Global

The global section appears at the top of your configuration file. It defines process-level directives such as the maximum number of connections to accept, where to store logs, and which user and group the process should run under. The example below shows just some of the available options:

haproxy
global
  maxconn 60000
  log 127.0.0.1 local0
  log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice
  user  haproxy
  group haproxy
  chroot /var/empty

haproxy

  log 127.0.0.1 local0
  log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice
  user  haproxy
  group haproxy
  chroot /var/empty
