I erased haproxy.log with old content but this file hasn't appeared again

Question

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! :(

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.

It does the trick. Do you know of any way to empty the HAProxy file without the need to restart? – RicHincapie May 27 '21 at 22:27

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

Please restart haproxy to create new file.

For erasing haproxy use this command Echo > /haproxy log location
