sure @jan 🙂 I did the following things…  
frontend http  
bind 0.0.0.0:80

```
option forwardfor
http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Host %[req.hdr(host)]
http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Server %[req.hdr(host)]
http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
acl is_graylog hdr_dom(host) -i -m str graylog_url_domain
use_backend graylog if is_graylog

```

backend graylog  
description The Graylog Web backend.  
http-request set-header X-Graylog-Server-URL https://graylog\_url\_domain/api  
use-server graylog\_1  
server graylog\_1 Private\_IP:9000 maxconn 20 check

I got these details in graylog doc.

[http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/configuration/web\_interface.html#haproxy-1-6](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/configuration/web_interface.html#haproxy-1-6)

I used lets-encrypt to enable ssl
