Problem: rsyslog logging haproxy to syslog

Problem: rsyslog logging haproxy to syslog

Intro

I'm trying to get some kind of reasonable logging for haproxy via rsyslog. I've almost got it, except that the messages get inserted not only into the haproxy logs but also into the more general syslog and messages logs.

Was able to get rsyslog working with haproxy from here: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/haproxy_logging/

haproxy.conf

$ sudo cat /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
global
        log 127.0.0.1   local0
        log 127.0.0.1   local1 notice
        maxconn 4096
        user haproxy
        group haproxy
        daemon

defaults
        log     global
        mode    http
        option  httplog
        contimeout      5000
        clitimeout      50000
        srvtimeout      50000


listen  google  127.0.0.1:10001
        mode http
        balance roundrobin
        cookie SERVERID insert indirect
        option httpchk HEAD /index.html HTTP/1.0
        server  google_1 209.85.225.103:80 cookie google1 check

rsyslog

$ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/haproxy.conf 

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514

local0.*                        -/var/log/haproxy-0.log
local1.*                        -/var/log/haproxy-1.log

the test

$ curl -s -I http://127.0.0.1:10001
$ sudo tail -v -n 1 /var/log/{syslog,messages,haproxy-*}

sample test results

$ curl -s -I http://127.0.0.1:10001

Solution

Found this page: http://serverfault.com/questions/214312/how-to-keep-haproxy-log-messages-out-of-var-log-syslog

Had to modify the default rsyslog file, adding entries to ignore local0 and local1.

$ grep local /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
*.*;auth,authpriv,local0,local1.none            -/var/log/syslog
        local0,local1.none      -/var/log/messages
