5.2. Global Settings
The
global settings configure parameters that apply to all servers running HAProxy. A typical global section may look like the following:
global
log 127.0.0.1 local2
maxconn 4000
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
In the above configuration, the administrator has configured the service to
log all entries to the local syslog server. By default, this could be /var/log/syslog or some user-designated location.
The
maxconn parameter specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections for the service. By default, the maximum is 2000.
The
user and group parameters specifies the user name and group name for which the haproxy process belongs.
Finally, the
daemon parameter specifies that haproxy run as a background process.
