Given the following config,
upstream u {
server 127.0.0.1:8001;
server 127.0.0.1:8002;
server 127.0.0.1:8003;
}
log_format u "upstream_addr={$upstream_addr}
upstream_status={$upstream_status}";
server {
access_log logs/u.log u;
listen 8000;
location / {
proxy_pass http://u;
}
}
when none of the upstream servers are available, the first request will
log
upstream_addr={127.0.0.1:8001, 127.0.0.1:8002, 127.0.0.1:8003}
upstream_status={502, 502, 502}
And the next request will log:
upstream_addr={u} upstream_status={502}
If you add the 4th "server 127.0.0.1:8004 down" and start afresh, then the
first request will end up with
upstream_addr={127.0.0.1:8001, 127.0.0.1:8002, 127.0.0.1:8003, u}
upstream_status={502, 502, 502, 502}
This is because the number of attempts equals the number of servers by
default.
Again, this is not a bug but a feature.
The number of values in $upstream_* always corresponds to the number
of attempts made to select a server. The last value can be a special
value with the name of the upstream group when an attempt to select
a peer has failed. This can happen on the 1st attempt, and then the
only value will be the upstream group name.
