      Hi,

      We have several web servers as backend to the HAProxy (http & https).  What we  need for web statistics is the real IP of the visitors and not the HAproxy IP address which is being recorded. How can I change the HAProxy configuration so that the IIS and Apache logs show the real IP of the users visiting the web sites.

      Thanks

      cjb

        Hi,

        There are a few ways to do that..

        https://gist.github.com/PiBa-NL/d826e0d6b35bbe4a5fc3#file-haproxy-sending-the-source-ip-to-the-webserver

        Options 1 and 3 are available in the webgui as a 'checkbox'.
        Option 2 can be set as textual in advanced option.

        Ill add that to my wiki shortly..
