400 response HTTP code logged when using Haproxy 'option ssl-hello-chk'

Server NGINX
#1

Hello,
We’re using haproxy to load balance SSL between two nginx servers.
We’re using ‘option ssl-hello-chk’ for health monitoring in haproxy’s
config. The problem is it’s flooding our logs with 400 errors every 2
seconds. Is there a way to stop this?

If you don’t want to see 400 errors, you may try something like
this (in a default server block):

error_page 400 /nolog;

location = /error_400 {
    access_log off;
    return 400;
}
