Hi Everyone, I'm sure this must be answered somewhere, so I do apologise if this has been answered before.
Problem: How to get _either_ X-Forwarded-For _or_ client.ip (in the absence of X-Forwarded-For) into a single NSCA formatted log file using varnish / varnishnsca. Situation: We host many sites through varnish, some of which are served via an upstream CDN - i.e. a proxy that supplies X-Forwarded-For, and some which don't - ie. There is no X-Forwarded-For and just a direct connection. I have tried the -f flag to varnishnsca, however it seems to only log an IP address for X-Forwarded-For if it exists, or '-' if it doesn't, meaning when I specify -f I lose all ip addresses for direct connections in the varnishnsca log file. I have followed tips to set X-Forwarded-For from client-ip using VCL, and that works for the downstream connections (the webservers can produce good logs), however I'm trying to get a single log file from varnish. (FWIW - this log file is to be parsed by AWStats) Varnish version: varnish-3.0.0 revision cbf1284 I think I'm missing something obvious: * a custom log format or something? * Or the -f functionality is not implemented conditionally as per the description in the bug report "log X-Forwarded-For instead of clientip if it exists" ( see https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/ticket/335 ) * Or my X-Forwarded-For is present but blank (how could that be?) * Question: Does modifying the X-Forwarded-for fields using VCL (in sub vcl_recv ) have any impact on what would be logged using varnishnsca ? Any help appreciated! Thanks for reading : -) GB (Actually just found this post: https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/pipermail/varnish-misc/2012-August/022381.html - exact same problem I think). _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
