Package: haproxy Version: 1.4.8-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The default syslog setting for local logging won't work out of the box unless syslog server is set up specifically. HAproxy intends to send log messages over UDP to 514 port on localhost, but syslog daemon does not listen that port by default. However there is /dev/log interface always available with default syslog configuration. If haproxy configuration is to be heavily modified chances that logging config will be modified (together with syslog configuration) are high as well. Attached patch will ensure that logging of HAproxy will work by default.
