Q: I erased haproxy.log with old content but this file hasn't appeared again I have a load balancer with HAProxy in Ubuntu 14.04. I did all configurations for turn on log and it works well. However, I erased haproxy.log file and that hasn't appeared again. Can someone help me?
I restart rsyslog and haproxy service. But it didn't work! :(

A: If you have sure that your configurations files is right, make the file yourself, but make sure to give permissions to syslog user.
chown syslog:adm /var/log/haproxy.log

This should do the trick. Make sure to restart both rsyslog and haproxy.

A: Please restart haproxy to create new file.
For erasing haproxy use this command
Echo > /haproxy log location

A: For me restarting the server did it. Restarting the haproxy service was not enough
