hatop issue

[Gribouillis]

If I understand the question well, you want to read the paths to the sockets in an external file. You can use a configuration file for this and the configparser module

Output:
# configuration-file.ini

[spam]
sockets: /var/run/haproxy-main-hello.sock
    /var/run/haproxy-main-hello1.sock

Your program

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('configuration-file.ini')
sockets = config.get('spam', 'sockets').split('\n')
