How to fix logging issues with Varnish configured
to log client IP Addresses in Apache log
Since a couple of days, I've noticed that client IP addresses are
logged twice in my Apache log file
httpd-access.log. That's definetely shit. Here is
how I solved the issue:
I modified my:
/usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl that after the
modification the file looked like:
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8080";
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url ~ "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|tiff|tif|svg|swf|ico|mp3|mp4|m4a|ogg|mov|avi|wmv)$") {
lookup;
}
if (req.url ~ "\.(css|js)$") {
lookup;
}
}
sub vcl_fetch {
if( req.request != "POST" )
{
unset obj.http.set-cookie;
}
set obj.ttl = 600s;
set obj.prefetch = -30s;
deliver;
}
Well that's it after restarting varnishd with:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/varnishd restart
Client ip is now logged only once in Apache's log file, Cheers!
