Logging the X-Forwarded-For Header and Disabling Proxy Health Check Logs in an Apache/Ubuntu Stack

Описание: Complete Guide: https://www.rmtechcentral.com/apache-...

Apache HTTP Server sitting behind a reverse proxy is a very common setup. However, by default, Apache logs the source IP address in the layer 3 header instead of the X-Forwarded-For header. This can be inconvenient when checking server logs, as everything will appear to come from the same IP address.

Another issue that can make reviewing logs more difficult is the logging of constant health checks initiated by the reverse proxy. These health check logs can quickly fill up the log files with redundant entries.

This video was created to help you address these issues, while also briefly covering how to define custom log files. This is important when attempting to disable logging for specific criteria, such as reverse proxy health checks.
