Hi all I am having some pain setting up some of the haproxy logging options. Earlier i was not specifying a log format, and the captured request headers were getting printed. I wanted to log the unique-id-header, but could not find any way of doing so. So i copy pasted the log-format mentioned on the 1.5/doc/configuration.txt<http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/configuration.txt>, and unique id started getting logged. Unfortunately, now the captured request headers are not getting logged. After some thought, i though't id put some delimiters around the %hrl and %hsl and i realized that these are empty strings.
Very weird. Here is my config, plzz help :( listen server bind *:80 mode http option httplog option http-server-close no option logasap # disable early logging of HTTP requests so that total transfer time is logged option forwardfor capture request header X-Forwarded-For len 500 capture request header Host len 500 capture request header X-Request-UID len 500 rspadd X-Haproxy-Backend:\ server # Generate the X-Haproxy-Unique-ID and log it to make it easy to track requests log-format %Ci:%Cp\ [id=%ID]\ [%t]\ %f\ %b/%s\ %Tq/%Tw/%Tc/%Tr/%Tt\ %st\ %B\ %cc\ %cs\ %tsc\ %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc\ %sq/%bq\ *{%hrl}\ {%hsl}*\ %{+Q}r unique-id-format %{+X}o\ %Ci:%Cp_%Fi:%Fp_%Ts_%rt:%pid unique-id-header X-Haproxy-Unique-ID Here is the log i see: Sep 13 17:28:57 localhost haproxy[11979]: 10.161.27.218:41592[id=0AA11BDA:A278_0AA15B71:0050_505217C5_0014:2ECB] [13/Sep/2012:17:28:37.567] server www-example-com-healthz/- 19998/0/2/1/+20001 200 +326 - - ---- 10/10/1/1/0 0/0 *{} {}* "GET /testing/healthz?merchant=www.example.com&source=elb HTTP/1.1" Help will be greatly appreciated.
