Many of the variables in :file:`records.config` are set automatically when you set configuration options with :option:`traffic_ctl config set`. After you modify :file:`records.config`, run the command :option:`traffic_ctl config reload` to apply the changes. Note: The configuration directory, containing the ``SYSCONFDIR`` value specified at build time relative to the installation prefix, contains |TS| configuration files. The ``$TS_ROOT`` environment variable can be used alter the installation prefix at run time. The directory must allow read/write access for configuration reloads. Format ====== Each variable has the following format:: CONFIG variable_name DATATYPE variable_value Data Type --------- A variable's type is defined by the ``DATATYPE`` and must be one of: ========== ==================================================================== Type Description ========== ==================================================================== ``FLOAT`` Floating point, expressed as a decimal number without units or exponents. ``INT`` Integers, expressed with or without unit prefixes (as described below). ``STRING`` String of characters up to the first newline. No quoting necessary. ========== ==================================================================== Values ------ The *variable_value* must conform to the variable's type. For ``STRING``, this is simply any character data until the first newline. For integer (``INT``) variables, values are expressed as any normal integer, e.g. ``32768``. They can also be expressed using more human readable values using standard unit prefixes, e.g. ``32K``. The following prefixes are supported for all ``INT`` type configurations: ====== ============ =========================================================== Prefix Description Equivalent in Bytes ====== ============ =========================================================== ``K`` Kilobytes 1,024 bytes ``M`` Megabytes 1,048,576 bytes (1024\ :sup:`2`) ``G`` Gigabytes 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024\ :sup:`3`) ``T`` Terabytes 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (1024\ :sup:`4`) ====== ============ =========================================================== Floating point variables (``FLOAT``) must be expressed as a regular decimal number. Unit prefixes are not supported, nor are alternate notations (scientific, exponent, etc.). Additional Attributes --------------------- Deprecated ~~~~~~~~~~ A variable marked as *Deprecated* is still functional but should be avoided as it may be removed in a future release without warning. Reloadable ~~~~~~~~~~ A variable marked as *Reloadable* can be updated via the command:: traffic_ctl config reload This updates configuration parameters without restarting |TS| or interrupting the processing of requests. Overridable ~~~~~~~~~~~ A variable marked as *Overridable* can be changed on a per-remap basis using plugins (like the :ref:`admin-plugins-conf-remap`), affecting operations within the current transaction only. Examples ======== In the following example, the variable `proxy.config.proxy_name`_ is a ``STRING`` datatype with the value ``my_server``. This means that the name of the |TS| proxy is ``my_server``. :: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_name STRING my_server If the server name should be ``that_server`` the line would be :: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_name STRING that_server In the following example, the variable ``proxy.config.arm.enabled`` is a yes/no flag. A value of ``0`` (zero) disables the option; a value of ``1`` enables the option. :: CONFIG proxy.config.arm.enabled INT 0 In the following example, the variable sets the time to wait for a DNS response to 10 seconds. :: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.lookup_timeout INT 10 The last examples configures a 64GB RAM cache, using a human readable prefix. :: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size INT 64G Environment Overrides ===================== Every :file:`records.config` configuration variable can be overridden by a corresponding environment variable. This can be useful in situations where you need a static :file:`records.config` but still want to tweak one or two settings. The override variable is formed by converting the :file:`records.config` variable name to upper case, and replacing any dot separators with an underscore. Overriding a variable from the environment is permanent and will not be affected by future configuration changes made in :file:`records.config` or applied with :program:`traffic_ctl`. For example, we could override the `proxy.config.product_company`_ variable like this:: $ PROXY_CONFIG_PRODUCT_COMPANY=example traffic_manager & $ traffic_ctl config get proxy.config.product_company .. _configuration-variables: Configuration Variables ======================= The following list describes the configuration variables available in the :file:`records.config` file. System Variables ---------------- .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.product_company STRING Apache Software Foundation The name of the organization developing |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.product_vendor STRING Apache The name of the vendor providing |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.product_name STRING |TS| The name of the product. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_name STRING build_machine :reloadable: The name of the |TS| node. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.bin_path STRING bin The location of the |TS| ``bin`` directory. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_binary STRING traffic_server The name of the executable that runs the :program:`traffic_server` process. If you want to set Environment Variables for :program:`traffic_server` process, use a wrapper script like below. :: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_binary STRING start_traffic_server.sh :: #!/bin/sh export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 /opt/ats/bin/traffic_server "$@" .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.proxy_binary_opts STRING -M The :ref:`command-line options ` for starting |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.manager_binary STRING traffic_manager The name of the executable that runs the :program:`traffic_manager` process. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.memory.max_usage INT 0 :units: bytes Throttle incoming connections if resident memory usage exceeds this value. Setting the option to 0 disables the feature. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.env_prep STRING The script executed before the :program:`traffic_manager` process spawns the :program:`traffic_server` process. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.syslog_facility STRING LOG_DAEMON The facility used to record system log files. Refer to :ref:`admin-logging-understanding` for more in-depth discussion of the contents and interpretations of log files. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile STRING traffic.out This is used for log rolling configuration so |TS| knows the path of the output file that should be rolled. This configuration takes the name of the file receiving :program:`traffic_server` and :program:`traffic_manager` process output that is set via the ``--bind_stdout`` and ``--bind_stderr`` :ref:`command-line options `. :ts:cv:`proxy.config.output.logfile` is used only to identify the name of the output file for log rolling purposes and does not override the values set via ``--bind_stdout`` and ``--bind_stderr``. If a filename is passed to this option, then it will be interpreted relative to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.logfile_dir`. If a different location is desired, then pass an absolute path to this configuration. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile_perm STRING rw-r--r-- The log file permissions for the file receiving |TS| output, the path of which is configured via the ``--bind_stdout`` and ``--bind_stderr`` :ref:`command-line options `. The standard UNIX file permissions are used (owner, group, other). Permissible values are: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``-`` No permissions. ``r`` Read permission. ``w`` Write permission. ``x`` Execute permission. ===== ====================================================================== Permissions are subject to the umask settings for the |TS| process. This means that a umask setting of ``002`` will not allow write permission for others, even if specified in the configuration file. Permissions for existing log files are not changed when the configuration is modified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_enabled INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies how the output log is rolled. You can specify the following values: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables output log rolling. ``1`` Enables output log rolling at specific intervals (specified with the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_interval_sec` variable). The clock starts ticking on |TS| boot. ``2`` Enables output log rolling when the output log reaches a specific size (specified with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_size_mb`). ``3`` Enables output log rolling at specific intervals or when the output log reaches a specific size (whichever occurs first). ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_interval_sec INT 3600 :reloadable: :units: seconds Specifies how often the output log is rolled, in seconds. The timer starts on |TS| startup. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_size_mb INT 100 :reloadable: :units: megabytes Specifies at what size to roll the output log at. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.output.logfile.rolling_min_count INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies the minimum count of rolled output logs to keep. This value will be used to decide the order of auto-deletion (if enabled). A default value of 0 means auto-deletion will try to keep output logs as much as possible. See :doc:`../logging/rotation.en` for guidance. Thread Variables ---------------- .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig INT 1 When enabled (the default, ``1``), |TS| scales threads according to the available CPU cores. See the config option below. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig.scale FLOAT 1.0 Factor by which |TS| scales the number of threads. The multiplier is usually the number of available CPU cores. By default this is scaling factor is ``1.0``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.limit INT 2 The number of threads |TS| will create if `proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig` is set to ``0``, otherwise this option is ignored. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.listen INT 0 If enabled (``1``) all the exec_threads listen for incoming connections. `proxy.config.accept_threads` should be disabled to enable this variable. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.accept_threads INT 1 The number of accept threads. If disabled (``0``), then accepts will be done in each of the worker threads. ==================== ====================== ===================== accept_threads exec_thread.listen Effect ==================== ====================== ===================== ``0`` ``0`` All worker threads accept new connections and share listen fd. ``1`` ``0`` New connections are accepted on a dedicated accept thread and distributed to worker threads in round robin fashion. ``0`` ``1`` All worker threads listen on the same port using SO_REUSEPORT. Each thread has its own listen fd and new connections are accepted on all the threads. ==================== ====================== ===================== By default, `proxy.config.accept_threads` is set to 1 and `proxy.config.exec_thread.listen` is set to 0. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.thread.default.stacksize INT 1048576 Default thread stack size, in bytes, for all threads (default is 1 MB). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.affinity INT 1 Bind threads to specific processing units. ===== ======================================= Value Effect ===== ======================================= ``0`` Assign threads to machine. ``1`` Assign threads to NUMA nodes [default]. ``2`` Assign threads to sockets. ``3`` Assign threads to cores. ``4`` Assign threads to processing units. ===== ======================================= .. note:: This option only has an affect when |TS| has been compiled with ``--enable-hwloc``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.system.file_max_pct FLOAT 0.9 Set the maximum number of file handles for the traffic_server process as a percentage of the fs.file-max proc value in Linux. The default is 90%. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.crash_log_helper STRING traffic_crashlog This option directs :program:`traffic_server` to spawn a crash log helper at startup. The value should be the path to an executable program. If the path is not absolute, it is located relative to configured ``bin`` directory. Any user-provided program specified here must behave in a fashion compatible with :program:`traffic_crashlog`. Specifically, it must implement the :option:`traffic_crashlog --wait` behavior. This setting not reloadable because the helper must be spawned before :program:`traffic_server` drops privilege. If this variable is set to ``NULL``, no helper will be spawned. .. ts::vc:: CONFIG proxy.config.core_limit INT -1 This option specifies the size limit for core files in the event that :program:`traffic_server` crashes. ``-1`` means there is no limit. A value of ``0`` prevents core dump creation. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.restart.active_client_threshold INT 0 :reloadable: This setting specifies the number of active client connections for use by :option:`traffic_ctl server restart --drain`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.restart.stop_listening INT 0 :reloadable: This option specifies whether |TS| should close listening sockets while shutting down gracefully. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Listening sockets will be kept open. ``1`` Listening sockets will be closed when |TS| starts shutting down. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.stop.shutdown_timeout INT 0 :reloadable: The shutdown timeout(in seconds) to apply when stopping Traffic Server, in which ATS can initiate graceful shutdowns. In order to effect graceful shutdown, the value specified should be greater than 0. Value of 0 will not effect an abrupt shutdown. Abrupt shutdowns can be achieved with out specifying --drain; (traffic_ctl server stop /restart). Stopping |TS| here means sending `traffic_server` a signal either by `bin/trafficserver stop` or `kill`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.thread.max_heartbeat_mseconds INT 60 :units: milliseconds Set the maximum heartbeat in milliseconds for threads, ranges from 0 to 1000. This controls the maximum amount of time the event loop will wait for I/O activity. On a system that is not busy, this option can be set to a higher value to decrease the spin around overhead. If experiencing unexpected delays, setting a lower value should improve the situation. Note that this setting should only be used by expert system tuners, and will not be beneficial with random fiddling. Network ======= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.connections_throttle INT 30000 The total number of client and origin server connections that the server can handle simultaneously. This is in fact the max number of file descriptors that the :program:`traffic_server` process can have open at any given time. Roughly 10% of these connections are reserved for origin server connections, i.e. from the default, only ~27,000 client connections can be handled. This should be tuned according to your memory size, and expected work load. If this is set to 0, the throttling logic is disabled. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.max_connections_in INT 30000 The total number of client requests that |TS| can handle simultaneously. This should be tuned according to your memory size, and expected work load (network, cpu etc). This limit includes both idle (keep alive) connections and active requests that |TS| can handle at any given instant. The delta between `proxy.config.net.max_connections_in` and `proxy.config.net.max_requests_in` is the amount of maximum idle (keepalive) connections |TS| will maintain. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.max_requests_in INT 0 The total number of concurrent requests or active client connections that the |TS| can handle simultaneously. This should be tuned according to your memory size, and expected work load (network, cpu etc). When set to 0, active request tracking is disabled and max requests has no separate limit and the total connections follow `proxy.config.net.connections_throttle` .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.default_inactivity_timeout INT 86400 :reloadable: :overridable: The connection inactivity timeout (in seconds) to apply when |TS| detects that no inactivity timeout has been applied by the HTTP state machine. When this timeout is applied, the `proxy.process.net.default_inactivity_timeout_applied` metric is incremented. Note that this configuration is overridable. While most overridable configurations conceptually apply to specific transactions, ``default_inactivity_timeout`` is a connection level concept. This is not necessarily a problem, but it does mean that care must be taken when applying the override to consider that all transactions in the connection which has this timeout overriden will be impacted by the override. For instance, if the default inactivity timeout is being overridden via a :ref:`admin-plugins-conf-remap` rule in :file:`remap.config`, then all transactions for that connection will be impacted by the override, not just the ones matching that ``remap.config`` rule. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.inactivity_check_frequency INT 1 How frequent (in seconds) to check for inactive connections. If you deal with a lot of concurrent connections, increasing this setting can reduce pressure on the system. .. ts:cv:: LOCAL proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind STRING 0.0.0.0 [::] Controls the global default IP addresses to which to bind proxy server ports. The value is a space separated list of IP addresses, one per supported IP address family (currently IPv4 and IPv6). Unless explicitly specified in :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_ports`, the server port will be bound to one of these addresses, selected by IP address family. The built in default is any address. This is used if no address for a family is specified. This setting is useful if most or all server ports should be bound to the same address. .. note:: This is ignored for inbound transparent server ports because they must be able to accept connections on arbitrary IP addresses. .. topic:: Example Set the global default for IPv4 to ``192.168.101.18`` and leave the global default for IPv6 as any address:: LOCAL proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind STRING 192.168.101.18 .. topic:: Example Set the global default for IPv4 to ``191.68.101.18`` and the global default for IPv6 to ``fc07:192:168:101::17``:: LOCAL proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind STRING 192.168.101.18 [fc07:192:168:101::17] .. ts:cv:: LOCAL proxy.local.outgoing_ip_to_bind STRING 0.0.0.0 [::] This controls the global default for the local IP address for outbound connections to origin servers. The value is a list of space separated IP addresses, one per supported IP address family (currently IPv4 and IPv6). Unless explicitly specified in :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_ports`, one of these addresses, selected by IP address family, will be used as the local address for outbound connections. This setting is useful if most or all of the server ports should use the same outbound IP addresses. .. note:: This is ignored for outbound transparent ports as the local outbound address will be the same as the client local address. .. topic:: Example Set the default local outbound IP address for IPv4 connections to ``192.168.101.18``.:: LOCAL proxy.local.outgoing_ip_to_bind STRING 192.168.101.18 .. topic:: Example Set the default local outbound IP address to ``192.168.101.17`` for IPv4 and ``fc07:192:168:101::17`` for IPv6.:: LOCAL proxy.local.outgoing_ip_to_bind STRING 192.168.101.17 [fc07:192:168:101::17] .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.event_period INT 10 How often, in milli-seconds, to schedule IO event processing. This is unlikely to be necessary to tune, and we discourage setting it to a value smaller than 10ms (on Linux). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.accept_period INT 10 How often, in milli-seconds, to schedule accept() processing. This is unlikely to be necessary to tune, and we discourage setting it to a value smaller than 10ms (on Linux). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.retry_delay INT 10 :reloadable: How long to wait until we retry various events that would otherwise block the network processing threads (e.g. locks). We discourage setting this to a value smaller than 10ms (on Linux). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.throttle_delay INT 50 :reloadable: When we trigger a throttling scenario, this how long our accept() are delayed. Local Manager ============= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.node.config.manager_log_filename STRING manager.log The name of the file to which :program:`traffic_manager` logs will be emitted. If this is set to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, then all :program:`traffic_manager` logging will go to the stdout or stderr stream, respectively. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.admin.user_id STRING nobody Designates the non-privileged account to run the :program:`traffic_server` process as, which also has the effect of setting ownership of configuration and log files. If the user_id is prefixed with pound character (``#``), the remainder of the string is considered to be a `numeric user identifier `_. If the value is set to ``#-1``, |TS| will not change the user during startup. .. important:: Attempting to set this option to ``root`` or ``#0`` is now forbidden, as a measure to increase security. Doing so will cause a fatal failure upon startup in :program:`traffic_server`. However, there are two ways to bypass this restriction: * Specify ``-DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE`` in ``CXXFLAGS`` during compilation. * Set the ``user_id=#-1`` and start trafficserver as root. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.admin.api.restricted INT 0 This setting specifies whether the management API should be restricted to root processes. If this is set to ``0``, then on platforms that support passing process credentials, non-root processes will be allowed to make read-only management API calls. Any management API calls that modify server state (eg. setting a configuration variable) will still be restricted to root processes. This setting is not reloadable, since it is must be applied when :program:`traffic_manager` initializes. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.track_config_files INT 1 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) tracking configuration file updates. This setting is enabled by default, meaning that configuration files are monitored for changes. Having tracking enabled is a dependency for :option:`traffic_ctl config status` to function. However, tracking the files is implemented via a frequent call to ``stat()`` which may be problematic in some deployments. If the call to ``stat()`` on configuration files causes problems, then it can be avoided by setting this value to ``0`` at the cost of disabling the config status feature for :program:`traffic_ctl`. This setting is not reloadable, since it is must be applied when :program:`traffic_manager` initializes. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.node.config.manager_exponential_sleep_ceiling INT 60 In case of :program:`traffic_manager` is unable to start :program:`traffic_server`, this setting specifies the maximum amount of seconds that the :program:`traffic_manager` process should wait until it tries again to restart :program:`traffic_server`. In case of :program:`traffic_manager` failing to start :program:`traffic_server`, it will retry exponentially until it reaches the ceiling time. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.node.config.manager_retry_cap INT 5 This setting specifies the number of times that :program:`traffic_manager` will retry to restart :program:`traffic_server` once the maximum ceiling time is reached. .. note:: If set to ``0``, no cap will take place. Alarm Configuration =================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.alarm.abs_path STRING NULL :reloadable: The absolute path to the directory containing the alarm script. If this is not set, the script will be located relative to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.bin_path`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.alarm.script_runtime INT 5 :reloadable: The number of seconds that |TS| allows the alarm script to run before aborting it. HTTP Engine =========== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_ports STRING 8080 8080:ipv6 Ports used for proxying HTTP traffic. This is a list, separated by space or comma, of :index:`port descriptors`. Each descriptor is a sequence of keywords and values separated by colons. Not all keywords have values, those that do are specifically noted. Keywords with values can have an optional ``=`` character separating the keyword and value. The case of keywords is ignored. The order of keywords is irrelevant but unspecified results may occur if incompatible options are used (noted below). Options without values are idempotent. Options with values use the last (right most) value specified, except for ``ip-out`` as detailed later. Quick reference chart: =========== =============== ======================================== Name Note Definition =========== =============== ======================================== *number* Required The local port. blind Blind (``CONNECT``) port. compress Not Implemented Compressed. ipv4 Default Bind to IPv4 address family. ipv6 Bind to IPv6 address family. ip-in Value Local inbound IP address. ip-out Value Local outbound IP address. ip-resolve Value IP address resolution style. proto Value List of supported session protocols. pp Enable Proxy Protocol. ssl SSL terminated. quic QUIC terminated. tr-full Fully transparent (inbound and outbound) tr-in Inbound transparent. tr-out Outbound transparent. tr-pass Pass through enabled. mptcp Multipath TCP. =========== =============== ======================================== *number* Local IP port to bind. This is the port to which ATS clients will connect. blind Accept only the ``CONNECT`` method on this port. Not compatible with: ``tr-in``, ``ssl`` and ``quic``. compress Compress the connection. Retained only by inertia, should be considered "not implemented". ipv4 Use IPv4. This is the default and is included primarily for completeness. This forced if the ``ip-in`` option is used with an IPv4 address. ipv6 Use IPv6. This is forced if the ``ip-in`` option is used with an IPv6 address. ssl Require SSL termination for inbound connections. SSL :ref:`must be configured ` for this option to provide a functional server port. Not compatible with: ``blind`` and ``quic``. quic Require QUIC termination for inbound connections. SSL :ref:`must be configured ` for this option to provide a functional server port. **THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT AND NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE.** Not compatible with: ``blind`` and ``ssl``. proto Specify the :ref:`session level protocols ` supported. These should be separated by semi-colons. For TLS proxy ports the default value is all available protocols. For non-TLS proxy ports the default is HTTP only. HTTP/3 is only available on QUIC ports. pp Enables Proxy Protocol on the port. If Proxy Protocol is enabled on the port, all incoming requests must be prefaced with the PROXY header. See :ref:`Proxy Protocol ` for more details on how to configure this option properly. tr-full Fully transparent. This is a convenience option and is identical to specifying both ``tr-in`` and ``tr-out``. Not compatible with: Any option not compatible with ``tr-in`` or ``tr-out``. tr-in Inbound transparent. The proxy port will accept connections to any IP address on the port. To have IPv6 inbound transparent you must use this and the ``ipv6`` option. This overrides :ts:cv:`proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind` for this port. Not compatible with: ``ip-in``, ``blind`` tr-out Outbound transparent. If ATS connects to an origin server for a transaction on this port, it will use the client's address as its local address. This overrides :ts:cv:`proxy.local.outgoing_ip_to_bind` for this port. Not compatible with: ``ip-out``, ``ip-resolve`` tr-pass Transparent pass through. This option is useful only for inbound transparent proxy ports. If the parsing of the expected HTTP header fails, then the transaction is switched to a blind tunnel instead of generating an error response to the client. It effectively enables :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.use_client_target_addr` for the transaction as there is no other place to obtain the origin server address. ip-in Set the local IP address for the port. This is the address to which clients will connect. This forces the IP address family for the port. The ``ipv4`` or ``ipv6`` can be used but it is optional and is an error for it to disagree with the IP address family of this value. An IPv6 address **must** be enclosed in square brackets. If this option is omitted :ts:cv:`proxy.local.incoming_ip_to_bind` is used. Not compatible with: ``tr-in``. ip-out Set the local IP address for outbound connections. This is the address used by ATS locally when it connects to an origin server for transactions on this port. If this is omitted :ts:cv:`proxy.local.outgoing_ip_to_bind` is used. This option can used multiple times, once for each IP address family. The address used is selected by the IP address family of the origin server address. Not compatible with: ``tr-out``. ip-resolve Set the :ts:cv:`host resolution style ` for transactions on this proxy port. Not compatible with: ``tr-out`` - this option requires a value of ``client;none`` which is forced and should not be explicitly specified. mptcp Enable Multipath TCP on this proxy port. Requires custom Linux kernel available at https://multipath-tcp.org. .. topic:: Example Listen on port 80 on any address for IPv4 and IPv6.:: 80 80:ipv6 .. topic:: Example Listen transparently on any IPv4 address on port 8080, and transparently on port 8080 on local address ``fc01:10:10:1::1`` (which implies ``ipv6``).:: IPv4:tr-FULL:8080 TR-full:IP-in=[fc02:10:10:1::1]:8080 .. topic:: Example Listen on port 8080 for IPv6, fully transparent.

This configuration alters the behavior so that |TS| forwards the CONNECT method to the next hop, and establishes the tunnel after receiving a positive response. This behavior is useful in a proxy hierarchy, and is equivalent to setting :ts:cv:`proxy.local.http.parent_proxy.disable_connect_tunneling` to `0` when parent proxying is enabled. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_request_via_str INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Set how the ``Via`` field is handled on a request to the origin server. ===== ==================================================================== Value Effect ===== ==================================================================== ``0`` Do not modify or set this Via header. ``1`` Add the basic protocol and proxy identifier. ``2`` Add basic transaction codes. ``3`` Add detailed transaction codes. ``4`` Add full user agent connection :ref:`protocol tags `. ===== ==================================================================== .. note:: The ``Via`` transaction codes can be decoded with the `Via Decoder Ring `_. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.request_via_str STRING ApacheTrafficServer/${PACKAGE_VERSION} :reloadable: :overridable: Set the server and version string in the ``Via`` request header to the origin server which is inserted when the value of :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.insert_request_via_str` is not ``0``. Note that the actual default value is defined with ``"ApacheTrafficServer/" PACKAGE_VERSION`` in a C++ source code, and you must write such as ``ApacheTrafficServer/6.0.0`` if you really set a value with the version in :file:`records.config` file. If you want to hide the version, you can set this value to ``ApacheTrafficServer``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_response_via_str INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Set how the ``Via`` field is handled on the response to the client. ===== ================================================================== Value Effect ===== ================================================================== ``0`` Do not modify or set this Via header. ``1`` Add the basic protocol and proxy identifier. ``2`` Add basic transaction codes. ``3`` Add detailed transaction codes. ``4`` Add full upstream connection :ref:`protocol tags `. ===== ================================================================== .. note:: The ``Via`` transaction code can be decoded with the `Via Decoder Ring `_. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.response_via_str STRING ApacheTrafficServer/${PACKAGE_VERSION} :reloadable: :overridable: Set the server and version string in the ``Via`` response header to the client which is inserted when the value of :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.insert_response_via_str` is not ``0``. Note that the actual default value is defined with ``"ApacheTrafficServer/" PACKAGE_VERSION`` in a C++ source code, and you must write such as ``ApacheTrafficServer/6.0.0`` if you really set a value with the version in :file:`records.config` file.

Note that the actual default value is defined with ``"ATS/" PACKAGE_VERSION`` in the C++ source, and you must write such as ``ATS/6.0.0`` if you really set a value with the version in :file:`records.config`. If you want to hide the version, you can set this value to ``ATS``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_age_in_response INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: This option specifies whether |TS| should insert an ``Age`` header in the response. The value is the cache's estimate of the amount of time since the response was generated or revalidated by the origin server. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` No ``Age`` header is added. ``1`` ``Age`` header is added. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.chunking_enabled INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies whether |TS| can generate a chunked response: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Never respond with chunked encoding. ``1`` Always respond with chunked encoding. ``2`` Generate a chunked response if the origin server has previously returned HTTP/1.1. ``3`` Generate a chunked response if the client request is HTTP/1.1 and the origin server has previously returned HTTP/1.1. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.chunking.size INT 4096 :overridable: If chunked transfer encoding is enabled with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.chunking_enabled`, and the conditions specified by that option's setting are met by the current request, this option determines the size of the chunks, in bytes, to use when sending content to an HTTP/1.1 client. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.send_http11_requests INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies when and how |TS| uses HTTP/1.1 to communicate with the origin server. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Never use HTTP/1.1. ``1`` Always use HTTP/1.1. ``2`` Use HTTP/1.1 with origin connections only if the server has previously returned HTTP/1.1. ``3`` If the client request is HTTP/1.1 and the origin server has previously returned HTTP/1.1, then use HTTP/1.1 for origin server connections. ===== ====================================================================== .. note:: If :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.use_client_target_addr` is set to ``1``, then options ``2`` and ``3`` for this configuration variable cause the proxy to use the client HTTP version for upstream requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.auth_server_session_private INT 1 :overridable: If enabled (``1``) anytime a request contains a ``Authorization``, ``Proxy-Authorization``, or ``Www-Authenticate`` header the connection will be closed and not reused. This marks the connection as private. When disabled (``0``) the connection will be available for reuse. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.match STRING both :overridable: Enable and set the ability to re-use server connections across client connections. Multiple values can be specified when separated by commas with no white spaces. Valid values are: ============= =================================================================== Value Description ============= =================================================================== ``none`` Do not match and do not re-use server sessions. ``ip`` Re-use server sessions, checking only that the IP address and port of the origin server matches. ``host`` Re-use server sessions, checking that the fully qualified domain name matches. In addition, if the session uses TLS, it also checks that the current transaction's host header value matches the session's SNI. ``both`` Equivalent to ``host,ip``. ``hostonly`` Check that the fully qualified domain name matches. ``sni`` Check that the SNI of the session matches the SNI that would be used to create a new session. Only applicable for TLS sessions. ``cert`` Check that the certificate file name used for the server session matches the certificate file name that would be used for the new server session. Only applicable for TLS sessions. ============= =================================================================== The setting must contain at least one of ``ip``, ``host``, ``hostonly`` or ``both`` for session reuse to operate. The other values may be used for greater control with TLS session reuse. .. note:: Server sessions to different upstream ports never match even if the FQDN and IP address match. .. note:: :ts:cv:`Upstream session tracking ` uses a similar set of options for matching sessions, but is :ts:cv:`set independently ` from session sharing. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.pool STRING thread Control the scope of server session re-use if it is enabled by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.match`. Valid values are: ========== ================================================================= Value Description ========== ================================================================= ``global`` Re-use sessions from a global pool of all server sessions. ``thread`` Re-use sessions from a per-thread pool. ``hybrid`` Try to work as a global pool, but release server sessions to the per-thread pool if there is lock contention on the global pool. ========== ================================================================= Setting :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.pool` to global can reduce the number of connections to origin for some traffic loads. However, if many execute threads are active, the thread contention on the global pool can reduce the lifetime of connections to origin and reduce effective origin connection reuse. For a hybrid pool, the operation starts as the global pool, but sessons are returned to the local thread pool if the global pool lock is not acquired rather than just closing the origin connection as is the case in standard global mode. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.attach_server_session_to_client INT 0 :overridable: Control the re-use of an server session by a user agent (client) session. Currently only applies to user agents using HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1. For other HTTP versions, the origin connection is always returned to the session sharing pool or closed. If a user agent performs more than one HTTP transaction on its connection to |TS| a server session must be obtained for the second (and subsequent) transaction as for the first. This settings affects how that server session is selected. If this setting is ``0`` then after the first transaction the server session for that transaction is released to the server pool (if any). When a server session is needed for subsequent transactions one is selected from the server pool or created if there is no suitable server session in the pool. If this setting is not ``0`` then the current server session for the user agent session is "sticky". It will be preferred to any other server session (either from the pool or newly created). The server session will be detached from the user agent session only if it cannot be used for the transaction. This is determined by the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.match` value. If the server session matches the next transaction according to this setting then it will be used, otherwise it will be released to the pool and a different session selected or created. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.max_proxy_cycles INT 0 :overridable: Control the proxy cycle detection function in the following manner -- If this setting is ``0``, then next hop is self IP address and port detection is active. In addition, the proxy cycle detection using the Via string will declare a cycle if the current cache appears one or more times in the Via string, i.e, > 0. If this setting is ``1`` or more (N), then next hop is self IP address and port detection is inactive. In addition, the proxy cycle detection using the Via string will declare a cycle if the current cache appears more than N times in the Via string, i.e., > N. Examples: If the setting is ``0``, then the second time a request enters a cache it will have its own machine identifier in the Via string once, so a cycle will be detected. So no cycles are allowed. If the setting is ``1``, then the third time a request enters a cache it will have its own machine identifier in the Via string twice, so a cycle will be detected. So one cycle is allowed. The first cycle with two visits to the cache and one instance in the Via string is allowed. The second cycle with three visits to the cache and two instances in the Via string is not allowed. This setting allows an edge cache peering arrangement where an edge cache may forward a request to a peer edge cache (possibly itself) a limited of times (usually once). Infinite loops are still detected when the cycle allowance is exceeded. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.use_client_target_addr INT 0 For fully transparent ports use the same origin server address as the client. This option causes |TS| to avoid where possible doing DNS lookups in forward transparent proxy mode. The option is only effective if the following three conditions are true: * |TS| is in forward proxy mode. * The proxy port is inbound transparent. * The target URL has not been modified by either remapping or a plugin. If any of these conditions are not true, then normal DNS processing is done for the connection. There are three valid values. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables the feature. ``1`` Enables the feature with address verification. The proxy does the regular DNS processing. If the client-specified origin address is not in the set of addresses found by the proxy, the request continues to the client specified address, but the result is not cached. ``2`` Enables the feature with no address verification. No DNS processing is performed. The result is cached (if allowed otherwise). This option is vulnerable to cache poisoning if an incorrect ``Host`` header is specified, so this option should be used with extreme caution if HTTP caching is enabled. See bug TS-2954 for details. ===== ====================================================================== If all of these conditions are met, then the origin server IP address is retrieved from the original client connection, rather than through HostDB or DNS lookup. In effect, client DNS resolution is used instead of |TS| DNS. This can be used to be a little more efficient (looking up the target once by the client rather than by both the client and |TS|) but the primary use is when client DNS resolution can differ from that of |TS|. Two known uses cases are: #. Embedded IP addresses in a protocol with DNS load sharing. In this case, even though |TS| and the client both make the same request to the same DNS resolver chain, they may get different origin server addresses. If the address is embedded in the protocol then the overall exchange will fail. One current example is Microsoft Windows update, which presumably embeds the address as a security measure. #. The client has access to local DNS zone information which is not available to |TS|. There are corporate nets with local DNS information for internal servers which, by design, is not propagated outside the core corporate network. Depending a network topology it can be the case that |TS| can access the servers by IP address but cannot resolve such addresses by name. In such as case the client supplied target address must be used. This solution must be considered interim. In the longer term, it should be possible to arrange for much finer grained control of DNS lookup so that wildcard domain can be set to use |TS| or client resolution. In both known use cases, marking specific domains as client determined (rather than a single global switch) would suffice. It is possible to do this crudely with this flag by enabling it and then use identity URL mappings to re-disable it for specific domains. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.keep_alive_enabled_in INT 1 :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) incoming keep-alive connections. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.keep_alive_enabled_out INT 1 :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) outgoing keep-alive connections. .. note:: Enabling keep-alive does not automatically enable purging of keep-alive requests when nearing the connection limit, that is controlled by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_max_connections`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.keep_alive_post_out INT 1 :overridable: Controls whether new POST requests re-use keep-alive sessions (``1``) or create new connections per request (``0``). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.disallow_post_100_continue INT 0 Allows you to return a 405 Method Not Supported with Posts also containing an Expect: 100-continue. When a Post w/ Expect: 100-continue is blocked the stat proxy.process.http.disallowed_post_100_continue will be incremented. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.default_buffer_size INT 8 :reloadable: :overridable: Configures the default buffer size, in bytes, to allocate for incoming request bodies which lack a ``Content-length`` header. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.default_buffer_water_mark INT 32768 :reloadable: :overridable: Number of bytes |TS| is allowed to read ahead of the client from the origin. Note that when :ref:`Read While Write ` settings are in place, this setting will apply to the first client to request the object, regardless if subsequent, simultaneous clients of that object can read faster. The buffered bytes will consume memory while waiting for the client to consume them. While this setting is reloadable, dramatic changes can cause bigger memory usage than expected and is thus not recommended. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.request_buffer_enabled INT 0 :overridable: This enables buffering the content for incoming ``POST`` requests. If enabled no outbound connection is made until the entire ``POST`` request has been buffered. If enabled, `proxy.config.http.post_copy_size` needs to be set to the maximum of the post body size allowed, otherwise, the post would fail. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.request_line_max_size INT 65535 :reloadable: Controls the maximum size, in bytes, of an HTTP Request Line in requests. Requests with a request line exceeding this size will be treated as invalid and rejected by the proxy. Note that the HTTP request line typically includes HTTP method, request target and HTTP version string except when the request is made using absolute URI in which case the request line may also include the request scheme and domain name. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.header_field_max_size INT 131070 :reloadable: Controls the maximum size, in bytes, of an HTTP header field in requests. Headers in a request with the sum of their name and value that exceed this size will cause the entire request to be treated as invalid and rejected by the proxy. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.request_header_max_size INT 131072 :overridable: :reloadable: Controls the maximum size, in bytes, of an HTTP header in requests. Headers in a request which exceed this size will cause the entire request to be treated as invalid and rejected by the proxy. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.response_header_max_size INT 131072 :overridable: :reloadable: Controls the maximum size, in bytes, of headers in HTTP responses from the proxy. Any responses with a header exceeding this limit will be treated as invalid and a client error will be returned instead. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.global_user_agent_header STRING null :overridable: An arbitrary string value that, if set, will be used to replace any request ``User-Agent`` header. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.strict_uri_parsing INT 2 Takes a value between 0 and 2. ``0`` disables strict_uri_parsing. Any character can appears in the URI. ``1`` causes |TS| to return 400 Bad Request if client's request URI includes character which is not RFC 3986 compliant. ``2`` directs |TS| to reject the clients request if it contains whitespace or non-printable characters. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.errors.log_error_pages INT 1 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) the logging of responses to bad requests to the error logging destination. Disabling this option prevents error responses (such as ``403``\ s) from appearing in the error logs. Any HTTP response status codes equal to, or higher, than the minimum code defined by :c:data:`TS_HTTP_STATUS_BAD_REQUEST` are affected by this setting. Parent Proxy Configuration ========================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.retry_time INT 300 :reloadable: :overridable: The amount of time allowed between connection retries to a parent cache that is unavailable. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.max_trans_retries INT 2 Limits the number of simultaneous transactions that may retry a parent once the parents ``retry_time`` has expired. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.fail_threshold INT 10 :reloadable: :overridable: The number of times the connection to the parent cache can fail before |TS| considers the parent unavailable. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.total_connect_attempts INT 4 :reloadable: :overridable: The total number of connection attempts for a specific transaction allowed to a parent cache before |TS| bypasses the parent or fails the request (depending on the ``go_direct`` option in the :file:`parent.config` file). The number of parents tried is ``proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.fail_threshold / proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.total_connect_attempts`` .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.per_parent_connect_attempts INT 2 :reloadable: :overridable: The total number of connection attempts allowed per parent for a specific transaction, if multiple parents are used. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.connect_attempts_timeout INT 30 :reloadable: :overridable: The timeout value (in seconds) for parent cache connection attempts. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.mark_down_hostdb INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) marking parent proxies down in hostdb when a connection error is detected. Normally parent selection manages parent proxies and will mark them as unavailable as needed. But when parents are defined in dns with multiple ip addresses, it may be useful to mark the failing ip down in hostdb. In this case you would enable these updates. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.forward.proxy_auth_to_parent INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Configures |TS| to send proxy authentication headers on to the parent cache. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.no_dns_just_forward_to_parent INT 0 :reloadable: Don't try to resolve DNS, forward all DNS requests to the parent. This is off (``0``) by default. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.local.http.parent_proxy.disable_connect_tunneling INT 0 .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.self_detect INT 2 For each host that has been specified in a ``parent`` or ``secondary_parent`` list in the :file:`parent.config` file, determine if the host is the same as the current host. Obvious examples include ``localhost`` and ``127.0.0.1``. If a match is found, take an action depending upon the value below. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables the feature by not checking for matches. ``1`` Remove the matching host from the list. ``2`` Mark the host down. This is the default. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.enable_parent_timeout_markdowns INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) parent proxy mark downs due to inactivity timeouts. By default parent proxies are not marked down due to inactivity timeouts, the transaction will retry using another parent instead. The default for this configuration keeps this behavior and is disabled (``0``). This setting is overridable using one of the two plugins ``header_rewrite`` or ``conf_remap`` to enable inactivity timeout markdowns and should be done so rather than enabling this globally. This setting should not be used in conjunction with ``proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.disable_parent_markdowns`` .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.disable_parent_markdowns INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) parent proxy markdowns. This is useful if parent entries in a parent.config line are VIP's and one doesn't wish to mark down a VIP which may have several origin or parent proxies behind the load balancer. This setting is overridable using one of the ``header_rewrite`` or the ``conf_remap`` plugins to override the default setting and this method should be used rather than disabling markdowns globally. This setting should not be used in conjunction with ``proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.enable_parent_timeout_markdowns`` HTTP Connection Timeouts ======================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.keep_alive_no_activity_timeout_in INT 120 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| keeps connections to clients open for a subsequent request after a transaction ends. A value of ``0`` will set `proxy.config.net.default_inactivity_timeout` as the timeout. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.keep_alive_no_activity_timeout_out INT 120 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| keeps connections to origin servers open for a subsequent transfer of data after a transaction ends. A value of ``0`` will set `proxy.config.net.default_inactivity_timeout` as the timeout. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.transaction_no_activity_timeout_in INT 30 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| keeps connections to clients open if a transaction stalls. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.transaction_no_activity_timeout_out INT 30 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| keeps connections to origin servers open if the transaction stalls. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.websocket.no_activity_timeout INT 600 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| keeps connections open if a websocket stalls. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.websocket.active_timeout INT 3600 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum amount of time |TS| keeps websocket connections open. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.transaction_active_timeout_in INT 900 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum amount of time |TS| can remain connected to a client. If the transfer to the client is not complete before this timeout expires, then |TS| closes the connection. The value of ``0`` specifies that there is no timeout. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.transaction_active_timeout_out INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum amount of time |TS| waits for fulfillment of a connection request to an origin server. If |TS| does not complete the transfer to the origin server before this timeout expires, then |TS| terminates the connection request. The default value of ``0`` specifies that there is no timeout. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.accept_no_activity_timeout INT 120 :reloadable: The timeout interval in seconds before |TS| closes a connection that has no activity. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.background_fill_active_timeout INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long |TS| continues a background fill before giving up and dropping the origin server connection. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.background_fill_completed_threshold FLOAT 0.0 :reloadable: :overridable: The proportion of total document size already transferred when a client aborts at which the proxy continues fetching the document from the origin server to get it into the cache (a **background fill**). HTTP Redirection ================ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: This setting determines the maximum number of times Trafficserver does a redirect follow location on receiving a 3XX Redirect response for a given client request. .. note:: When :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections` is set to a positive value and |TS| has previously cached a 3XX Redirect response, the cached response will continue to be refreshed and returned until the response is no longer in the cache. .. note:: In previous versions proxy.config.http.redirection_enabled had to be set to 1 before this setting was evaluated. Now setting :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections` to a value greater than zero is sufficient to cause |TS| to follow redirects. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.redirect_host_no_port INT 1 :reloadable: This setting enables Trafficserver to not include the port in the Host header in the redirect follow request for default/standard ports (e.g. 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). Note that the port is still included in the Host header if it's non-default. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.redirect_use_orig_cache_key INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: This setting enables Trafficserver to allow using original request cache key (for example, set using a TS API) during a 3xx redirect follow. The default behavior (0) is to use the URL specified by Location header in the 3xx response as the cache key. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.post_copy_size INT 2048 :reloadable: This setting determines the maximum size in bytes of uploaded content to be buffered for HTTP methods such as POST and PUT. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.redirect.actions STRING routable:follow :reloadable: This setting determines how redirects should be handled. The setting consists of a comma-separated list of key-value pairs, where the keys are named IP address ranges and the values are actions. The following are valid keys: ============= =============================================================== Key Description ============= =============================================================== ``self`` Addresses of the host's interfaces ``loopback`` IPv4 ``127.0.0.0/8`` and IPv6 ``::1`` ``private`` IPv4 ``10.0.0.0/8`` ``100.64.0.0/10`` ``172.16.0.0/12`` ``192.168.0.0/16`` and IPv6 ``fc00::/7`` ``multicast`` IPv4 ``224.0.0.0/4`` and IPv6 ``ff00::/8`` ``linklocal`` IPv4 ``169.254.0.0/16`` and IPv6 ``fe80::/10`` ``routable`` All publicly routable addresses ``default`` All address ranges not configured specifically ============= =============================================================== The following are valid values: ========== ================================================================== Value Description ========== ================================================================== ``return`` Do not process the redirect, send it as the proxy response. ``reject`` Do not process the redirect, send a 403 as the proxy response. ``follow`` Internally follow the redirect up to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections`. **Use this setting with caution!** ========== ================================================================== .. warning:: Following a redirect to other than ``routable`` addresses can be dangerous, as it allows the controller of an origin to arrange a probe the |TS| host. Enabling these redirects makes |TS| open to third party attacks and probing and therefore should be considered only in known safe environments. For example, a setting of ``loopback:reject,private:reject,routable:follow,default:return`` would send ``403`` as the proxy response to loopback and private addresses, routable addresses would be followed up to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections`, and redirects to all other ranges will be sent as the proxy response. The action for ``self`` has the highest priority when an address would match multiple keys, and the action for ``default`` has the lowest priority. Other keys represent disjoint sets of addresses that will not conflict. If duplicate keys are present in the setting, the right-most key-value pair is used. The default value is ``routable:follow``, which means "follow routable redirects, return all other redirects". Note that :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.number_of_redirections` must be positive also, otherwise redirects will be returned rather than followed. Origin Server Connect Attempts ============================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries INT 3 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum number of connection retries |TS| can make when the origin server is not responding. Each retry attempt lasts for `proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_timeout`_ seconds. Once the maximum number of retries is reached, the origin is marked dead (as controlled by `proxy.config.http.connect.dead.policy`_. After this, the setting `proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries_dead_server`_ is used to limit the number of retry attempts to the known dead origin. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries_dead_server INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Maximum number of connection attempts |TS| can make while an origin is marked dead per request. Typically this value is smaller than `proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_max_retries`_ so an error is returned to the client faster and also to reduce the load on the dead origin. The timeout interval `proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_timeout`_ in seconds is used with this setting. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.connect.dead.policy INT 2 :overridable: Controls what origin server connection failures contribute to marking a server dead. When set to 2, any connection failure during the TCP and TLS handshakes will contribute to marking the server dead. When set to 1, only TCP handshake failures will contribute to marking a server dead. When set to 0, no connection failures will be used towards marking a server dead. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_max_connections INT 0 :reloadable: Limits the number of socket connections across all origin servers to the value specified. To disable, set to zero (``0``). This value is used in determining when and if to prune active origin sessions. Without this value set, connections to origins can consume all the way up to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.net.connections_throttle` connections, which in turn can starve incoming requests from available connections. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.max INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Set a limit for the number of concurrent connections to an upstream server group. A value of ``0`` disables checking. If a transaction attempts to connect to a group which already has the maximum number of concurrent connections the transaction either rechecks after a delay or a 503 (``HTTP_STATUS_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE``) error response is sent to the user agent. To configure Number of transactions that can be delayed concurrently See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.queue_size`. How long to delay before rechecking See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.queue_delay`. Upstream server group definition See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.match`. Frequency of alerts See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.alert_delay`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.match STRING both :reloadable: :overridable: Control the definition of an upstream server group for :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.max`. This must be one of the following keywords. ip Group by IP address. Each IP address is a group. port Group by IP address and port. Each distinct IP address and port pair is a group. host Group by host name. The host name is the post remap FQDN used to resolve the upstream address. both Group by IP address, port, and host name. Each distinct combination is a group. To disable upstream server grouping, set :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.max` to ``0``. .. note:: This setting is independent of the :ts:cv:`setting for upstream session sharing matching `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.queue_size INT 0 :reloadable: Controls the number of transactions that can be waiting on an upstream server group. ``-1`` Unlimited. ``0`` Never wait. If the connection maximum has been reached immediately respond with an error. A positive number If there are less than this many waiting transactions, delay this transaction and try again. Otherwise respond immediately with an error. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.queue_delay INT 100 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds If a transaction is delayed due to too many connections in an upstream server group, delay this amount of time before checking again. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.alert_delay INT 60 :reloadable: :units: seconds Throttle alerts per upstream server group to be no more often than this many seconds. Summary data is provided per alert to allow log scrubbing to generate accurate data. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.per_server.connection.min INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Set a target for the minimum number of active connections to an upstream server group. When an outbound connection is in keep alive state and the inactivity timer expires, if there are fewer than this many connections in the group a new connection the timer is reset instead of closing the connection. Useful when the origin supports keep-alive, removing the time needed to set up a new connection from the next request at the expense of added (inactive) connections. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_rr_retries INT 3 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum number of failed connection attempts allowed before a round-robin entry is marked as 'down' if a server has round-robin DNS entries. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.connect_attempts_timeout INT 30 :reloadable: :overridable: The timeout value (in seconds) for time to set up a connection to the origin. After the connection is established the value of ``proxy.config.http.transaction_no_activity_timeout_out`` is used to established timeouts on the data over the connection. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.post_connect_attempts_timeout INT 1800 :reloadable: :overridable: The timeout value (in seconds) for an origin server connection when the client request is a ``POST`` or ``PUT`` request. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.post.check.content_length.enabled INT 1 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) checking the Content-Length: Header for a POST request. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.down_server.cache_time INT 60 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how long (in seconds) |TS| remembers that an origin server was unreachable. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.uncacheable_requests_bypass_parent INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (1), |TS| bypasses the parent proxy for a request that is not cacheable. Congestion Control ================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.flow_control.enabled INT 0 :overridable: Transaction buffering / flow control is enabled if this is set to a non-zero value. Otherwise no flow control is done. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.flow_control.high_water INT 0 :units: bytes :overridable: The high water mark for transaction buffer control. External source I/O is halted when the total buffer space in use by the transaction exceeds this value. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.flow_control.low_water INT 0 :units: bytes :overridable: The low water mark for transaction buffer control. External source I/O is resumed when the total buffer space in use by the transaction is no more than this value. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.websocket.max_number_of_connections INT -1 :reloadable: When enabled >= (``0``), |TS| will enforce a maximum number of simultaneous websocket connections. .. _admin-negative-response-caching: Negative Response Caching ========================= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.negative_caching_enabled INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| caches negative responses (such as ``404 Not Found``) when a requested page does not exist. The next time a client requests the same page, |TS| serves the negative response directly from cache. When disabled (``0``), |TS| will only cache the response if the response has ``Cache-Control`` headers. The following negative responses are cached by |TS| by default: ====================== ===================================================== HTTP Response Code Description ====================== ===================================================== ``204`` No Content ``305`` Use Proxy ``403`` Forbidden ``404`` Not Found ``414`` URI Too Long ``500`` Internal Server Error ``501`` Not Implemented ``502`` Bad Gateway ``503`` Service Unavailable ``504`` Gateway Timeout ====================== ===================================================== The cache lifetime for objects cached from this setting is controlled via :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.negative_caching_lifetime`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.negative_caching_lifetime INT 1800 :reloadable: :overridable: How long (in seconds) |TS| keeps the negative responses valid in cache. This value only affects negative responses that do NOT have explicit ``Expires:`` or ``Cache-Control:`` lifetimes set by the server. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.negative_caching_list STRING 204 305 403 404 414 500 501 502 503 504 :reloadable: The HTTP status code for negative caching. Default values are mentioned above. The unwanted status codes can be taken out from the list. Other status codes can be added. The variable is a list but parsed as STRING. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.negative_revalidating_enabled INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Negative revalidating allows |TS| to return stale content if revalidation to the origin fails due to network or HTTP errors. If it is enabled, rather than caching the negative response, the current stale content is preserved and served. Note this is considered only on a revalidation of already cached content. A revalidation failure means a connection failure or a 50x response code. When considering replying with a stale response in these negative revalidating circumstances, |TS| will respect the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.max_stale_age` configuration and will not use a cached response older than ``max_stale_age`` seconds. A value of ``0`` disables serving stale content and a value of ``1`` enables keeping and serving stale content if revalidation fails. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.negative_revalidating_lifetime INT 1800 When replying with a stale cached response in negative revalidating circumstances (see :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.negative_revalidating_enabled`), |TS| includes an ``Expires:`` HTTP header field in the cached response with a future time so that upstream caches will not try to revalidate their respective stale objects. This configuration specifies how many seconds in the future |TS| will calculate the value of this inserted ``Expires:`` header field. There is a limitation to this method to be aware of: per specification (see IETF RFC 7234, section 4.2.1), ``Cache-Control:`` response directives take precedence over the ``Expires:`` header field when determining object freshness. Thus if the cached response contains either a ``max-age`` or an ``s-maxage`` ``Cache-Control:`` response directive, then these directives would take precedence for the upstream caches over the inserted ``Expires:`` field, rendering the ``Expires:`` header ineffective in specifying the configured freshness lifetime. Finally, be aware that the only way this configuration is used is as input into calculating the value of these inserted ``Expires:`` header fields. This configuration does not direct |TS| behavior with regard to whether it considers a stale object to be fresh enough to serve out of cache when revalidation fails. As mentioned above in :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.negative_revalidating_enabled`, :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.max_stale_age` is used for that determination. This configuration defaults to 1,800 seconds (30 minutes). Proxy User Variables ==================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_remove_from INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| removes the ``From`` header to protect the privacy of your users. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_remove_referer INT 0 :reloadable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| removes the ``Referrer`` header to protect the privacy of your site and users. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_remove_user_agent INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| removes the ``User-agent`` header to protect the privacy of your site and users. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_remove_cookie INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| removes the ``Cookie`` header to protect the privacy of your site and users. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_remove_client_ip INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| removes ``Client-IP`` headers for more privacy. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_client_ip INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies whether |TS| inserts ``Client-IP`` headers to retain the client IP address: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Don't insert the ``Client-ip`` header ``1`` Insert the ``Client-ip`` header, but only if the UA did not send one ``2`` Always insert the ``Client-ip`` header ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.anonymize_other_header_list STRING NULL :reloadable: Comma separated list of headers |TS| should remove from outgoing requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_squid_x_forwarded_for INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| adds the client IP address to the ``X-Forwarded-For`` header. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.insert_forwarded STRING none :reloadable: :overridable: The default value (``none``) means that |TS| does not insert or append information to any ``Forwarded`` header (described in IETF RFC 7239) in the request message. To put information into a ``Forwarded`` header in the request, the value of this variable must be a list of the ``Forwarded`` parameters to be inserted. ================== =============================================================== Parameter Value of parameter place in outgoing Forwarded header ================== =============================================================== for Client IP address by=ip Proxy IP address by=unknown The literal string ``unknown`` by=servername Proxy server name by=uuid Server UUID prefixed with ``_`` proto Protocol of incoming request host The host specified in the incoming request connection=compact Connection with basic transaction codes. connection=std Connection with detailed transaction codes. connection=full Full user agent connection :ref:`protocol tags ` ================== =============================================================== Each parameter in the list must be separated by ``|`` or ``:``. For example, ``for|by=uuid|proto`` is a valid value for this variable. Note that the ``connection`` parameter is a non-standard extension to RFC 7239. Also note that, while |TS| allows multiple ``by`` parameters for the same proxy, this is prohibited by RFC 7239. Currently, for the ``host`` parameter to provide the original host from the incoming client request, `proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr`_ must be enabled. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.proxy_protocol_allowlist STRING `````` This defines a allowlist of server IPs that are trusted to provide connections with Proxy Protocol information. This is a comma delimited list of IP addresses. Addressed may be listed individually, in a range separated by a dash or by using CIDR notation. ======================= =========================================================== Example Effect ======================= =========================================================== ``10.0.2.123`` A single IP Address. ``10.0.3.1-10.0.3.254`` A range of IP address. ``10.0.4.0/24`` A range of IP address specified by CIDR notation. ======================= =========================================================== .. important:: If Proxy Protocol is enabled on the port, but this directive is not defined any server may initiate a connection with Proxy Protocol information. See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_ports` for information on how to enable Proxy Protocol on a port. See :ref:`proxy-protocol` for more discussion on how |TS| transforms the `Forwarded: header`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.proxy_protocol_out INT -1 :reloadable: :overridable: Set the behavior of outbound PROXY Protocol. =========== ====================================================================== Value Description =========== ====================================================================== ``-1`` Disable (default) ``0`` Forward received PROXY protocol to the next hop ``1`` Send client information in PROXY protocol version 1 ``2`` Send client information in PROXY protocol version 2 =========== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.normalize_ae INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies normalization, if any, of ``Accept-Encoding:`` headers. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` No normalization. ``1`` ``Accept-Encoding: gzip`` (if the header has ``gzip`` or ``x-gzip`` with any ``q``) **OR** *blank* (for any header that does not include ``gzip``) ``2`` ``Accept-Encoding: br`` if the header has ``br`` (with any ``q``) **ELSE** normalize as for value ``1`` ``3`` ``Accept-Encoding: br, gzip`` (if the header has ``br`` and ``gzip`` (with any ``q`` for either) then ``br, gzip``) **ELSE** normalize as for value ``2`` ===== ====================================================================== This is useful for minimizing cached alternates of documents (e.g. ``gzip, deflate`` vs. ``deflate, gzip``). Enabling this option is recommended if your origin servers use no encodings other than ``gzip`` or ``br`` (Brotli). Security ======== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.push_method_enabled INT 0 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) the HTTP ``PUSH`` option, which allows you to deliver content directly to the cache without a user request. .. important:: If you enable this option, then you must also specify a filtering rule in the ip_allow.yaml file to allow only certain machines to push content into the cache. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.max_post_size INT 0 :reloadable: This feature is disabled by default with a value of (``0``), any positive value will limit the size of post bodies. If a request is received with a post body larger than this limit the response will be terminated with 413 - Request Entity Too Large and logged accordingly. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.allow_multi_range INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: This option allows the administrator to configure different behavior and handling of requests with multiple ranges in the ``Range`` header. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Do not allow multiple ranges, effectively ignoring the ``Range`` header ``1`` Allows multiple ranges. This can be potentially dangerous since well formed requests can cause excessive resource consumption on the server. ``2`` Similar to 0, except return a 416 error code and no response body. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.host_sni_policy INT 2 This option controls how host header and SNI name mismatches are handled. Mismatches may result in SNI-based policies defined in :file:`sni.yaml` being avoided. For example, ``foo.com`` may be the fqdn value in :file:`sni.yaml` which defines that client certificates are required. The user could specify ``bar.com`` as the SNI to avoid the policy requiring the client certificate but specify ``foo.com`` as the HTTP host header to still access the same object. Therefore, if a host header would have triggered a SNI policy, it is possible that the user is trying to bypass a SNI policy if the host header and SNI values do not match. If this setting is 0, no checking is performed. If this setting is 1 or 2, the host header and SNI values are compared if the host header value would have triggered a SNI policy. If there is a mismatch and the value is 1, a warning is generated but the transaction is allowed to proceed. If the value is 2 and there is a mismatch, a warning is generated and a status 403 is returned. Note that SNI and hostname consistency checking is not performed on all connections indiscriminately, even if this global ``proxy.config.http.host_sni_policy`` is set to a value of 1 or 2. It is only performed for connections to hosts specifying ``verify_client`` and/or ``ip_allow`` policies in :file:`sni.yaml`. That is, the SNI and hostname mismatch check is only performed if a relevant security policy for the SNI is set in :file:`sni.yaml`. The ``proxy.config.http.host_sni_policy`` :file:`records.config` value is used as the default value if either of these policies is set in the corresponding :file:`sni.yaml` file entry and the :file:`sni.yaml` entry does not override this value via a :ref:`host_sni_policy` attribute. Cache Control ============= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.enable_read_while_writer INT 1 :reloadable: Specifies when to enable the ability to read a cached object while another connection is completing the write to cache for that same object. The goal here is to avoid multiple origin connections for the same cacheable object upon a cache miss. The possible values of this config are: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Never read while writing. ``1`` Always read while writing. ``2`` Always read while writing, but allow non-cached ``Range`` requests through to the origin server. ===== ====================================================================== The ``2`` option is useful to avoid delaying requests which can not easily be satisfied by the partially written response. Several other configuration values need to be set for this to be usable. See :ref:`admin-configuration-reducing-origin-requests`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.read_while_writer.max_retries INT 10 :reloadable: Specifies how many retries trafficserver attempts to trigger read_while_writer on failing to obtain the write VC mutex or until the first fragment is downloaded for the object being downloaded. The retry duration is specified using the setting :ts:cv:`proxy.config.cache.read_while_writer_retry.delay` .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.read_while_writer_retry.delay INT 50 :reloadable: Specifies the delay in msec, trafficserver waits to reattempt read_while_writer on failing to obtain the write VC mutex or until the first fragment is downloaded for the object being downloaded. Note that trafficserver implements a progressive delay in reattempting, by doubling the configured duration from the third reattempt onwards. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.force_sector_size INT 0 :reloadable: Forces the use of a specific hardware sector size, e.g. 4096, for all disks. SSDs and "advanced format" drives claim a sector size of 512; however, it is safe to force a higher size than the hardware supports natively as we count atomicity in 512 byte increments. 4096-sized drives formatted for Windows will have partitions aligned on 63 512-byte sector boundaries, so they will be unaligned. There are workarounds, but you need to do some research on your particular drive. Some drives have a one-time option to switch the partition boundary, while others might require reformatting or repartitioning. To be safe in Linux, you could just use the entire drive: ``/dev/sdb`` instead of ``/dev/sdb1`` and |TS| will do the right thing. Misaligned partitions on Linux are auto-detected. For example: If ``/sys/block/sda/sda1/alignment_offset`` is non-zero, ATS will offset reads/writes to that disk by that alignment. If Linux knows about any existing partition misalignments, ATS will compensate. Partitions formatted to support hardware sector size of more than 512 (e.g. 4096) will result in all objects stored in the cache to be integral multiples of 4096 bytes, which will result in some waste for small files. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.http INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) caching of HTTP requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.post_method INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) caching of HTTP POST requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.generation INT -1 :reloadable: :overridable: If set to a value other than ``-1``, the value if this configuration option is combined with the cache key at cache lookup time. Changing this value has the effect of an instantaneous, zero-cost cache purge since it will cause all subsequent cache keys to change. Since this is an overridable configuration, it can be used to purge the entire cache, or just a specific :file:`remap.config` rule. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.doc_in_cache_skip_dns INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), do not perform origin server DNS resolution if a fresh copy of the requested document is available in the cache. This setting has no effect if HTTP caching is disabled or if there are IP based ACLs configured. Note that plugins, particularly authorization plugins, which use the :c:data:`TS_HTTP_OS_DNS_HOOK` hook may require this configuration variable to be disabled (``0``) in order to function properly. This will ensure that the hook will be evaluated and plugin execution will occur even when there is a fresh copy of the requested object in the cache (which would normally allow the DNS lookup to be skipped, thus eliminating the hook evaluation). The downside is that the performance gain by skipping otherwise unnecessary DNS lookups is lost. Because the variable is overridable, you may retain this performance benefit for portions of your cache which do not require the use of :c:data:`TS_HTTP_OS_DNS_HOOK` plugins, by ensuring that the setting is first disabled within only the relevant transactions. Refer to the documentation on :ref:`admin-plugins-conf-remap` for more information. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_client_no_cache INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| ignores client requests to bypass the cache. Specifically, ``Pragma: no-cache``, ``Cache-Control: no-cache`` and ``Cache-Control: no-store`` in requests are ignored. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ims_on_client_no_cache INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| issues a conditional request to the origin server if an incoming request has a ``No-Cache`` header. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_server_no_cache INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| ignores origin server requests to bypass the cache. Specifically, ``Pragma: no-cache``, ``Cache-Control: no-cache`` and ``Cache-Control: no-store`` in responses are ignored. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.cache_responses_to_cookies INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies how cookies are cached: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Do not cache any responses to cookies. ``1`` Cache for any content-type. ``2`` Cache only for image types. ``3`` Cache for all but text content-types. ``4`` Cache for all but text content-types; except origin server response without ``Set-Cookie`` or with ``Cache-Control: public``. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_authentication INT 0 :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| ignores ``WWW-Authentication`` headers in responses and the responses are cached. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.cache_urls_that_look_dynamic INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) caching of URLs that look dynamic, i.e.: URLs that end in ``.asp`` or contain a question mark (``?``), a semicolon (``;``), or ``cgi``. For a full list, please refer to `HttpTransact::url_looks_dynamic `_ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.when_to_revalidate INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies when to revalidate content: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Use cache directives or heuristic (the default value). ``1`` Stale if heuristic. ``2`` Always stale (always revalidate). ``3`` Never stale. ``4`` Use cache directives or heuristic (0) unless the request has an ``If-Modified-Since`` header. ===== ====================================================================== If the request contains the ``If-Modified-Since`` header, then |TS| always revalidates the cached content and uses the client's ``If-Modified-Since`` header for the proxy request. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.required_headers INT 2 :reloadable: :overridable: The type of headers required in a request for the request to be cacheable. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` No headers required to make document cacheable. ``1`` Either the ``Last-Modified`` header, or an explicit lifetime header (``Expires`` or ``Cache-Control: max-age``) is required. ``2`` Explicit lifetime is required, from either ``Expires`` or ``Cache-Control: max-age``. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.max_stale_age INT 604800 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum age in seconds allowed for a stale response before it cannot be cached. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.guaranteed_min_lifetime INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Establishes a guaranteed minimum lifetime boundary for object freshness. Setting this to ``0`` (default) disables the feature. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.guaranteed_max_lifetime INT 31536000 :reloadable: :overridable: Establishes a guaranteed maximum lifetime boundary for object freshness. Setting this to ``0`` disables the feature. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.range.lookup INT 1 :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| looks up range requests in the cache. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.range.write INT 0 :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| will attempt to write (lock) the URL to cache for a request specifying a range. This is useful when the origin server might ignore a range request and respond with a full (``200``) response. Additionally, this setting will attempt to transform a 200 response from the origin server to a partial (``206``) response, honoring the requested range, while caching the full response. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_accept_mismatch INT 2 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled with a value of ``1``, |TS| serves documents from cache with a ``Content-Type:`` header even if it does not match the ``Accept:`` header of the request. If set to ``2`` (default), this logic only happens in the absence of a ``Vary`` header in the cached response (which is the recommended and safe use). .. note:: This option should only be enabled with ``1`` if you're having problems with caching *and* you origin server doesn't set the ``Vary`` header. Alternatively, if the origin is incorrectly setting ``Vary: Accept`` or doesn't respond with ``406 (Not Acceptable)``, you can also enable this configuration with a ``1``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_accept_language_mismatch INT 2 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled with a value of ``1``, |TS| serves documents from cache with a ``Content-Language:`` header even if it does not match the ``Accept-Language:`` header of the request. If set to ``2`` (default), this logic only happens in the absence of a ``Vary`` header in the cached response (which is the recommended and safe use). .. note:: This option should only be enabled with ``1`` if you're having problems with caching *and* you origin server doesn't set the ``Vary`` header.

If set to ``2`` (default), this logic only happens in the absence of a ``Vary`` header in the cached response (which is the recommended and safe use). .. note:: This option should only be enabled with ``1`` if you're having problems with caching *and* you origin server doesn't set the ``Vary`` header. Alternatively, if the origin is incorrectly setting ``Vary: Accept-Encoding`` or doesn't respond with ``406 (Not Acceptable)`` you can also enable this configuration with a ``1``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_accept_charset_mismatch INT 2 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled with a value of ``1``, |TS| serves documents from cache with a ``Content-Type:`` header even if it does not match the ``Accept-Charset:`` header of the request. If set to ``2`` (default), this logic only happens in the absence of a ``Vary`` header in the cached response (which is the recommended and safe use). .. note:: This option should only be enabled with ``1`` if you're having problems with caching *and* you origin server doesn't set the ``Vary`` header. Alternatively, if the origin is incorrectly setting ``Vary: Accept-Charset`` or doesn't respond with ``406 (Not Acceptable)``, you can also enable this configuration with a ``1``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_client_cc_max_age INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| ignores any ``Cache-Control: max-age`` headers from the client. This technically violates the HTTP RFC, but avoids a problem where a client can forcefully invalidate a cached object. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.max_doc_size INT 0 Specifies the maximum object size that will be cached. ``0`` is unlimited. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.min_average_object_size INT 8000 Specifies the lower boundary of average object sizes in the cache and is used in determining the number of :term:`directory buckets ` to allocate for the in-memory cache directory. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.permit.pinning INT 0 :reloadable: When enabled (``1``), |TS| will keep certain HTTP objects in the cache for a certain time as specified in cache.config. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.hit_evacuate_percent INT 0 The size of the region (as a percentage of the total content storage in a :term:`cache stripe`) in front of the :term:`write cursor` that constitutes a recent access hit for evacuating the accessed object. When an object is accessed it can be marked for evacuation, that is to be copied over the write cursor and thereby preserved from being overwritten. This is done if it is no more than a specific number of bytes in front of the write cursor. The number of bytes is a percentage of the total number of bytes of content storage in the cache stripe where the object is stored and that percentage is set by this variable. By default, the feature is off (set to 0). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.hit_evacuate_size_limit INT 0 :units: bytes Limit the size of objects that are hit evacuated. Objects larger than the limit are not hit evacuated. A value of 0 disables the limit. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.limits.http.max_alts INT 5 The maximum number of alternates that are allowed for any given URL. Disable by setting to 0. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.log.alternate.eviction INT 0 When enabled (``1``), |TS| will emit a Status level log entry every time an alternate for an object is evicted due to the number of its alternates exceeding the value of :ts:cv:`proxy.config.cache.limits.http.max_alts`. The URI for the evicted alternate is included in the log. This logging may be useful to determine whether :ts:cv:`proxy.config.cache.limits.http.max_alts` is tuned correctly for a given environment. It also provides visibility into alternate eviction for individual objects, which can be helpful for diagnosing unexpected `Vary:` header behavior from particular origins. For further details concerning the caching of alternates, see :ref:`Caching HTTP Alternates `. By default, alternate eviction logging is disabled (set to ``0``). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.target_fragment_size INT 1048576 Sets the target size of a contiguous fragment of a file in the disk cache. When setting this, consider that larger numbers could waste memory on slow connections, but smaller numbers could increase (waste) seeks. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.alt_rewrite_max_size INT 4096 :reloadable: Configures the size, in bytes, of an alternate that will be considered small enough to trigger a rewrite of the resident alt fragment within a write vector. For further details on cache write vectors, refer to the developer documentation for :cpp:class:`CacheVC`. .. ts::cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.mutex_retry_delay INT 2 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds The retry delay for missing a lock on a mutex in the cache component. This is used generically for most locks, except those that have an explicit configuration for the retry delay. For instance, if the cache component is notifying another continuation of a cache event and fails to get the lock for that continuation, it will use this as the delay for the retry. This is also used from the asynchronous IO threads when IO finishes and the ``CacheVC`` lock or stripe lock is required. RAM Cache ========= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size INT -1 By default the RAM cache size is automatically determined, based on disk cache size; approximately 10 MB of RAM cache per GB of disk cache. Alternatively, it can be set to a fixed value such as **20GB** (21474836480) .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache_cutoff INT 4194304 Objects greater than this size will not be kept in the RAM cache. This should be set high enough to keep objects accessed frequently in memory in order to improve performance. **4MB** (4194304) .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.algorithm INT 1 Two distinct RAM caches are supported, the default (1) being the simpler **LRU** (*Least Recently Used*) cache. As an alternative, the **CLFUS** (*Clocked Least Frequently Used by Size*) is also available, by changing this configuration to 0. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.use_seen_filter INT 1 Enabling this option will filter inserts into the RAM cache to ensure that they have been seen at least once. For the **LRU**, this provides scan resistance. Note that **CLFUS** already requires that a document have history before it is inserted, so for **CLFUS**, setting this option means that a document must be seen three times before it is added to the RAM cache. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.compress INT 0 The **CLFUS** RAM cache also supports an optional in-memory compression. This is not to be confused with ``Content-Encoding: gzip`` compression. The RAM cache compression is intended to try to save space in the RAM, and is not visible to the User-Agent (client). Possible values are: ======== =================================================================== Value Description ======== =================================================================== ``0`` No compression ``1`` Fastlz (extremely fast, relatively low compression) ``2`` Libz (moderate speed, reasonable compression) ``3`` Liblzma (very slow, high compression) ======== =================================================================== Compression runs on task threads. To use more cores for RAM cache compression, increase :ts:cv:`proxy.config.task_threads`. .. _admin-heuristic-expiration: Heuristic Expiration ==================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.heuristic_min_lifetime INT 3600 :reloadable: :overridable: The minimum amount of time, in seconds, an HTTP object without an expiration date can remain fresh in the cache before is considered to be stale. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.heuristic_max_lifetime INT 86400 :reloadable: :overridable: The maximum amount of time, in seconds, an HTTP object without an expiration date can remain fresh in the cache before is considered to be stale. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.heuristic_lm_factor FLOAT 0.10 :reloadable: :overridable: The aging factor for freshness computations. |TS| stores an object for this percentage of the time that elapsed since it last changed. Dynamic Content & Content Negotiation ===================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.open_read_retry_time INT 10 :reloadable: :overridable: The number of milliseconds a cacheable request will wait before requesting the object from cache if an equivalent request is in flight. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_read_retries INT -1 :reloadable: :overridable: The number of times to attempt fetching an object from cache if there was an equivalent request in flight. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_write_retries INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: The number of times to attempt a cache open write upon failure to get a write lock. This config is ignored when :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.open_write_fail_action` is set to ``5`` or :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_write_retry_timeout` is set to gt ``0``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_write_retry_timeout INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: A timeout for attempting a cache open write upon failure to get a write lock. This config is ignored when :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.open_write_fail_action` is set to ``5``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.open_write_fail_action INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: This setting indicates the action taken on failing to obtain the cache open write lock on either a cache miss or a cache hit stale. This typically happens when there is more than one request to the same cache object simultaneously. During such a scenario, all but one (which goes to the origin) request is served either a stale copy or an error depending on this setting. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Default. Disable cache and go to origin server. ``1`` Return a ``502`` error on a cache miss. ``2`` Serve stale if object's age is under :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.max_stale_age`. Otherwise, go to origin server. ``3`` Return a ``502`` error on a cache miss or serve stale on a cache revalidate if object's age is under :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.max_stale_age`. Otherwise, go to origin server. ``4`` Return a ``502`` error on either a cache miss or on a revalidation. ``5`` Retry Cache Read on a Cache Write Lock failure. This option together with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.cache.enable_read_while_writer` configuration allows to collapse concurrent requests without a need for any plugin. Make sure to configure the :ref:`admin-config-read-while-writer` feature correctly. Note that this option may result in CACHE_LOOKUP_COMPLETE HOOK being called back more than once. ===== ====================================================================== Customizable User Response Pages ================================ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.enable_customizations INT 1 Specifies whether customizable response pages are language specific or not: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``1`` Enable customizable user response pages in the default directory only. ``2`` Enable language-targeted user response pages. ``3`` Enable host-targeted user response pages. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.enable_logging INT 0 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) logging for customizable response pages. When enabled, |TS| records a message in the error log each time a customized response page is used or modified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.template_sets_dir STRING etc/trafficserver/body_factory The customizable response page default directory. If this is a relative path, |TS| resolves it relative to the ``PREFIX`` directory. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.template_base STRING "" :reloadable: :overridable: A prefix for the file name to use to find an error template file. If set (not the empty string) this value and an underscore are prepended to the file name to find in the template sets directory. See :ref:`body-factory`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.response_max_size INT 8192 :reloadable: Maximum size of the error template response page. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.body_factory.response_suppression_mode INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Specifies when |TS| suppresses generated response pages: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Never suppress generated response pages. ``1`` Always suppress generated response pages. ``2`` Suppress response pages only for internal traffic. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http_ui_enabled INT 0 Specifies which http Inspector UI endpoints to allow within :file:`remap.config`: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disable all http UI endpoints. ``1`` Enable only Cache Inspector endpoints. ``2`` Enable only stats endpoints. ``3`` Enable all http UI endpoints. ===== ====================================================================== To enable any endpoint there needs to be an entry in :file:`remap.config` which specifically enables it. Such a line would look like: :: map / http://{cache} The following are the cache endpoints: ================ =========================================================== Name Description ================ =========================================================== ``cache`` UI to interact with the cache. ================ =========================================================== The following are the stats endpoints: ================== ========================================================= Name Description ================== ========================================================= ``cache-internal`` Statistics about cache evacuation and volumes. ``hostdb`` Lookups against the hostdb. ``http`` HTTPSM details, this endpoint is also gated by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.enable_http_info`. ``net`` Lookup and listing of open connections. ================== ========================================================= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.enable_http_info INT 0 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) access to an endpoint within :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http_ui_enabled` which shows details about inflight transactions (HttpSM). DNS === .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.search_default_domains INT 0 :Reloadable: |TS| can attempt to resolve unqualified hostnames by expanding to the local domain. For example if a client makes a request to an unqualified host (e.g. ``host_x``) and the |TS| local domain is ``y.com``, then |TS| will expand the hostname to ``host_x.y.com``. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disable local domain expansion. ``1`` Enable local domain expansion. ``2`` Enable local domain expansion, but do not split local domain name. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.splitDNS.enabled INT 0 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) DNS server selection. When enabled, |TS| refers to the :file:`splitdns.config` file for the selection specification. Refer to :ref:`Configuring DNS Server Selection `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.resolv_conf STRING /etc/resolv.conf Allows one to specify which ``resolv.conf`` file to use for finding resolvers. While the format of this file must be the same as the standard ``resolv.conf`` file, this option allows an administrator to manage the set of resolvers in an external configuration file, without affecting how the rest of the operating system uses DNS. Note that this setting works in conjunction with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.dns.nameservers`, with its settings appended to the ``resolv.conf`` contents. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.round_robin_nameservers INT 1 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) DNS server round-robin. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.nameservers STRING NULL :reloadable: The DNS servers. Note that this does not override :ts:cv:`proxy.config.dns.resolv_conf`. That is, the contents of the file listed in :ts:cv:`proxy.config.dns.resolv_conf` will be appended to the list of nameservers specified here. To prevent this, a bogus file can be listed there. .. topic:: Example IPv4 DNS server, loopback and port 9999 :: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.nameservers STRING 127.0.0.1:9999 .. topic:: Example IPv6 DNS server, loopback and port 9999 :: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.nameservers STRING [::1]:9999 .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.srv_enabled INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) the use of SRV records for origin server lookup. |TS| will use weights found in the SRV record as a weighted round robin in origin selection. Note that |TS| will lookup ``_$scheme._$internet_protocol.$origin_name``. For instance, if the origin is set to ``https://my.example.com``, |TS| would lookup ``_https._tcp.my.example.com``. Also note that the port returned in the SRV record MUST match the port being used for the origin (e.g. if the origin scheme is http and a default port, there should be a SRV record with port 80). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.dedicated_thread INT 0 Create and dedicate a thread entirely for DNS processing. This is probably most useful on system which do a significant number of DNS lookups, typically forward proxies. But even on other systems, it can avoid some contention on the first worker thread (which otherwise takes on the burden of all DNS lookups). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.validate_query_name INT 0 When enabled (1) provides additional resilience against DNS forgery (for instance in DNS Injection attacks), particularly in forward or transparent proxies, but requires that the resolver populates the queries section of the response properly. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.connection_mode INT 0 Three connection modes between |TS| and nameservers can be set -- UDP_ONLY, TCP_RETRY, TCP_ONLY. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` UDP_ONLY: |TS| always talks to nameservers over UDP. ``1`` TCP_RETRY: |TS| first UDP, retries with TCP if UDP response is truncated. ``2`` TCP_ONLY: |TS| always talks to nameservers over TCP. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.max_tcp_continuous_failures INT 10 If DNS connection mode is TCP_RETRY, set the threshold of the continuous TCP query failures count for the TCP connection, reset the TCP connection immediately if the continuous TCP query failures conut over the threshold. If the threshold is 0 (or less than 0) we close this feature. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.max_dns_in_flight INT 2048 Maximum inflight DNS queries made by |TS| at any given instant .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.lookup_timeout INT 20 Time to wait for a DNS response in seconds. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.retries INT 5 Maximum number of retries made by |TS| on a given DNS query .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.local_ipv4 STRING NULL Local IPV4 address to bind to in order to make DNS requests .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dns.local_ipv6 STRING NULL Local IPV6 address to bind to in order to make DNS requests HostDB ====== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.lookup_timeout INT 30 :units: seconds :reloadable: Time to wait for a DNS response in seconds. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.serve_stale_for INT :units: seconds :reloadable: The number of seconds for which to use a stale NS record while initiating a background fetch for the new data. If not set then stale records are not served. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.max_size INT 10737418240 :units: bytes The maximum amount of space (in bytes) allocated to ``hostdb``. Setting this value to ``-1`` will disable size limit enforcement. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.max_count INT -1 The maximum number of entries that can be stored in hostdb. A value of ``-1`` disables item count limit enforcement. .. note:: For values above ``200000``, you must increase :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.max_size` by at least 44 bytes per entry. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.round_robin_max_count INT 16 The maximum count of DNS answers per round robin hostdb record. The default variable is 16. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.ttl_mode INT 0 :reloadable: A host entry will eventually time out and be discarded. This variable controls how that time is calculated. A DNS request will return a TTL value and an internal value can be set with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.timeout`. This variable determines which value will be used. ===== ====================================================================== Value TTL ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` The TTL from the DNS response. ``1`` The internal timeout value. ``2`` The smaller of the DNS and internal TTL values. The internal timeout value becomes a maximum TTL. ``3`` The larger of the DNS and internal TTL values. The internal timeout value become a minimum TTL. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.timeout INT 86400 :units: seconds :reloadable: Internal time to live value for host DB entries in seconds. See :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.ttl_mode` for when this value is used. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.fail.timeout INT 0 Time to live value for "failed" hostdb lookups. .. note:: HostDB considers any response that does not contain a response to the query a failure. This means "failure" responses (such as SOA) are subject to this timeout .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.strict_round_robin INT 0 :reloadable: Set host resolution to use strict round robin. When this and :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.timed_round_robin` are both disabled (set to ``0``), |TS| always uses the same origin server for the same client, for as long as the origin server is available. Otherwise if this is set then IP address is rotated on every request. This setting takes precedence over :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.timed_round_robin`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.timed_round_robin INT 0 :reloadable: Set host resolution to use timed round robin. When this and :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.strict_round_robin` are both disabled (set to ``0``), |TS| always uses the same origin server for the same client, for as long as the origin server is available. Otherwise if this is set to *N* the IP address is rotated if more than *N* seconds have passed since the first time the current address was used. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.host_file.path STRING NULL Set the file path for an external host file. If this is set (non-empty) then the file is presumed to be a hosts file in the standard . It is read and the entries there added to the HostDB. The file is periodically checked for a more recent modification date in which case it is reloaded. The interval is set with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.host_file.interval`. While not technically reloadable, the value is read every time the file is to be checked so that if changed the new value will be used on the next check and the file will be treated as modified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.host_file.interval INT 86400 :units: seconds :reloadable: Set the file changed check timer for :ts:cv:`proxy.config.hostdb.host_file.path`. The file is checked every this many seconds to see if it has changed. If so the HostDB is updated with the new values in the file. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.partitions INT 64 The number of partitions for hostdb. If you are seeing lock contention within hostdb's cache (due to a large number of records) you can increase the number of partitions .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.ip_resolve STRING NULL :overridable: Set the host resolution style. This is an ordered list of keywords separated by semicolons that specify how a host name is to be resolved to an IP address. The keywords are case insensitive. ========== ==================================================== Keyword Description ========== ==================================================== ``ipv4`` Resolve to an IPv4 address. ``ipv6`` Resolve to an IPv6 address. ``client`` Resolve to the same family as the client IP address. ``only`` Stop resolving. ========== ==================================================== The order of the keywords is critical. When a host name needs to be resolved it is resolved in same order as the keywords. If a resolution fails, the next option in the list is tried. The keyword ``only`` means to give up resolution entirely. The keyword list has a maximum length of three keywords, more are never needed. By default there is an implicit ``ipv4;ipv6`` attached to the end of the string unless the keyword ``only`` appears. .. topic:: Example Use the incoming client family, then try IPv4 and IPv6. :: client;ipv4;ipv6 Because of the implicit resolution this can also be expressed as just :: client .. topic:: Example Resolve only to IPv4. :: ipv4;only .. topic:: Example Resolve only to the same family as the client (do not permit cross family transactions). :: client;only This value is a global default that can be overridden by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.server_ports`. .. note:: This style is used as a convenience for the administrator. During a resolution the *resolution order* will be one family, then possibly the other. This is determined by changing ``client`` to ``ipv4`` or ``ipv6`` based on the client IP address and then removing duplicates. .. important:: This option has no effect on outbound transparent connections The local IP address used in the connection to the origin server is determined by the client, which forces the IP address family of the address used for the origin server. In effect, outbound transparent connections always use a resolution style of "``client``". .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.verify_after INT 720 Set the interval (in seconds) in which to re-query DNS regardless of TTL status. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.filename STRING host.db The filename to persist hostdb to on disk. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.hostdb.sync_frequency INT 0 Set the frequency (in seconds) to sync hostdb to disk. If set to zero (default as of v9.0.0), we won't sync to disk ever. Note: hostdb is synced to disk on a per-partition basis (of which there are 64). This means that the minimum time to sync all data to disk is :ts:cv:`proxy.config.cache.hostdb.sync_frequency` * 64 Logging Configuration ===================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.logging_enabled INT 3 :reloadable: Enables and disables event logging: ======== =================================================================== Value Effect ======== =================================================================== ``0`` Logging disabled. ``1`` Log errors only. ``2`` Log transactions only. ``3`` Dual logging (errors and transactions). ======== =================================================================== Refer to :ref:`admin-logging` for more information on event logging. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.log_fast_buffer INT 0 :reloadable: Enables ``fast`` logging mode as the default for all log objects. This mode can log larger transaction rates, but log entries will appear out of order in the log output. You can enable ``fast`` mode for individual log objects in ``logging.yaml`` file by adding ``fast: true`` to that object's config. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_secs_per_buffer INT 5 :reloadable: The maximum amount of time before data in the buffer is flushed to disk. .. note:: The effective lower bound to this config is whatever :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.periodic_tasks_interval` is set to. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_for_logs INT 25000 :units: megabytes :reloadable: The amount of space allocated to the logging directory (in MB). The headroom amount specified by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_headroom` is taken from this space allocation. .. note:: All files in the logging directory contribute to the space used, even if they are not log files. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_space_mb_headroom INT 1000 :units: megabytes :reloadable: The tolerance for the log space limit (in megabytes). If the variable :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.auto_delete_rolled_files` is set to ``1`` (enabled), then auto-deletion of log files is triggered when the amount of free space available in the logging directory is less than the value specified here. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.hostname STRING localhost :reloadable: The hostname of the machine running |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.logfile_dir STRING var/log/trafficserver :reloadable: The path to the logging directory. This can be an absolute path or a path relative to the ``PREFIX`` directory in which Traffic Server is installed. .. note:: The directory you specify must already exist. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.logfile_perm STRING rw-r--r-- :reloadable: The log file permissions. The standard UNIX file permissions are used (owner, group, other). Permissible values are: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``-`` No permissions. ``r`` Read permission. ``w`` Write permission. ``x`` Execute permission. ===== ====================================================================== Permissions are subject to the umask settings for the |TS| process. This means that a umask setting of ``002`` will not allow write permission for others, even if specified in the configuration file. Permissions for existing log files are not changed when the configuration is modified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_enabled INT 1 :reloadable: Specifies how log files are rolled. You can specify the following values: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables log file rolling. ``1`` Enables log file rolling at specific intervals during the day (specified with the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.rolling_interval_sec` and :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.rolling_offset_hr` variables). ``2`` Enables log file rolling when log files reach a specific size (specified with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.rolling_size_mb`). ``3`` Enables log file rolling at specific intervals during the day or when log files reach a specific size (whichever occurs first). ``4`` Enables log file rolling at specific intervals during the day when log files reach a specific size (i.e. at a specified time if the file is of the specified size). ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_interval_sec INT 86400 :reloadable: The log file rolling interval, in seconds. The minimum value is ``60`` (1 minute). The maximum, and default, value is 86400 seconds (one day). .. note:: If you start |TS| within a few minutes of the next rolling time, then rolling might not occur until the next rolling time. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_offset_hr INT 0 :reloadable: The file rolling offset hour. The hour of the day that starts the log rolling period. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_size_mb INT 10 :reloadable: The size, in megabytes, that log files must reach before rolling takes place. The minimum value for this setting is ``10``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_min_count INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies the minimum count of rolled (event) logs to keep. This value will be used to decide the order of auto-deletion (if enabled). A default value of 0 means auto-deletion will try to keep logs as much as possible. This value can be and should be overridden in logging.yaml. See :doc:`../logging/rotation.en` for guidance. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_max_count INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies the maximum count of rolled output logs to keep. This value will be used by the auto-deletion (if enabled) to trim the number of rolled log files every time the log is rolled. A default value of 0 means auto-deletion will not try to limit the number of output logs. See :doc:`../logging/rotation.en` for an use-case for this option. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.rolling_allow_empty INT 0 :reloadable: While rolling default behavior is to rename, close and re-open the log file *only* when/if there is something to log to the log file. This option opens a new log file right after rolling even if there is nothing to log (i.e. nothing to be logged due to lack of requests to the server) which may lead to 0-sized log files while rolling. See :doc:`../logging/rotation.en` for an use-case for this option. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` No empty log files created and rolled if there was nothing to log ``1`` Allow empty log files to be created and rolled even if there was nothing to log ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.auto_delete_rolled_files INT 1 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) automatic deletion of rolled files. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.sampling_frequency INT 1 :reloadable: Configures |TS| to log only a sample of transactions rather than every transaction. You can specify the following values: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``1`` Log every transaction. ``2`` Log every second transaction. ``3`` Log every third transaction. *n* ... and so on... ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.periodic_tasks_interval INT 5 :reloadable: :units: seconds How often |TS| executes log related periodic tasks, in seconds .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.proxy.config.log.throttling_interval_msec INT 60000 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds The minimum amount of milliseconds between repeated throttled |TS| log events. A value of 0 implies no throttling. Note that for performance reasons only certain logs are compiled with throttling applied to them. Throttling is applied to all log events for a particular message which is emitted within its throttling interval. That is, once a throttled log is emitted, none will be emitted until the next log event for that message which occurs outside of this configured interval. As mentioned above, this message is applied not broadly but rather to potentially noisy log messages, such as ones that might occur thousands of times a second under certain error conditions. Once the next log event occurs outside of its interval, a summary message is printed conveying how many messages of that type were throttled since the last time it was emitted. It is possible that a log is emitted, followed by more of its type in an interval, then none are emitted after that. Be aware this would result in no summary log message for that interval until the message is emitted again outside of the throttled interval. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.slow.log.threshold INT 0 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds If set to a non-zero value :arg:`N` then any connection that takes longer than :arg:`N` milliseconds from accept to completion will cause its timing stats to be written to the :ts:cv:`debugging log file `. This is identifying data about the transaction and all of the :c:type:`transaction milestones `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.connection.slow.log.threshold INT 0 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds If set to a non-zero value :arg:`N` then any HTTP/2 connection that takes longer than :arg:`N` milliseconds from open to close will cause its timing stats to be written to the :ts:cv:`debugging log file `. This is identifying data about the transaction and all of the :c:type:`transaction milestones `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.stream.slow.log.threshold INT 0 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds If set to a non-zero value :arg:`N` then any HTTP/2 stream that takes longer than :arg:`N` milliseconds from open to close will cause its timing stats to be written to the :ts:cv:`debugging log file `. This is identifying data about the transaction and all of the :c:type:`transaction milestones `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.config.filename STRING logging.yaml :reloadable: :deprecated: This configuration value specifies the path to the :file:`logging.yaml` configuration file. If this is a relative path, |TS| loads it relative to the ``SYSCONFDIR`` directory. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.max_line_size INT 9216 :units: bytes This controls the maximum line length for ``ASCII`` formatted log entries. This applies to ``ASCII_PIPE`` and ``ASCII`` file logs, *unless* :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.ascii_buffer_size` is also specified and the value of ``ascii_buffer_size`` is larger than ``max_line_size``: in that case, ``max_line_size`` only applies to ``ASCII_PIPE`` logs while ``ascii_buffer_size`` will apply to ``ASCII`` (non-pipe) log files. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.ascii_buffer_size INT 36864 :units: bytes This controls the maximum line length for ``ASCII`` formatted log entries that are non-pipe log files. If this value is smaller than :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.max_line_size`, then the latter will be used for both ``ASCII`` and ``ASCII_PIPE`` log files. If both ``max_line_size`` and ``ascii_buffer_size`` are set, then ``max_line_size`` will be used for ``ASCII_PIPE`` logs while ``ascii_buffer_size`` will be used for ``ASCII`` (non-pipe) log files. This all might seem complicated, but just keep in mind that the intention of ``ascii_buffer_size`` is to simply provide a way for the user to configure different ``ASCII`` and ``ASCII_PIPE`` maximum line lengths. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.log_buffer_size INT 9216 :reloadable: :units: bytes This is an orthogonal mechanism from :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.max_line_size` and :ts:cv:`proxy.config.log.ascii_buffer_size` for limiting line length size by constraining the log entry buffer to a particular amount of memory. Unlike the above two configurations, ``log_buffer_size`` applies to both binary and ``ASCII`` log file entries. For ``ASCII`` log files, if a maximum log size is set via both the above mechanisms and by ``log_buffer_size``, then the smaller of the two configurations will be applied to the line length. Diagnostic Logging Configuration ================================ .. _DiagnosticOutputConfigurationVariables: .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.diag STRING E .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.debug STRING E .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.status STRING L .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.note STRING L .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.warning STRING L .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.error STRING SL .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.fatal STRING SL .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.alert STRING L .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.emergency STRING SL The diagnostic output configuration variables control where Traffic Server should log diagnostic output. Messages at each diagnostic level can be directed to any combination of diagnostic destinations. Valid diagnostic message destinations are: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``O`` Log to standard output. ``E`` Log to standard error. ``S`` Log to syslog. ``L`` Log to :file:`diags.log` (with the filename configurable via :ts:cv:`proxy.config.diags.logfile.filename`). ===== ====================================================================== .. topic:: Example To log debug diagnostics to both syslog and `diags.log`:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.output.debug STRING SL .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.show_location INT 1 Annotates diagnostic messages with the source code location.

Set to 2 to enable for all messages. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.debug.enabled INT 0 :reloadable: When set to 1, enables logging for diagnostic messages whose log level is `diag` or `debug`. When set to 2, interprets the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.diags.debug.client_ip` setting determine whether diagnostic messages are logged. When set to 3, enables logging for diagnostic messages whose log level is `diag` or `debug`, except those output by deprecated functions such as `TSDebug()` and `TSDebugSpecific()`. Using the value 3 will have less of a negative impact on proxy throughput than using the value 1. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.debug.client_ip STRING NULL if :ts:cv:`proxy.config.diags.debug.enabled` is set to 2, this value is tested against the source IP of the incoming connection. If there is a match, all the diagnostic messages for that connection and the related outgoing connection will be logged. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.debug.tags STRING http|dns Each |TS| `diag` and `debug` level message is annotated with a subsystem tag. This configuration contains an anchored regular expression that filters the messages based on the tag. The expressions are prefix matched which creates an implicit ``.*`` at the end. Therefore the default value ``http|dns`` will match tags such as ``http``, ``http_hdrs``, ``dns``, and ``dns_recv``. Some commonly used debug tags are: ============ ===================================================== Tag Subsystem usage ============ ===================================================== dns DNS query resolution http_hdrs Logs the headers for HTTP requests and responses privileges Privilege elevation ssl TLS termination and certificate processing ============ ===================================================== |TS| plugins will typically log debug messages using the :c:func:`TSDbg` API, passing the plugin name as the debug tag. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.debug.throttling_interval_msec INT 0 :reloadable: :units: milliseconds The minimum amount of milliseconds between repeated |TS| `diag` and `debug` log events. A value of 0 implies no throttling. All diags and debug logs are compiled with throttling applied to them. For details about how log throttling works, see :ts:cv:`log.throttling_interval_msec `. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile.filename STRING diags.log The name of the file to which |TS| diagnostic logs will be emitted. For information on the diagnostic log file, see :file:`diags.log`. For the configurable parameters concerning what log content is emitted to :file:`diags.log`, see the :ref:`Diagnostic Output Configuration Variables ` above. If this is set to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, then all diagnostic logging will go to the stdout or stderr stream, respectively. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.error.logfile.filename STRING error.log The name of the file to which |TS| transaction error logs will be emitted. For more information on these log messages, see :file:`error.log`. If this is set to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, then all transaction error logging will go to the stdout or stderr stream, respectively. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile_perm STRING rw-r--r-- The log file permissions. The standard UNIX file permissions are used (owner, group, other). Permissible values are: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``-`` No permissions. ``r`` Read permission. ``w`` Write permission. ``x`` Execute permission. ===== ====================================================================== Permissions are subject to the umask settings for the |TS| process. This means that a umask setting of ``002`` will not allow write permission for others, even if specified in the configuration file. Permissions for existing log files are not changed when the configuration is modified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_enabled INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies how the diagnostics log is rolled. You can specify the following values: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables diagnostics log rolling. ``1`` Enables diagnostics log rolling at specific intervals (specified with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_interval_sec`). The "clock" starts ticking on |TS| startup. ``2`` Enables diagnostics log rolling when the diagnostics log reaches a specific size (specified with :ts:cv:`proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_size_mb`). ``3`` Enables diagnostics log rolling at specific intervals or when the diagnostics log reaches a specific size (whichever occurs first). ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_interval_sec INT 3600 :reloadable: :units: seconds Specifies how often the diagnostics log is rolled, in seconds. The timer starts on |TS| startup. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_size_mb INT 100 :reloadable: :units: megabytes Specifies at what size to roll the diagnostics log at. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.diags.logfile.rolling_min_count INT 0 :reloadable: Specifies the minimum count of rolled diagnostic logs to keep. This value will be used to decide the order of auto-deletion (if enabled). A default value of 0 means auto-deletion will try to keep diagnostic logs as much as possible. See :doc:`../logging/rotation.en` for guidance. Reverse Proxy ============= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.reverse_proxy.enabled INT 1 :reloadable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) HTTP reverse proxy. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.header.parse.no_host_url_redirect STRING NULL :reloadable: The URL to which to redirect requests with no host headers (reverse proxy). URL Remap Rules =============== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.filename STRING remap.config :deprecated: Sets the name of the :file:`remap.config` file. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.remap_required INT 1 :reloadable: Set this variable to ``1`` if you want |TS| to serve requests only from origin servers listed in the mapping rules of the :file:`remap.config` file. If a request does not match, then the browser will receive an error. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr INT 0 :reloadable: :overridable: Set this variable to ``1`` if you want to retain the client host header in a request during remapping. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.min_rules_required INT 0 :reloadable: The minimum number of rules :file:`remap.config` must have to be considered valid. An otherwise valid configuration with fewer than this many rules is considered to be invalid as if it had a syntax error. A value of zero allows :file:`remap.config` to be empty or absent. This is dynamic to enable different requirements for startup and reloading. .. _records-config-ssl-termination: SSL Termination =============== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.cipher_suite STRING Configures the set of encryption, digest, authentication, and key exchange algorithms provided by OpenSSL which |TS| will use for SSL connections.

By disabling it (``0``) |TS| will use client's cipher suites preferences. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.prioritize_chacha INT 0 By enabling it (``1``) |TS| will temporarily reprioritize ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers to the top of the server cipher list if a ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher is at the top of the client cipher list. This configuration works with OpenSSL v1.1.1 and above. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.TLSv1_3.cipher_suites STRING Configures the cipher_suites which |TS| will use for TLSv1.3 connections to origin or next hop.

[Requires OpenSSL v1.1.1 and higher] .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.certification_level INT 0 Sets the client certification level: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Client certificates are **ignored**. |TS| does not verify client certificates during the SSL handshake. Access to |TS| depends on |TS| configuration options (such as access control lists). ``1`` Client certificates are **optional**. If a client has a certificate, then the certificate is validated. If the client does not have a certificate, then the client is still allowed access to |TS| unless access is denied through other |TS| configuration options. ``2`` Client certificates are **required**. The client must be authenticated during the SSL handshake. Clients without a certificate are not allowed to access |TS|. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.multicert.filename STRING ssl_multicert.config :deprecated: The location of the :file:`ssl_multicert.config` file, relative to the |TS| configuration directory. In the following example, if the |TS| configuration directory is `/etc/trafficserver`, the |TS| SSL configuration file and the corresponding certificates are located in `/etc/trafficserver/ssl`:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.multicert.filename STRING ssl/ssl_multicert.config CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.cert.path STRING etc/trafficserver/ssl CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.private_key.path STRING etc/trafficserver/ssl .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.multicert.exit_on_load_fail INT 1 By default (``1``), |TS| will not start unless all the SSL certificates listed in the :file:`ssl_multicert.config` file successfully load. If false (``0``), SSL certificate load failures will not prevent |TS| from starting. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.cert.path STRING /config The location of the SSL certificates and chains used for accepting and validation new SSL sessions. If this is a relative path, it is appended to the |TS| installation PREFIX. All certificates and certificate chains listed in :file:`ssl_multicert.config` will be loaded relative to this path. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.private_key.path STRING NULL The location of the SSL certificate private keys. Change this variable only if the private key is not located in the SSL certificate file. All private keys listed in :file:`ssl_multicert.config` will be loaded relative to this path. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.cert_chain.filename STRING NULL The name of a file containing a global certificate chain that should be used with every server certificate. This file is only used if there are certificates defined in :file:`ssl_multicert.config`. Unless this is an absolute path, it is loaded relative to the path specified by :ts:cv:`proxy.config.ssl.server.cert.path`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.dhparams_file STRING NULL The name of a file containing a set of Diffie-Hellman key exchange parameters. If not specified, 2048-bit DH parameters from RFC 5114 are used. These parameters are only used if a DHE (or EDH) cipher suite has been selected. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.CA.cert.path STRING NULL The location of the certificate authority file that client certificates will be verified against. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.CA.cert.filename STRING NULL The filename of the certificate authority that client certificates will be verified against. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.ticket_key.filename STRING NULL The filename of the default and global ticket key for SSL sessions. The location is relative to the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.ssl.server.cert.path` directory. One way to generate this would be to run ``head -c48 /dev/urandom | openssl enc -base64 | head -c48 > file.ticket``. Also note that OpenSSL session tickets are sensitive to the version of the ca-certificates. Once the file is changed with new tickets, use :option:`traffic_ctl config reload` to begin using them. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.servername.filename STRING sni.yaml :deprecated: The filename of the :file:`sni.yaml` configuration file. If relative, it is relative to the configuration directory. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.max_record_size INT 0 This configuration specifies the maximum number of bytes to write into a SSL record when replying over a SSL session. In some circumstances this setting can improve response latency by reducing buffering at the SSL layer. This setting can have a value between 0 and 16383 (max TLS record size). The default of ``0`` means to always write all available data into a single SSL record. A value of ``-1`` means TLS record size is dynamically determined. The strategy employed is to use small TLS records that fit into a single TCP segment for the first ~1 MB of data, but, increase the record size to 16 KB after that to optimize throughput. The record size is reset back to a single segment after ~1 second of inactivity and the record size ramping mechanism is repeated again. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.origin_session_cache INT 1 This configuration enables the SSL session cache for the origin server when set to ``1``. Setting to ``0`` disables SSL session cache for the origin server. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.origin_session_cache.size INT 10240 This configuration specifies the maximum number of entries the SSL session cache for the origin server may contain. Setting a value less than or equal to ``0`` effectively disables SSL session cache for the origin server. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache INT 2 Enables the SSL session cache: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables the session cache entirely. ``1`` Enables the session cache using OpenSSL's implementation. ``2`` Default. Enables the session cache using |TS|'s implementation. This implementation should perform much better than the OpenSSL implementation. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache.timeout INT 0 This configuration specifies the lifetime of SSL session cache entries in seconds. If it is ``0``, then the SSL library will use a default value, typically 300 seconds. Note: This option has no affect when using the |TS| session cache (option ``2`` in ``proxy.config.ssl.session_cache``) See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache.auto_clear INT 1 This will set the OpenSSL auto clear flag. Auto clear is enabled by default with ``1`` it can be disabled by changing this setting to ``0``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache.size INT 102400 This configuration specifies the maximum number of entries the SSL session cache may contain. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache.num_buckets INT 256 This configuration specifies the number of buckets to use with the |TS| SSL session cache implementation. The TS implementation is a fixed size hash map where each bucket is protected by a mutex. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.session_cache.skip_cache_on_bucket_contention INT 0 This configuration specifies the behavior of the |TS| SSL session cache implementation during lock contention on each bucket: ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Default. Don't skip session caching when bucket lock is contented. ``1`` Disable the SSL session cache for a connection during lock contention. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.session_ticket.enable INT 1 Set to 1 to enable Traffic Server to process TLS tickets for TLS session resumption. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.session_ticket.number INT 2 This configuration control the number of TLSv1.3 session tickets that are issued. Take into account that setting the value to 0 will disable session caching for TLSv1.3 connections. Lowering this setting to ``1`` can be interesting when ``proxy.config.ssl.session_cache`` is enabled because otherwise for every new TLSv1.3 connection two session IDs will be inserted in the session cache. On the other hand, if ``proxy.config.ssl.session_cache`` is disabled, using the default value is recommended. In those scenarios, increasing the number of tickets could be potentially beneficial for clients performing multiple requests over concurrent TLS connections as per RFC 8446 clients SHOULDN'T reuse TLS Tickets. For more information see https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets.html [Requires OpenSSL v1.1.1 and higher] .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.hsts_max_age INT -1 :overridable: This configuration specifies the max-age value that will be used when adding the Strict-Transport-Security header. The value is in seconds. A value of ``0`` will set the max-age value to ``0`` and should remove the HSTS entry from the client. A value of ``-1`` will disable this feature and not set the header. This option is only used for HTTPS requests and the header will not be set on HTTP requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.hsts_include_subdomains INT 0 :overridable: Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) adding the includeSubdomain value to the Strict-Transport-Security header. proxy.config.ssl.hsts_max_age needs to be set to a non ``-1`` value for this configuration to take effect. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.allow_client_renegotiation INT 0 This configuration specifies whether the client is able to initiate renegotiation of the SSL connection. The default of ``0``, means the client can't initiate renegotiation. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.cert.load_elevated INT 0 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) elevation of traffic_server privileges during loading of SSL certificates. By enabling this, SSL certificate files' access rights can be restricted to help reduce the vulnerability of certificates. This feature requires |TS| to be built with POSIX capabilities enabled. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.handshake_timeout_in INT 30 When enabled this limits the total duration for the incoming side SSL handshake. See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.keylog_file STRING NULL :reloadable: If configured, TLS session keys for TLS connections will be logged to the specified file. This file is formatted in such a way that it can be conveniently imported into tools such as Wireshark to decrypt packet captures. This should only be used for debugging purposes since the data in the keylog file can be used to decrypt the otherwise encrypted traffic. A NULL value for this disables the feature. This feature is disabled by default. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.ktls.enabled INT 0 Enables the use of Kernel TLS. This configuration requires OpenSSL v3.0 and above, and it must have been compiled with support for Kernel TLS. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disables the use of Kernel TLS. ``1`` Enables the use of Kernel TLS.. ===== ====================================================================== Client-Related Configuration ---------------------------- .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.verify.server.policy STRING PERMISSIVE :reloadable: :overridable: Configures |TS| to verify the origin server certificate with the Certificate Authority (CA). This configuration takes a value of :code:`DISABLED`, :code:`PERMISSIVE`, or :code:`ENFORCED` You can override this global setting on a per domain basis in the :file:`sni.yaml` file using the :ref:`verify_server_policy` attribute. You can also override via the conf_remap plugin. Those changes will take precedence over the changes in :file:`sni.yaml`. :code:`DISABLED` Server Certificate will not be verified :code:`PERMISSIVE` The provided certificate will be verified and the connection will be established irrespective of the verification result. If verification fails the name of the server will be logged. :code:`ENFORCED` Certificate will be verified and the connection will not be established if verification fails. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.verify.server.properties STRING ALL :reloadable: :overridable: Configures |TS| for what the default verify callback should check during origin server verification. You can override this global setting on a per domain basis in the :file:`sni.yaml` file using the :ref:`verify_server_properties` attribute. You can also override via the conf_remap plugin. Those changes will take precedence over the changes in .:file:`sni.yaml` :code:`NONE` Check nothing in the standard callback. Rely entirely on plugins to check the certificate. :code:`SIGNATURE` Check only for a valid signature. :code:`NAME` Check only that the SNI name is in the certificate. :code:`ALL` Check both the signature and the name. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.cert.filename STRING NULL :reloadable: :overridable: The filename of SSL client certificate installed on |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.cert.path STRING /config :reloadable: The location of the SSL client certificate installed on Traffic Server. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.private_key.filename STRING NULL :reloadable: :overridable: The filename of the |TS| private key. Change this variable only if the private key is not located in the |TS| SSL client certificate file. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.private_key.path STRING NULL :reloadable: The location of the |TS| private key. Change this variable only if the private key is not located in the SSL client certificate file. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.CA.cert.filename STRING NULL :reloadable: :overridable: The filename of the certificate authority against which the origin server will be verified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.CA.cert.path STRING NULL :reloadable: Specifies the location of the certificate authority file against which the origin server will be verified. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.sni_policy STRING NULL :overridable: Indicate how the SNI value for the TLS connection to the origin is selected. ``host`` This is the default. The value of the ``Host`` field in the proxy request is used. ``server_name`` The SNI value of the inbound TLS connection is used. ``remap`` The remapped upstream name is used. ``verify_with_name_source`` The value of the ``Host`` field in the proxy request is used. In addition, if the names in the server certificate of the upstream are checked, they are checked against the remapped upstream name, not the SNI. ``@...`` If the policy starts with the ``@`` character, it is treated as a literal, less the leading ``@``. E.g. if the policy is "@apache.org" the SNI will be "apache.org". We have two names that could be used in the transaction host header and the SNI value to the origin. These could be the host header from the client or the remap host name. Unless you have pristine host header enabled, these are likely the same values. If sni_policy = ``host``, both the sni and the value of the ``Host`` field to origin will be the same. If sni_policy = ``remap``, the sni value will be the remap host name and the host header will be the host header from the client. In addition, We may want to set the SNI and host headers the same (makes some common web servers happy), but the server certificate for the upstream may have a name that corresponds to the remap name. So instead of using the SNI name for the name check, we may want to use the remap name. So if sni_policy = ``verify_with_name_source``, the sni will be the host header value and the name to check in the server certificate will be the remap header value. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.scheme_proto_mismatch_policy INT 2 :overridable: This option controls how |TS| behaves when the client side connection protocol and the client request's scheme do not match. For example, if enforcement is enabled by setting this value to ``2`` and the client connection is a cleartext HTTP connection but the scheme of the URL is ``https://``, then |TS| will emit a warning and return an immediate 400 HTTP response without proxying the request to the origin. The default value is ``2``, meaning that |TS| will enforce that the protocol matches the scheme. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Disable verification that the protocol and scheme match. ``1`` Check that the protocol and scheme match, but only emit a warning if they do not. ``2`` Check that the protocol and scheme match and, if they do not, emit a warning and return an immediate HTTP 400 response. ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.TLSv1 INT 0 Enables (``1``) or disables (``0``) TLSv1.0 in the ATS client context.

Traffic Server must be build against OpenSSL 1.1 or greater or this to take affect. Can be useful if using a crypto engine that communicates off chip. The thread will be rescheduled for other work until the crypto engine operation completes. A test crypto engine that inserts a 5 second delay on private key operations can be found at :ts:git:`contrib/openssl/async_engine.c`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.engine.conf_file STRING NULL Specify the location of the OpenSSL config file used to load dynamic crypto engines. This setting assumes an absolute path. An example config file is at :ts:git:`contrib/openssl/load_engine.cnf`. TLS v1.3 0-RTT Configuration ---------------------------- .. note:: TLS v1.3 must be enabled in order to utilize 0-RTT early data. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.max_early_data INT 0 Specifies the maximum amount of early data in bytes that is permitted to be sent on a single connection. The minimum value that enables early data, and the suggested value for this option are both 16384 (16KB). Setting to ``0`` effectively disables 0-RTT. If you use BoringSSL, setting a value grater than 0 enables early data but the value won't be used to limit the maximum amount of early data. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.server.allow_early_data_params INT 0 Set to ``1`` to allow HTTP parameters on early data requests. SNI Routing ----------- .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.tunnel.activity_check_period INT 0 :units: seconds Frequency of checking the activity of SNI Routing Tunnel.

This is used when :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http2.max_active_streams_in` is set larger than ``0``. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.max_active_streams_in INT 0 :reloadable: Limits the maximum number of connection wide active streams. When connection wide active streams are larger than this value, SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS will be reduced to :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http2.min_concurrent_streams_in`. To disable, set to zero (``0``). .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.initial_window_size_in INT 65535 :reloadable: :units: bytes The initial window size for inbound connections. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.max_frame_size INT 16384 :reloadable: :units: bytes Indicates the size of the largest frame payload that the sender is willing to receive. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.header_table_size INT 4096 :reloadable: The maximum size of the header compression table used to decode header blocks. This value will be advertised as SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.header_table_size_limit INT 65536 :reloadable: The maximum size of the header compression table ATS actually use when ATS encodes headers. Setting 0 means ATS doesn't insert headers into HPACK Dynamic Table, however, headers still can be encoded as indexable representations. The upper limit is 65536. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http2.max_header_list_size INT 131072 :reloadable: This advisory setting informs a peer of the maximum size of header list that the sender is prepared to accept blocks.

Sockets ======= .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.defer_accept INT 1 default: ``1`` meaning ``on`` all Platforms except Linux: ``45`` seconds This directive enables operating system specific optimizations for a listening socket. ``defer_accept`` holds a call to ``accept(2)`` back until data has arrived. In Linux' special case this is up to a maximum of 45 seconds. On FreeBSD, ``accf_data`` module needs to be loaded. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.listen_backlog INT -1 :reloadable: This directive sets the maximum number of pending connections. If it is set to -1, |TS| will automatically set this to a platform-specific maximum. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.tcp_congestion_control_in STRING "" This directive will override the congestion control algorithm for incoming connections (accept sockets). On Linux, the allowed values are typically specified in a space separated list in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.tcp_congestion_control_out STRING "" This directive will override the congestion control algorithm for outgoing connections (connect sockets). On Linux, the allowed values are typically specified in a space separated list in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_send_buffer_size_in INT 0 Sets the send buffer size for connections from the client to |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_recv_buffer_size_in INT 0 Sets the receive buffer size for connections from the client to |TS|. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_option_flag_in INT 0x1 Turns different options "on" for the socket handling client connections::: TCP_NODELAY (1) SO_KEEPALIVE (2) SO_LINGER (4) - with a timeout of 0 seconds TCP_FASTOPEN (8) PACKET_MARK (16) PACKET_TOS (32) TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT (64) .. note:: This is a bitmask and you need to decide what bits to set.

Therefore, you must set the value to ``3`` if you want to enable nodelay and keepalive options above. When SO_LINGER is enabled, the linger timeout time is set to 0. This is useful when |TS| and the origin server are co-located and large numbers of sockets are retained in the TIME_WAIT state. .. note:: To allow TCP Fast Open for server sockets on Linux, bit 1 of the ``net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen`` sysctl must be set. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_mss_in INT 0 Same as the command line option ``--accept_mss`` that sets the MSS for all incoming requests. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_packet_mark_in INT 0x0 Set the packet mark on traffic destined for the client (the packets that make up a client response). .. seealso:: `Traffic Shaping`_ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_packet_mark_out INT 0x0 :overridable: Set the packet mark on traffic destined for the origin (the packets that make up an origin request). .. seealso:: `Traffic Shaping`_ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_packet_tos_in INT 0x0 Set the ToS/DiffServ Field on packets sent to the client (the packets that make up a client response). .. seealso:: `Traffic Shaping`_ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_packet_tos_out INT 0x0 :overridable: Set the ToS/DiffServ Field on packets sent to the origin (the packets that make up an origin request). .. seealso:: `Traffic Shaping`_ .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.sock_notsent_lowat INT 16384 :overridable: Set socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT to specified value for a connection .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.net.poll_timeout INT 10 (or 30 on Solaris) Same as the command line option ``--poll_timeout``, or ``-t``, which specifies the timeout used for the polling mechanism used. This timeout is always in milliseconds (ms). This is the timeout to ``epoll_wait()`` on Linux platforms, and to ``kevent()`` on BSD type OSs. The default value is ``10`` on all platforms. Changing this configuration can reduce CPU usage on an idle system, since periodic tasks gets processed at these intervals. On busy servers, this overhead is diminished, since polled events triggers more frequently. However, increasing the setting can also introduce additional latency for certain operations, and timed events. It's recommended not to touch this setting unless your CPU usage is unacceptable at idle workload. Some alternatives to this could be:: Reduce the number of worker threads (net-threads) Reduce the number of disk (AIO) threads Make sure accept threads are enabled The relevant configurations for this are:: CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig INT 0 CONFIG proxy.config.exec_thread.limit INT 2 CONFIG proxy.config.accept_threads INT 1 CONFIG proxy.config.cache.threads_per_disk INT 8 See :ref:`admin-performance-timeouts` for more discussion on |TS| timeouts. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.task_threads INT 2 Specifies the number of task threads to run. These threads are used for various tasks that should be off-loaded from the normal network threads. You must have at least one task thread available. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.thread_freelist_size INT 512 Sets the maximum number of elements that can be contained in a ProxyAllocator (per-thread) before returning the objects to the global pool. If set to ``0``, there is no limit enforced. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.thread_freelist_low_watermark INT 32 Sets the minimum number of items a ProxyAllocator (per-thread) will guarantee to be holding at any one time. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.hugepages INT 0 Enable (1) the use of huge pages on supported platforms. (Currently only Linux) You must also enable hugepages at the OS level. In modern Linux kernels, this can be done by setting ``/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages`` to a sufficiently large value. It is reasonable to use (system memory/hugepage size) because these pages are only created on demand. For more information on the implications of enabling huge pages, see `Wikipedia _`. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.dump_mem_info_frequency INT 0 :reloadable: Enable . When enabled makes Traffic Server dump IO Buffer memory information to ``traffic.out`` at ```` (intervals are in seconds). A zero value implies it is disabled .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.res_track_memory INT 0 When enabled makes Traffic Server track memory usage (allocations and releases). This information is dumped to ``traffic.out`` when the user sends a SIGUSR1 signal or periodically when :ts:cv:`proxy.config.dump_mem_info_frequency` is enabled. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Memory tracking Disabled ``1`` Tracks IO Buffer Memory allocations and releases ``2`` Tracks IO Buffer Memory and OpenSSL Memory allocations and releases ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.dontdump_iobuffers INT 1 Enable (1) the exclusion of IO buffers from core files when ATS crashes on supported platforms. (Currently only Linux). IO buffers are allocated with the MADV_DONTDUMP with madvise() on Linux platforms that support MADV_DONTDUMP. Enabled by default. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.iobuf_chunk_sizes STRING This configures the chunk sizes of each of the IO buffer allocators. The chunk size is the number of buffers allocated in a batch when the allocator's freelist is exhausted. This must be specified as a space separated list of up to 15 numbers. If not specified or if any value specified is 0, the default value will be used. The list of numbers will specify the chunk sizes in the following order: ``128 256 512 1k 2k 4k 8k 16k 32k 64k 128k 256k 512k 1M 2M`` The defaults for each allocator is: ``128 128 128 128 128 128 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32`` Even though this is specified, the actual chunk size might be modified based on the system's page size (or hugepage size if enabled). You might want to adjust these values to reduce the overall number of allocations that ATS needs to make based on your configured RAM cache size. On a running system, you can send SIGUSR1 to the ATS process to have it log the allocator statistics and see how many of each buffer size have been allocated. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.allocator.iobuf_use_hugepages INT 0 This setting controls whether huge pages allocations are used to allocate io buffers. If enabled, and hugepages are not available, this will fall back to normal size pages. Using hugepages for iobuffer can sometimes improve performance by utilizing more of the TLB and reducing TLB misses. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` IO buffer allocation uses normal pages sizes ``1`` IO buffer allocation uses huge pages ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.dir.enable_hugepages INT 0 This setting controls whether huge pages allocations are used to allocate memory for cache volume dir entries. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Use normal pages sizes ``1`` Use huge pages ===== ====================================================================== .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.misc.io.max_buffer_index INT 8 Configures the max IOBuffer Block index used for various SSL Operations such as Handshake or Protocol Probe. Default value is 8 which maps to a 32K buffer .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.io.max_buffer_index INT 8 Configures the max IOBuffer Block index used for storing HostDB records. Default value is 8 which maps to a 32K buffer .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.payload.io.max_buffer_index INT 8 Configures the max IOBuffer Block index used for storing request payload buffer for a POST request. Default value is 8 which maps to a 32K buffer .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.msg.io.max_buffer_index INT 8 Configures the max IOBuffer Block index used for storing miscellaneous transactional buffers such as error response body. Default value is 8 which maps to a 32K buffer .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.log.io.max_buffer_index INT 8 Configures the max IOBuffer Block index used for storing an access log entry. Default value is 8 which maps to a 32K buffer .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.enabled INT 1 Turn on or off support for HTTP proxying. This is rarely used, the one exception being if you run |TS| with a protocol plugin, and would like for it to not support HTTP requests at all. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.allow_half_open INT 1 :reloadable: :overridable: Turn on or off support for connection half open for client side. Default is on, so after client sends FIN, the connection is still there. .. ts:cv:: CONFIG proxy.config.http.wait_for_cache INT 0 Accepting inbound connections and starting the cache are independent operations in |TS|. This variable controls the relative timing of these operations and |TS| dependency on cache because if cache is required then inbound connection accepts should be deferred until the validity of the cache requirement is determined. Cache initialization failure will be logged in :file:`diags.log`. ===== ====================================================================== Value Description ===== ====================================================================== ``0`` Decouple inbound connections and cache initialization. Connections will be accepted as soon as possible and |TS| will run regardless of the results of cache initialization. ``1`` Do not accept inbound connections until cache initialization has finished. |TS| will run regardless of the results of cache initialization. ``2`` Do not accept inbound connections until cache initialization has finished and been sufficiently successful that cache is enabled. This means at least one cache span is usable. If there are no spans in :file:`storage.config` or none of the spans can be successfully parsed and initialized then |TS| will shut down. ``3`` Do not accept inbound connections until cache initialization has finished and been completely successful. This requires at least one cache span in :file:`storage.config` and that every span specified is valid and successfully initialized. Any error will cause |TS| to shut down. ===== ====================================================================== .. _Traffic Shaping: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Traffic+Shaping
