<h3 id="rewrite">Rewrite<a class="headerlink" href="#rewrite" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>In some scenarios the exposed URL in the backend service differs from the specified path in the Ingress rule. Without a rewrite any request will return 404.
Set the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target</code> to the path expected by the service.</p>
<p>If the application contains relative links it is possible to add an additional annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/add-base-url</code> that will prepend a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/base"><code class="codehilite">base</code> tag</a> in the header of the returned HTML from the backend.</p>
<p>If the scheme of <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/base"><code class="codehilite">base</code> tag</a> need to be specific, set the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/base-url-scheme</code> to the scheme such as <code class="codehilite">http</code> and <code class="codehilite">https</code>.</p>
<p>If the Application Root is exposed in a different path and needs to be redirected, set the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root</code> to redirect requests for <code class="codehilite">/</code>.</p>
<div class="admonition example">
<p class="admonition-title">Example</p>
<p>Please check the <a href="../../../examples/rewrite/README/">rewrite</a> example.</p>
</div>
<h3 id="session-affinity">Session Affinity<a class="headerlink" href="#session-affinity" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity</code> enables and sets the affinity type in all Upstreams of an Ingress. This way, a request will always be directed to the same upstream server.
The only affinity type available for NGINX is <code class="codehilite">cookie</code>.</p>
<div class="admonition example">
<p class="admonition-title">Example</p>
<p>Please check the <a href="../../../examples/affinity/cookie/README/">affinity</a> example.</p>
</div>
<h4 id="cookie-affinity">Cookie affinity<a class="headerlink" href="#cookie-affinity" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>If you use the <code class="codehilite">cookie</code> affinity type you can also specify the name of the cookie that will be used to route the requests with the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-name</code>. The default is to create a cookie named 'INGRESSCOOKIE'.</p>
<p>In case of NGINX the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-hash</code> defines which algorithm will be used to hash the used upstream. Default value is <code class="codehilite">md5</code> and possible values are <code class="codehilite">md5</code>, <code class="codehilite">sha1</code> and <code class="codehilite">index</code>.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>The <code class="codehilite">index</code> option is not an actual hash; an in-memory index is used instead, which has less overhead.
However, with <code class="codehilite">index</code>, matching against a changing upstream server list is inconsistent.
So, at reload, if upstream servers have changed, index values are not guaranteed to correspond to the same server as before!
<strong>Use <code class="codehilite">index</code> with caution</strong> and only if you need to!</p>
</div>
<p>In NGINX this feature is implemented by the third party module <a href="https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng">nginx-sticky-module-ng</a>. The workflow used to define which upstream server will be used is explained <a href="https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng/raw/08a395c66e425540982c00482f55034e1fee67b6/docs/sticky.pdf">here</a></p>
<h3 id="authentication">Authentication<a class="headerlink" href="#authentication" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Is possible to add authentication adding additional annotations in the Ingress rule. The source of the authentication is a secret that contains usernames and passwords inside the key <code class="codehilite">auth</code>.</p>
<p>The annotations are:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: [basic|digest]
</pre></div>
<p>Indicates the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617">HTTP Authentication Type: Basic or Digest Access Authentication</a>.</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: secretName

<p>NGINX exposes some flags in the <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#upstream">upstream configuration</a> that enable the configuration of each server in the upstream. The Ingress controller allows custom <code class="codehilite">max_fails</code> and <code class="codehilite">fail_timeout</code> parameters in a global context using <code class="codehilite">upstream-max-fails</code> and <code class="codehilite">upstream-fail-timeout</code> in the NGINX ConfigMap or in a particular Ingress rule. <code class="codehilite">upstream-max-fails</code> defaults to 0. This means NGINX will respect the container's <code class="codehilite">readinessProbe</code> if it is defined. If there is no probe and no values for <code class="codehilite">upstream-max-fails</code> NGINX will continue to send traffic to the container.</p>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Tip</p>
<p>With the default configuration NGINX will not health check your backends. Whenever the endpoints controller notices a readiness probe failure, that pod's IP will be removed from the list of endpoints. This will trigger the NGINX controller to also remove it from the upstreams.**</p>
</div>
<p>To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotations:</p>
<p><code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-max-fails</code>: number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server that should occur in the duration set by the <code class="codehilite">upstream-fail-timeout</code> parameter to consider the server unavailable.</p>
<p><code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-fail-timeout</code>: time in seconds during which the specified number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server should occur to consider the server unavailable. This is also the period of time the server will be considered unavailable.</p>
<p>In NGINX, backend server pools are called "<a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html">upstreams</a>". Each upstream contains the endpoints for a service. An upstream is created for each service that has Ingress rules defined.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>All Ingress rules using the same service will use the same upstream.<br />
Only one of the Ingress rules should define annotations to configure the upstream servers.</p>

<h3 id="custom-nginx-upstream-hashing">Custom NGINX upstream hashing<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-nginx-upstream-hashing" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>NGINX supports load balancing by client-server mapping based on <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#hash">consistent hashing</a> for a given key. The key can contain text, variables or any combination thereof. This feature allows for request stickiness other than client IP or cookies. The <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/RJ/journal/2007/04/10/392555/">ketama</a> consistent hashing method will be used which ensures only a few keys would be remapped to different servers on upstream group changes.</p>
<p>To enable consistent hashing for a backend:</p>
<p><code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by</code>: the nginx variable, text value or any combination thereof to use for consistent hashing. For example <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: &quot;$request_uri&quot;</code> to consistently hash upstream requests by the current request URI.</p>
<h3 id="custom-nginx-load-balancing">Custom NGINX load balancing<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-nginx-load-balancing" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>This is similar to (https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/nginx-configuration/configmap.md#load-balance) but configures load balancing algorithm per ingress.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by</code> takes preference over this. If this and <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by</code> are not set then we fallback to using globally configured load balancing algorithm.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="custom-nginx-upstream-vhost">Custom NGINX upstream vhost<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-nginx-upstream-vhost" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>This configuration setting allows you to control the value for host in the following statement: <code class="codehilite">proxy_set_header Host $host</code>, which forms part of the location block. This is useful if you need to call the upstream server by something other than <code class="codehilite">$host</code>.</p>
<h3 id="client-certificate-authentication">Client Certificate Authentication<a class="headerlink" href="#client-certificate-authentication" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>

<p>You can specify the client IP source ranges to be excluded from rate-limiting through the <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-whitelist</code> annotation. The value is a comma separated list of CIDRs.</p>
<p>If you specify multiple annotations in a single Ingress rule, <code class="codehilite">limit-rpm</code>, and then <code class="codehilite">limit-rps</code> takes precedence.</p>
<p>The annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate</code>, <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate-after</code> define a limit the rate of response transmission to a client. The rate is specified in bytes per second. The zero value disables rate limiting. The limit is set per a request, and so if a client simultaneously opens two connections, the overall rate will be twice as much as the specified limit.</p>
<p>To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the <code class="codehilite">limit-rate-after</code> and <code class="codehilite">limit-rate</code> value may be set in the <a href="../configmap/">NGINX ConfigMap</a>. if you set the value in ingress annotation will cover global setting.</p>

<p>The <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-upstream</code> annotation disables that behavior and instead uses a single upstream in NGINX, the service's Cluster IP and port.</p>
<p>This can be desirable for things like zero-downtime deployments as it reduces the need to reload NGINX configuration when Pods come up and down. See issue <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/257">#257</a>.</p>

If you want to disable this behavior globally, you can use <code class="codehilite">ssl-redirect: &quot;false&quot;</code> in the NGINX <a href="../configmap/">config map</a>.</p>
<p>To configure this feature for specific ingress resources, you can use the <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: &quot;false&quot;</code>

<p>When using SSL offloading outside of cluster (e.g. AWS ELB) it may be useful to enforce a redirect to HTTPS
even when there is no TLS certificate available.
This can be achieved by using the <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: &quot;true&quot;</code> annotation in the particular resource.</p>

otherwise, both annotations must be used in unison. Note that each annotation must be a string without spaces.</p>
<p>By default the value of each annotation is "off".</p>
<h3 id="custom-max-body-size">Custom max body size<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-max-body-size" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>For NGINX, an 413 error will be returned to the client when the size in a request exceeds the maximum allowed size of the client request body. This size can be configured by the parameter <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size"><code class="codehilite">client_max_body_size</code></a>.</p>
<p>To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the <code class="codehilite">proxy-body-size</code> value may be set in the <a href="../configmap/">NGINX ConfigMap</a>.
To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation:</p>

<p>To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the <code class="codehilite">proxy-cookie-domain</code> value may be set in the <a href="../configmap/">NGINX ConfigMap</a>.</p>
<h3 id="proxy-buffering">Proxy buffering<a class="headerlink" href="#proxy-buffering" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Enable or disable proxy buffering <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffering"><code class="codehilite">proxy_buffering</code></a>.
By default proxy buffering is disabled in the NGINX config.</p>
<p>To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the <code class="codehilite">proxy-buffering</code> value may be set in the <a href="../configmap/">NGINX ConfigMap</a>.
To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffering</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;on&quot;</span>

By default proxy buffer size is set as "4k"</p>
<p>To configure this setting globally, set <code class="codehilite">proxy-buffer-size</code> in <a href="../configmap/">NGINX ConfigMap</a>. To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffer-size</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;8k&quot;</span>

<h3 id="connection-proxy-header">Connection proxy header<a class="headerlink" href="#connection-proxy-header" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Using this annotation will override the default connection header set by NGINX.
To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define the annotation:</p>

<h3 id="enable-access-log">Enable Access Log<a class="headerlink" href="#enable-access-log" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Access logs are enabled by default, but in some scenarios access logs might be required to be disabled for a given
ingress. To do this, use the annotation:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-access-log</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;false&quot;</span>

<h3 id="enable-rewrite-log">Enable Rewrite Log<a class="headerlink" href="#enable-rewrite-log" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Rewrite logs are not enabled by default. In some scenarios it could be required to enable NGINX rewrite logs.
Note that rewrite logs are sent to the error_log file at the notice level. To enable this feature use the annotation:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-rewrite-log</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;true&quot;</span>

<h3 id="lua-resty-waf">Lua Resty WAF<a class="headerlink" href="#lua-resty-waf" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Using <code class="codehilite">lua-resty-waf-*</code> annotations we can enable and control the <a href="https://github.com/p0pr0ck5/lua-resty-waf">lua-resty-waf</a>
Web Application Firewall per location.</p>
<p>Following configuration will enable the WAF for the paths defined in the corresponding ingress:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;active&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
<p>In order to run it in debugging mode you can set <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf-debug</code> to <code class="codehilite">&quot;true&quot;</code> in addition to the above configuration.
The other possible values for <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf</code> are <code class="codehilite">inactive</code> and <code class="codehilite">simulate</code>.
In <code class="codehilite">inactive</code> mode WAF won't do anything, whereas in <code class="codehilite">simulate</code> mode it will log a warning message if there's a matching WAF rule for given request. This is useful to debug a rule and eliminate possible false positives before fully deploying it.</p>
<p><code class="codehilite">lua-resty-waf</code> comes with predefined set of rules <a href="https://github.com/p0pr0ck5/lua-resty-waf/tree/84b4f40362500dd0cb98b9e71b5875cb1a40f1ad/rules">https://github.com/p0pr0ck5/lua-resty-waf/tree/84b4f40362500dd0cb98b9e71b5875cb1a40f1ad/rules</a> that covers ModSecurity CRS.
You can use <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf-ignore-rulesets</code> to ignore a subset of those rulesets. For an example:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf-ignore-rulesets</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;41000_sqli,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">42000_xss&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
<p>will ignore the two mentioned rulesets.</p>
<p>It is also possible to configure custom WAF rules per ingress using the <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf-extra-rules</code> annotation. For an example the following snippet will configure a WAF rule to deny requests with query string value that contains word <code class="codehilite">foo</code>:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/lua-resty-waf-extra-rules</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&#39;[=[</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;access&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">[</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;actions&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;disrupt&quot;</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;DENY&quot;</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">},</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;id&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">10001,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;msg&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;my</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">custom</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">rule&quot;,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;operator&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;STR_CONTAINS&quot;,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;pattern&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;foo&quot;,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;vars&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">[</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;parse&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">[</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;values&quot;,</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">1</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">],</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;type&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;REQUEST_ARGS&quot;</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">]</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">],</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;body_filter&quot;:</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">[],</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">&quot;header_filter&quot;:[]</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">]=]&#39;</span>

<p>Please use <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: &quot;GRPC&quot;</code> or <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: &quot;GRPCS&quot;</code></p>
<p>Since NGINX 1.13.10 it is possible to expose <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_grpc_module.html">gRPC services natively</a></p>
<p>You only need to add the annotation <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/grpc-backend: &quot;true&quot;</code> to enable this feature.
Additionally, if the gRPC service requires TLS, add <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/secure-backends: &quot;true&quot;</code>.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">

<h3 id="influxdb">InfluxDB<a class="headerlink" href="#influxdb" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Using <code class="codehilite">influxdb-*</code> annotations we can monitor requests passing through a Location by sending them to an InfluxDB backend exposing the UDP socket
using the <a href="https://github.com/influxdata/nginx-influxdb-module/">nginx-influxdb-module</a>.</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-influxdb</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;true&quot;</span>

<span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-port</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;8089&quot;</span>
<span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-host</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;127.0.0.1&quot;</span>
<span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-server-name</span><span class="p p-Indicator">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;nginx-ingress&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
<p>For the <code class="codehilite">influxdb-host</code> parameter you have two options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use an InfluxDB server configured with the <a href="https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.5/supported_protocols/udp/">UDP protocol</a> enabled. </li>
<li>Deploy Telegraf as a sidecar proxy to the Ingress controller configured to listen UDP with the <a href="https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.6/plugins/inputs/socket_listener">socket listener input</a> and to write using
anyone of the <a href="https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.7/plugins/outputs">outputs plugins</a> like InfluxDB, Apache Kafka,
Prometheus, etc.. (recommended)</li>
</ul>
<p>It's important to remember that there's no DNS resolver at this stage so you will have to configure
an ip address to <code class="codehilite">nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-host</code>. If you deploy Influx or Telegraf as sidecar (another container in the same pod) this becomes straightforward since you can directly use <code class="codehilite">127.0.0.1</code>.</p>
<h3 id="backend-protocol">Backend Protocol<a class="headerlink" href="#backend-protocol" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Using <code class="codehilite">backend-protocol</code> annotations is possible to indicate how NGINX should communicate with the backend service.
Valid Values: HTTP, HTTPS, GRPC, GRPCS and AJP</p>
<p>By default NGINX uses <code class="codehilite">HTTP</code>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
