These messages should provide clues about the root cause of the problem. + +#### System with systemd + +Use the following command to view logs generated since the last Netdata service restart: + +```bash +journalctl _SYSTEMD_INVOCATION_ID="$(systemctl show --value --property=InvocationID netdata)" --namespace=netdata --grep haproxy +``` + +#### System without systemd + +Locate the collector log file, typically at `/var/log/netdata/collector.log`, and use `grep` to filter for collector's name: + +```bash +grep haproxy /var/log/netdata/collector.log +``` + +**Note**: This method shows logs from all restarts. Focus on the **latest entries** for troubleshooting current issues. + +#### Docker Container + +If your Netdata runs in a Docker container named "netdata" (replace if different), use this command: + +```bash +docker logs netdata 2>&1 | grep haproxy +``` + + |
