I am trying to use **HAProxy** to proxy to Grafana with end point ‘/grafana’. For that I happened to change root\_url in my ini file to " root\_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:%(http\_port)s/grafana/ "

I tried to invoke Grafana endpoint with these settings

```auto
frontend HTTP-in
  use_backend grafana_backend if { path_beg /grafana/ }

```

```auto
backend grafana_backend
http-request set-path %[path,regsub(^/grafana/?,/)]

```

but those solutions do not seem to work for me with HAProxy.
