• mode (default: http), if defined to grpc, will use the gRPC health check protocol to probe the server.
• hostname (optional), sets the value of hostname in the Host header of the health check request.
• port (optional), replaces the server URL port for the health check endpoint.
• interval (default: 30s), defines the frequency of the health check calls.
• timeout (default: 5s), defines the maximum duration Traefik will wait for a health check request before considering the server unhealthy.
• headers (optional), defines custom headers to be sent to the health check endpoint.
• followRedirects (default: true), defines whether redirects should be followed during the health check calls.
• method (default: GET), defines the HTTP method that will be used while connecting to the endpoint.
• status (optional), defines the expected HTTP status code of the response to the health check request.

!!! info "Interval & Timeout Format"

Interval and timeout are to be given in a format understood by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration).

!!! info "Recovering Servers"

Traefik keeps monitoring the health of unhealthy servers.
If a server has recovered (returning `2xx` -> `3xx` responses again), it will be added back to the load balancer rotation pool.

!!! warning "Health check with Kubernetes"

Kubernetes has an health check mechanism to remove unhealthy pods from Kubernetes services (cf [readiness probe](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#define-readiness-probes)).
As unhealthy pods have no Kubernetes endpoints, Traefik will not forward traffic to them.
Therefore, Traefik health check is not available for `kubernetesCRD` and `kubernetesIngress` providers.

??? example "Custom Interval & Timeout -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"

        My-Custom-Header = "foo"
        My-Header = "bar"
```

Pass Host Header

The passHostHeader allows to forward client Host header to server.

By default, passHostHeader is true.

??? example "Don't forward the host header -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    Service01:
      loadBalancer:

  [http.services.Service01]
    [http.services.Service01.loadBalancer]
      passHostHeader = false
```

ServersTransport

serversTransport allows to reference an HTTP ServersTransport configuration for the communication between Traefik and your servers.

??? example "Specify an HTTP transport -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    Service01:

## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.Service01]
    [http.services.Service01.loadBalancer]
      serversTransport = "mytransport"
```

!!! info Default Servers Transport If no serversTransport is specified, the default@internal will be used. The default@internal serversTransport is created from the static configuration.

Response Forwarding

This section is about configuring how Traefik forwards the response from the backend server to the client.

Below are the available options for the Response Forwarding mechanism:

• FlushInterval specifies the interval in between flushes to the client while copying the response body. It is a duration in milliseconds, defaulting to 100. A negative value means to flush immediately after each write to the client. The FlushInterval is ignored when ReverseProxy recognizes a response as a streaming response; for such responses, writes are flushed to the client immediately.

??? example "Using a custom FlushInterval -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
  services:
    Service-1:
      loadBalancer:
        responseForwarding:
          flushInterval: 1s
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
  [http.services.Service-1]
    [http.services.Service-1.loadBalancer.responseForwarding]

spec:
  forwardingTimeouts:

forwardingTimeouts.readIdleTimeout

Optional, Default=0s

readIdleTimeout is the timeout after which a health check using ping frame will be carried out if no frame is received on the HTTP/2 connection. Note that a ping response will be considered a received frame, so if there is no other traffic on the connection, the health check will be performed every readIdleTimeout interval. If zero, no health check is performed.

Weighted Round Robin (service)

The WRR is able to load balance the requests between multiple services based on weights.

This strategy is only available to load balance between services and not between servers.

Health Check

HealthCheck enables automatic self-healthcheck for this service, i.e. whenever one of its children is reported as down, this service becomes aware of it, and takes it into account (i.e. it ignores the down child) when running the load-balancing algorithm. In addition, if the parent of this service also has HealthCheck enabled, this service reports to its parent any status change.

!!! info "All or nothing"

If HealthCheck is enabled for a given service, but any of its descendants does
not have it enabled, the creation of the service will fail.

HealthCheck on Weighted services can be defined currently only with the [File](../../providers/file.md) provider.

Mirroring (service)

The mirroring is able to mirror requests sent to a service to other services. Please note that by default the whole request is buffered in memory while it is being mirrored. See the maxBodySize option in the example below for how to modify this behaviour. You can also omit the request body by setting the mirrorBody option to false.

Failover (service)

A failover service job is to forward all requests to a fallback service when the main service becomes unreachable.

!!! info "Relation to HealthCheck"

The failover service relies on the HealthCheck system to get notified when its main service becomes unreachable,
which means HealthCheck needs to be enabled and functional on the main service.
However, HealthCheck does not need to be enabled on the failover service itself for it to be functional.
It is only required in order to propagate upwards the information when the failover itself becomes down
(i.e. both its main and its fallback are down too).

This strategy can currently only be defined with the [File](../../providers/file.md) provider.

Configuring TCP Services

General

Each of the fields of the service section represents a kind of service. Which means, that for each specified service, one of the fields, and only one, has to be enabled to define what kind of service is created. Currently, the two available kinds are LoadBalancer, and Weighted.

Servers Load Balancer

The servers load balancer is in charge of balancing the requests between the servers of the same service.

??? example "Declaring a Service with Two Servers -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
        - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
    [[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
       address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

Servers

Servers declare a single instance of your program.

address

The address option (IP:Port) point to a specific instance.

??? example "A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

tls

The tls determines whether to use TLS when dialing with the backend.

??? example "A Service with One Server Using TLS -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
            tls: true
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
      tls = true
```

ServersTransport

serversTransport allows to reference a TCP ServersTransport configuration for the communication between Traefik and your servers.

??? example "Specify a TCP transport -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    Service01:
      loadBalancer:
        serversTransport: mytransport
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.Service01]
    [tcp.services.Service01.loadBalancer]
      serversTransport = "mytransport"
```

!!! info "Default Servers Transport"

If no serversTransport is specified, the `default@internal` will be used.
The `default@internal` serversTransport is created from the [static configuration](../overview.md#tcp-servers-transports).

PROXY Protocol

Traefik supports PROXY Protocol version 1 and 2 on TCP Services. It can be enabled by setting proxyProtocol on the load balancer.

Below are the available options for the PROXY protocol:

• version specifies the version of the protocol to be used. Either 1 or 2.

!!! info "Version"

Specifying a version is optional. By default the version 2 will be used.

??? example "A Service with Proxy Protocol v1 -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        proxyProtocol:
          version: 1
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.proxyProtocol]
      version = 1
```

Termination Delay

!!! warning

Deprecated in favor of [`serversTransport.terminationDelay`](#terminationdelay).
Please note that if any `serversTransport` configuration on the servers load balancer is found,
it will take precedence over the servers load balancer `terminationDelay` value,
even if the `serversTransport.terminationDelay` is undefined.

As a proxy between a client and a server, it can happen that either side (e.g. client side) decides to terminate its writing capability on the connection (i.e. issuance of a FIN packet). The proxy needs to propagate that intent to the other side, and so when that happens, it also does the same on its connection with the other side (e.g. backend side).

However, if for some reason (bad implementation, or malicious intent) the other side does not eventually do the same as well, the connection would stay half-open, which would lock resources for however long.

To that end, as soon as the proxy enters this termination sequence, it sets a deadline on fully terminating the connections on both sides.

The termination delay controls that deadline. It is a duration in milliseconds, defaulting to 100. A negative value means an infinite deadline (i.e. the connection is never fully terminated by the proxy itself).

??? example "A Service with a termination delay -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        terminationDelay: 200
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
  [tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]]
      terminationDelay = 200
```

Weighted Round Robin

The Weighted Round Robin (alias WRR) load-balancer of services is in charge of balancing the requests between multiple services based on provided weights.

This strategy is only available to load balance between services and not between servers.

!!! info "Supported Providers"

This strategy can be defined currently with the [File](../../providers/file.md) or [IngressRoute](../../providers/kubernetes-crd.md) providers.

        address = "private-ip-server-2:8080/"

ServersTransport

ServersTransport allows to configure the transport between Traefik and your TCP servers.

dialTimeout

Optional, Default="30s"

dialTimeout defines the timeout when dialing the backend TCP service. If zero, no timeout exists.

## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  serversTransports:
    mytransport:
      dialTimeout: 30s

## Dynamic configuration

kind: ServersTransportTCP
metadata:
  name: mytransport
  namespace: default

spec:
  dialTimeout: 30s

dialKeepAlive

Optional, Default="15s"

dialKeepAlive defines the interval between keep-alive probes for an active network connection. If zero, keep-alive probes are sent with a default value (currently 15 seconds), if supported by the protocol and operating system. Network protocols or operating systems that do not support keep-alives ignore this field. If negative, keep-alive probes are disabled.

## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
  serversTransports:
    mytransport:
      dialKeepAlive: 30s

metadata:
  name: mytransport
  namespace: default

spec:
  dialKeepAlive: 30s

terminationDelay

Optional, Default="100ms"

As a proxy between a client and a server, it can happen that either side (e.g. client side) decides to terminate its writing capability on the connection (i.e. issuance of a FIN packet). The proxy needs to propagate that intent to the other side, and so when that happens, it also does the same on its connection with the other side (e.g. backend side).

However, if for some reason (bad implementation, or malicious intent) the other side does not eventually do the same as well, the connection would stay half-open, which would lock resources for however long.

To that end, as soon as the proxy enters this termination sequence, it sets a deadline on fully terminating the connections on both sides.

The termination delay controls that deadline. A negative value means an infinite deadline (i.e. the connection is never fully terminated by the proxy itself).

## Dynamic configuration

Configuring UDP Services

General

Each of the fields of the service section represents a kind of service. Which means, that for each specified service, one of the fields, and only one, has to be enabled to define what kind of service is created. Currently, the two available kinds are LoadBalancer, and Weighted.

Servers Load Balancer

The servers load balancer is in charge of balancing the requests between the servers of the same service.

??? example "Declaring a Service with Two Servers -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
udp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
        - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[udp.services]
  [udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
    [[udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

Servers

The Servers field defines all the servers that are part of this load-balancing group, i.e. each address (IP:Port) on which an instance of the service's program is deployed.

??? example "A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider"

```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
udp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[udp.services]
  [udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```

Weighted Round Robin

The Weighted Round Robin (alias WRR) load-balancer of services is in charge of balancing the requests between multiple services based on provided weights.

This strategy is only available to load balance between services and not between servers.

This strategy can only be defined with File.

## Dynamic configuration
udp:
  services:
    app:
      weighted:
        services:
        - name: appv1
          weight: 3
        - name: appv2
          weight: 1

    appv1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - address: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"

    appv2:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
        - address: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"

## Dynamic configuration
[udp.services]
  [udp.services.app]
    [[udp.services.app.weighted.services]]
      name = "appv1"
      weight = 3
    [[udp.services.app.weighted.services]]
      name = "appv2"
      weight = 1

  [udp.services.appv1]
    [udp.services.appv1.loadBalancer]
      [[udp.services.appv1.loadBalancer.servers]]
        address = "private-ip-server-1:8080/"

  [udp.services.appv2]
    [udp.services.appv2.loadBalancer]
      [[udp.services.appv2.loadBalancer.servers]]
        address = "private-ip-server-2:8080/"
