Put a - in front of the path in syslogd.conf. Ie:
local0.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_0.log local1.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_1.log local2.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_2.log local3.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_3.log local4.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_4.log local5.* -/mnt/log/haproxy_5.log That will help a lot with your load. Without the -, syslog is asked to sync the disk after every entry. Also, levels are incremental. Debug includes info, info includes crit, notice includes warning, etc.. So, just list one level (ie: info) in your Haproxy config, and if you want to break it out by level then do it in your syslogd.conf.

It used to be at 5-10% utilization, and it is now above 95% most of the time. rsyslogd.conf: # Save HA-Proxy logs local0.* /mnt/log/haproxy_0.log local1.* /mnt/log/haproxy_1.log local2.* /mnt/log/haproxy_2.log local3.* /mnt/log/haproxy_3.log local4.* /mnt/log/haproxy_4.log local5.* /mnt/log/haproxy_5.log
