In/Out Bytes 0 for syslog backend

I have a syslog load-balancing configuration which works well. But have just noticed that the stats show no in/out bytes for the backend, which is incorrect.

Am I missing something in the following config? It’s pretty much taken from here.

global
    log /dev/log        local0
    log /dev/log        local1 notice

# FrontEnd
log-forward syslog
    bind                10.2.2.250:514
    bind                10.2.2.250:1514
    log                 backend@panoslog user

# BackEnd
backend panoslog
    mode        log
    balance     roundrobin                  # Balance algorithm

    server syslog1 10.2.2.51:9001 log-proto octet-count check inter 1s fall 3 rise 6
    server syslog2 10.2.2.52:9001 log-proto octet-count check inter 1s fall 3 rise 6

The stats UI reports one session to each backend server, but 0 bytes in and out. Another frontend (tcp) has ‘log global’ set and reports bytes for the frontend and the backend.

Just noticed this post, is there any news on implementing byte stats for log backends?

Indeed there has been no progress regarding stats integration for log backends since the post you mentioned
