I folks, wondering if I could get your input.
I have a nginx 1.7.3 configured as a reverse proxy. The system seems to
work
fine when not under heavy load. However, there are periods of time when
we
have extreme load because of ecom promotions.
The $request_time gets up to 15 seconds. Normally the $request_time is
only
a few seconds. The client machine is making a web service call to the
Nginx
reverse proxy and the client web service making the call is designed to
abort the connection if it takes longer than 15 seconds. As a result
that
is why you see all the $request_time’s stop at 15 seconds.
The $upstream_addr field is populated with “-“. What would cause the
$request_time to take longer than 15 seconds?
It seems the nginx reverse proxy never passes the connection on to the
upstream server.
