Description

HAProxy package v0.63_1

Setting the syslog host to /var/run/log in the HAProxy settings doesn't produce any entries in the pfSense system logs.

Following the suggestion in this post fixes the issue by making syslogd listen to a UDP socket:

  1. Edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf (Diagnostics -> Edit File).
  2. Change syslogd_flags="-s" to syslogd_flags="-s -b localhost -C"
  3. Restart the syslogd service (Status -> Services).

I can confirm that logging into the local syslog is not functioning as expected.

The recommended workaround has resolved the issue. After making the recommended edits to the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file, the logs started to appear.
