Hi Axel, Thank you for the reply. I have pasted some of my nginx.conf file below. Can you conform if i'm setting proxy_next_upstream in correct location please?
Also, is there a way to have fail_timeout increment per fail? i.e if it failed once try again in 30 secs as it might be minor issue, then if that fails try a again in 2 mins, then 4 mins etc? user nginx; worker_processes 1; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; #error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice; #error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info; pid /run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ' '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; sendfile on; #tcp_nopush on; #keepalive_timeout 0; keepalive_timeout 65; #set headers proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Queue-Start "t=${msec}000"; # switch to next upstream server in these scenarios proxy_next_upstream http_502 http_503 error; # load balancer # ip_hash provides sticky session upstream balancer { ip_hash; server 127.0.0.1:8180 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=2000s; server 127.0.0.1:8280 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=2000s; } #gzip on; # Load modular configuration files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory. # See http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#include # for more information. include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; server { listen 80; server_name localhost; #charset koi8-r; access_log /var/log/nginx/host.access.log main; location / { root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm; } #rules for rest location /rest/ { #proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/MyApp/rest/; proxy_pass http://balancer/MyApp/rest/; } ---- ---- Many thanks Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,241152,241211#msg-241211 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
