shadyabhi opened a new issue #8544: URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/issues/8544
Relevant fields for this discussion (from https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/admin-guide/logging/formatting.en.html#admin-logging-fields-network) | Field | Source | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | chi | Client | IP address of the client’s host | | pps | Proxy Protocol Source IP | Source IP received via Proxy Protocol context from the LB to the Traffic Server | With only these relevant fields available, if a `proxy-protocol` client connects to ATS while passing the right `proxy-protocol` headers, both fields `chi` and `pps` are updated with the `true client IP address`, ie, the IP address of the user-agent. (meaning a typical user on the internet) This means we lose the ability to identify the `IP address` of the previous `hop` when proxy protocol is used. Is there a need for adding a new field that signals the IP address of the `previous hop` when proxy protocol is used? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
