Configuring Haproxy to increase logging capabilities

Haproxy installed on CentOS 7, the log is not logged by default. You need to do a configuration to log the logs.

1. Create a log file/var/log/haproxy/haproxy.log

Cd/var/logsudo mkdir haproxycd haproxysudo touch haproxy.logsudo chmod a+w haproxy.log

2. Turn on the Rsyslog haproxy logging function

Edit the/etc/rsyslog.conf file to

$ModLoad Imudp$udpserverrun 514

The # before two lines is removed.

In

# Save Boot messages also to boot.loglocal7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

After adding

# Save Haproxy loglocal0.*                       /var/log/haproxy/haproxy.log

Modify the/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog file to

Syslogd_options= ""

Switch

Syslogd_options= "-r-m 0-c 2"

3. Configure Haproxy

Modify the/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg file and add it in the global section
