You can try, but it may do anything depending on your syslog server. Some accept those messages, some do truncate the lines, YMMV.

You can try. I'd argue that if we find a reliable way to increase log size in at least one config, we could then make the max size a config option in haproxy. Till now this has not really been the case.

We had a failure with the server (hard disk failed to respond), we had to power cycle it, so that can explain what you observed.
