Hello,  
I have nginx before haproxy on my Load Balancer. Request is traveling in to haproxy with “proxy\_pass” directive. I set a header “X-Forwarded-For” and now, I need to log haproxy requests to logstash. But in log I get local IP adress of HAproxy. Is possible to set something like RPAF in haproxy?

Thank you !

Should be something like:

`http-request set-src hdr(x-forwarded-for)`
