logs are not going into log file even after having rsyslog config

I am facing problem. I have two different harpxoy linux servers (in diff network range). In one server, i can see logs are getting generated in log file but on other server, the logs are not getting generated in log file.

I have compared almost all possible config file from two servers and they appear to be same but still cannot find the clue on what is the problem.

Working server -

These files are same on both servers

both are same
 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service
 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/haproxy.service
 
/etc/sysconfig/haproxy
 
/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog
 
/etc/logrotate.d/haproxy

Both have rsyslog-8.24.0-57.el7_9.1.x86_64 and haproxy-1.5.18-9.el7_9.1.x86_64 package.

Configuration is almost same on both the servers but on non-working servers, logs are not going to its own log file.

Can anyone please help.

Thanks,


Solution 1:

After adding below line under frontend section, logs are now generating in log file.

log 127.0.0.1:514 local0 debug
