Re: Logging Connections

Hi Alexander,

I changed my haproxy.cfg file to be the following, and send some requests on port 81. The proxy worked fine, but haproxy did not log anything to /var/log/haproxy.log, which is where I set local0 to log to in the syslog.cfg config file. I can write to the file with:

logger -p local0.debug Mymessage

But nothing shows up

----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ global

    daemon
    quiet
    nbproc 2
    pidfile /var/run/haproxy-private.pid

defaults

    log xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx local0 debug     mode http
    option httplog
    option dontlognull
    retries 3
    redispatch
    maxconn 2000
    contimeout 5000
    clitimeout 50000
    srvtimeout 50000

listen http_proxy_gisvote :81

    balance roundrobin
    server aws_1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+

Here's the line I added to syslog.conf:

----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
local0.*                        -/var/log/haproxy.log
----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+

Any further advice?
