I’ve added a second plex server to another machine on my local lan so if the first one goes down for any reason it’ll load the second one as a backup. Now, when viewing the logs I want to be able to see which IP it was sent to. Here’s what I have so far:
The upstream and log code in plex.subdomain.conf:
upstream plex-resolver {
server 192.168.0.195:32400;
server 192.168.0.194:32400 backup;
}
# TODO: $proxy_host isnt really what I want; I want to see *exactly* which pms server it went to.
log_format plex_access '[$time_local] $remote_addr - $host -> $upstream_addr (SentTo: $proxy_host): $request $status upstream_response_time $upstream_response_time msec $msec request_time $request_time tst: $upstream_http_server';
# Send Plex-only traffic to it's own log for easier viewing.
map $host $pms {
default 0;
~*^plex 1;
}
access_log /config/log/nginx/plex_access.log plex_access if=$pms;
and the code sending to the resolver:
set $upstream_app plex-resolver;
set $upstream_proto https;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app;
I want the “SentTo:” to always show me the exact IP of the endpoint it was sent to, but it just shows the name of the upstream block instead:

Does anyone know how to do what I’m looking for?
