In haproxy we have these two flags: -q is meant to suppress all the messages, even when the configuration is wrong, that's not the same thing as displaying only the errors. -V is meant to add more output than the default. Till 2.8, the systemd unit was not displaying the errors upon a reload because it was checking the configuration with -q, I'm surprised nobody reported it, because that's really a pain to have a process which reloads incorrectly without showing any error. Problem is, when removing the -q, the script adds "Configuration is valid" to the logs for every reloads, which are already a bit heavy for just a reload. Using -q for this was a problem, so I'd better not do it. I'm not talking about suppressing the message, just hiding the "valid" message by default, without -V. All other warnings and alerts are still outputed, so it's easy to see if you broke something. -- William Lallemand
