The working mechanism behind the Proxy Protocol

This section describes how AxoSyslog supports the Proxy Protocol.

The working mechanism behind the Proxy Protocol

When using the Proxy Protocol during load balancing, AxoSyslog detects the information behind connections connected to the load balancer, then parses the injected information and adds the following macros to every message the comes through the connection later on:

  • PROXY_SRCIP (the source IP of the proxy)

  • PROXY_SRCPORT (the source port of the proxy)

  • PROXY_DSTIP (the destination IP of the proxy)

  • PROXY_DSTPORT (the destination port of the proxy)
