query: In SEnginx what is the default state for the 'persistence' extension

[peterbowey]

@InfoHunter

Is it possible / correct to use persistence off; or perhaps persistence ""; ?

The Wiki at http://www.senginx.org/en/index.php/HTTP_Persistence does not advise on it's default state.

Syntax persistence mode [cookie_name=name] [monitor_cookie=name] [timeout=timeout]

Question is: "how does one disable 'persistence' for a given 'server' or 'location' need?

I ask this as I note it shows up in SEnginx debug logs - for upstream locations that have no 'persistence' setting.

See abbreviated log below:

Notes: Why do my 3 Unix sockets upstream proxy's all use the same ID (18446744073709551615)?

There is no "off" parameter for "persistence" directive. If you don't want to enable persistence in an upstream, you can only remove or comment out the "persistence" line in your config file. If you do so, you can find some logs like what you pasted above - persistence "get" not set and "set" not set. That means in this upstream, persistence functionality is not enabled.

The check_index has nothing to do with persistence module, it's only valid when you enable the "health check" feature in SEnginx. So just ignore them. I migrated this "health check" feature from tengine. : )

Thanks Paul, the above seems to 'agree' with Tengine's and Nginx's PLUS model and use (too).

I was just 'concerned' over the 'small' over-head of the 'get' + 'set'....
