[Pkg-haproxy-maintainers] Bug#830165: haproxy: Logging breaks after chroot with journald as syslog

[Anton Eliasson]

Source: haproxy
Version: 1.6.5-1~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

haproxy ships /etc/rsyslog.d/49-haproxy.conf which should configure the syslog to create an additional logging socket in /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log, where /var/lib/haproxy is haproxy's chroot dir. However, systemd-journald does not consider this configuration file and so does not create the socket. Therefore, after haproxy has chrooted itself it no longer has access to a /dev/log and cannot log anymore.

In 2012 journald was not capable of listening on multiple sockets [1]. I do not know about its current state.
