NimbostratusAKAMAI True-Client-IP
I am having issues passing the True-Client-IP from AKAMAI.
They pass the end users IP via a variable called True-CLient-IP
Does anyone know an easy way to be able send the end users IP
to A...

Nimbostratusin my Apache config, I have this:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
Do I append to it, or remove it with this?
LogFormat "%v %{True-Connect-IP}i (via akamai:%h) %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" akamai CustomLog "|rotatelog.. etc" akamai
what else do I need to modify? The actual Virtual Host Directives for each domain that is hosted in that httpd.conf file , or is having it outside of the Virtual Host going to act as global settings for how the logs are handled/written/recorded... ?
Thanks.

I think you will find this link will show you of an example of someone updating logs to to this [http://goo.gl/t9CxPg](http://goo.gl/t9CxPg)- Kevin_Davies_40The correct link is http://goo.gl/t9CxPg
- ChadBigIP_14663would that be the more efficient and optimized way of doing it? rather than putting the load on the F5 LTM-3400? or does it not really matter, it is just preference?
- Kevin_Davies_40I use the KISS principle. Some things are better and easier to do in the infrastructure surrounding the F5 rather than the device itself. Unless there is a good reason to do it on the F5, the Apache log option is far simpler and cleaner. From a management and maintenance point of view as well.
- ChadBigIP_14663my only issue is I have over 50 domains... across 10 servers... so that is over 600 lines of code to re-write.... I am a believer in the KISS method too, but do you know if there can be a GLOBAL setting for the logging in Apache that ALL Virtual Hosts will use, so I do not have to modify each individual Virtual Host?
