Log

HAProxy uses syslog instead of writing it directly into a file.

So change the configuration fine of the default syslog daemon that is rsyslogd.

• Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerAddress 127.0.0.1
$UDPServerRun 514

• Also Edit /etc/rsyslog.d/49-haproxy.conf

local0.* -/var/log/haproxy_0.log
local1.* -/var/log/haproxy_1.log
& ~

• Edit /etc/logrotate.d/haproxy

/var/log/haproxy*.log
{
    rotate 4
    weekly
    missingok
    notifempty
    compress
    delaycompress
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}

$ restart rsyslog
