Haproxy and Syslog after upgrade to 2.3.3

[IB]

Hi !

I see one problem after upgrade pfSense from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 (and 2.3.3_1). Haproxy upgraded from 0.48 to 0.52_6 and:

• there is a new lines in packet description about logging

 <logging><logsocket>/tmp/haproxy_chroot/var/run/log</logsocket>
	<facilityname>haproxy</facilityname>
	<logfilename>haproxy.log</logfilename></logging> 

• so, in syslog.conf generated two lines in top of file:

!haproxy
*.*						 %/var/log/haproxy.log

• and new options on start syslogs

-l /tmp/haproxy_chroot/var/run/log

• when server start, I see messages from syslogd "Operation not supported by device" about /var/log/Haproxy.log

• and /var/log/Haproxy.log grow up to 200 GB(!) with hex zero

How I can fix this problem? After several reboot disk overloaded…

Some addition.

I have two cluster by two servers. One cluster on x64 platform, other on x86. Situation with configs and messages is same on all 4 servers . But giant haproxy.log generates on x64 platforms only. On x86 platforms this files have a small size - 24 bytes of hex zero.

Works just fine here - 2.3.3_1, 2.3.4 snapshots, 2.4 snapshots.

2.3.3-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

Sequentially upgraded from 2.2.x

… to be continued:

1. /var/log/haproxy.log 3 Gb. Run

truncate -s 0 /var/log/haproxy.log

size 0
2. Reboot. System booted, but syslog not started
3. Remove file

rm /var/log/haproxy.log

and reboot
4. System hang up on syslog start
5. Ctrl+C, single user mode

touch /var/log/haproxy.log
reboot

6. All right, system booted, syslog started, /var/log/haproxy.log size 600 Mb
7. Another reboot - all right, log has same size

Any ideas?

It's a clog file, binary circular log. Don't use touch, truncate, or anything else on it that alters the log.

If it's not in clog format, syslog will barf on it.

/usr/local/sbin/clog -i -s 511488 /var/log/haproxy.log

Sorry, I was absent and haven't access to forum

I find source of problem. It's appear when in field "Remote syslog host" I fill "/var/run/log", recommended for local logging. And after I clear this field - no problem with log files. But I not see any messages from Haproxy in local log.//
