HAProxy Logging Help

I've installed HA-Proxy version 1.3.15.2 on a freshly installed Fedora Core 9 server. Everything seems to be working fine as far I can see from the Ha-Proxy stats.

However, I can't seem to locate the logs that HA-Proxy writes to. Below is the content of my /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

Code:

global
        log 127.0.0.1   local0
        log 127.0.0.1   local1 notice
        #log loghost    local0 info
        maxconn 4096
        #debug
        #quiet
        user haproxy
        group haproxy

defaults
        log     global
        mode    http
        option  httplog
        option  dontlognull
        retries 3
        option redispatch
        maxconn 2000
        contimeout      5000
        clitimeout      50000
        srvtimeout      50000

listen IK_WebFarm 10.1.1.2:80
       mode http
       stats enable
       stats auth someuser:somepassword
       balance source
       cookie JSESSIONID prefix
       option httpclose
       option forwardfor
       option httpchk HEAD /check.txt HTTP/1.0
       server WEB-1 10.1.1.30:80 cookie A check
       server WEB-2 10.1.1.31:80 cookie B check

I've googled for answers and there is a site that said something about HA-Proxy logging to a syslog facility local0 via a socket connection, which by default, in most syslog configuration, does not accept socket connections or doesn't have any local0 facility. There is instructions on how to fix this but it only applies to servers using syslogd, which FC no longer supports and now uses rsyslogd. I have no prior experience in configuring syslog or anything like that, so I would appreciate if someone can help me.

1. How do I configure rsyslogd to accept HA-Proxy logging
2. How do I configure HA-Proxy to write the logs to specific file and location, eg. /var/log/haproxy.log

UPDATE!

I've added the following to /etc/rsyslog.conf

Code:

# Save HA-Proxy logs
local0.*                                                /var/log/haproxy_0.log
local1.*                                                /var/log/haproxy_1.log

Now I can see the 2 log files when I restart rsyslogd, but nothing is being logged into those 2 files. Anyone have any idea how to sort this out? Thanks.

 

Still waiting for someone to help me to sort out this logging issue....Anyone? Please?

 

I'm sorry, but I'm no rsyslog expert...

 

Anyone manage to successfully install HAProxy and Heartbeat on a Fedora server and manage to get the logging for HAProxy working?

 

You just have to restart syslogd with -r option so it will accept connections:

* By default the syslog daemon doesn't accept any message from the
syslog/udp port. To enable this add "-r" to the command-line
arguments. You _have to_ add this on every host that should run as a
centralized network log server.


On CentOS 5 edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog adding this:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"
