HAProxy Traffic Logs with GoAccess
By chimo on (updated on )
HAProxy is essentially the entry-point
for most of the services I run. Its logs are sent to a central rsyslog
container on a volume that's accessible by the GoAccess container for parsing. I found most of
the configs here.
global
log /dev/log local2 # Log to local syslog, which sends a copy to a
# remote rsyslog container.

capture request header Referer len 128
capture request header User-Agent len 128
log-format %si:%sp\ %ci\ [%t]\ \"%r\"\ %ST\ %B\ "%hr"
# %si - your server ip - very useful if you have multiple application
# %sp - your server port
# %ci - user ip
# %t - datetime in haproxy format
# %r - request
# %ST - status code
# %B - data reponse length
# %hr - captured headers separated by "|" (Referer|User-Agent)
[...]# Send haproxy logs to its own file

date-format %d/%b/%Y
log-format %^ %^ %^ %^ %h [%d:%t.%^] "%r" %s %b "{%R|%u}"
# %^ - skipped token
# %h - user ip
# %d - date-format
# %t - time-format
# %r - request e.g. GET /something
# %s - server status code
# %b - data response length
# %R - referer - very important if you want to know where your users come from
# %u - user agent
# There is so many skipped tokens because my haproxy put some extra information in every line or rsyslog(?)

Yay.
I might enable the web version at a later date. Still undecided at the moment.
