Hi Michel, Maybe you could start by sharing your configuration, then it will be easier to help you. HAProxy setup log severity to notice when a server fails move to status DOWN due to wrong health check response. If you don't retrieve this info in your log it's either because your HAProxy or your syslog server is not well configured (or both of them in the mean time). Baptiste
