Extender Configuration

Configuring Extender Log Location

By default PrivX Extender logs info and errors to /var/log/privx/privx-extender.log

If you want to enable logging to syslog, specify the rsyslog address and protocol in /opt/privx/etc/extender-config.toml, similar to the following:

syslog_protocol="tcp"
syslog_address="localhost:514"

Restart PrivX Extender to apply the changes. In addition make sure rsyslog is enabled on the extender host:

# systemctl restart privx-extender
# systemctl restart rsyslog

Custom Load-Balancer Support

If you are using a custom load balancer, ensure that its session-affinity cookie (also known as a sticky-session cookie) is accepted by all your PrivX Extenders:

1. Add the name of the session-affinity cookie to the known_lb_cookies setting. The setting is in the Extender at /opt/privx/etc/extender-config.toml.

2. Restart the Extender with:

   # systemctl restart privx-extender

See PrivX high availability deployment for more information.
