Nginx 长连接keep_alive详解_nginx keepalive timeout

如何开启并支持长连接

当使用nginx作为反向代理时，为了支持长连接，需要做到两点：

1. 从client到nginx的连接是长连接
2. 从nginx到server的连接是长连接

        从HTTP协议的角度看，nginx在这个过程中，对于客户端它扮演着HTTP服务器端的角色。而对于真正的服务器端（在nginx的术语中称为upstream）nginx又扮演着HTTP客户端的角色。

客户端（Client）和 Nginx 保持长连接，两个要求：

1. client发送的HTTP请求要求keep alive
2. nginx设置上支持keep alive

一、客户端 与 Nginx 长连接配置

        默认情况下，nginx已经自动开启了对client连接的keep alive支持。一般场景可以直接使用，但是对于一些比较特殊的场景，还是有必要调整个别参数。

keepalive_timeout 指令

keepalive_timeout指令的语法：

Syntax:    keepalive_timeout timeout [header_timeout];
Default:    keepalive_timeout 75s;
Context:    http, server, location

第一个参数设置keep-alive客户端连接在服务器端保持开启的超时值。值为0会禁用keep-alive客户端连接。可选的第二个参数在响应的header域中设置一个值“Keep-Alive: timeout=time”。这两个参数可以不一样。

注：默认75s一般情况下也够用，对于一些请求比较大的内部服务器通讯的场景，适当加大为120s或者300s。第二个参数通常可以不用设置。

keepalive_requests 指令

keepalive_requests指令用于设置一个keep-alive连接上可以服务的请求的最大数量。当最大请求数量达到时，连接被关闭。默认是100。

这个参数的真实含义，是指一个keep alive建立之后，nginx就会为这个连接设置一个计数器，记录这个keep alive的长连接上已经接收并处理的客户端请求的数量。如果达到这个参数设置的最大值时，则nginx会强行关闭这个长连接，逼迫客户端不得不重新建立新的长连接。

这个参数往往被大多数人忽略，因为大多数情况下当QPS(每秒请求数)不是很高时，默认值100凑合够用。但是，对于一些QPS比较高（比如超过10000QPS，甚至达到30000,50000甚至更高) 的场景，默认的100就显得太低。

简单计算一下，QPS=10000时，客户端每秒发送10000个请求(通常建立有多个长连接)，每个连接只能最多跑100次请求，意味着平均每秒钟就会有100个长连接因此被nginx关闭。同样意味着为了保持QPS，客户端不得不每秒中重新新建100个连接。因此，如果用netstat命令看客户端机器，就会发现有大量的TIME_WAIT的socket连接(即使此时keep alive已经在client和nginx之间生效)。

因此对于QPS较高的场景，非常有必要加大这个参数，以避免出现大量连接被生成再抛弃的情况，减少TIME_WAIT。

keepalive_requests 指令

默认值1000，单个连接中处理的最大请求数，超过这个数，连接销毁。

keepalive_disable 指令

不对某些浏览器建立长连接，默认：msie6

send_timeout 指令

两次向客户端写操作之间的间隔 如果大于这个时间则关闭连接 默认60s

此处有坑，注意耗时的同步操作有可能会丢弃用户连接

该设置表示Nginx服务器与客户端连接后，某次会话中服务器等待客户端响应超过10s，就会自动关闭连接。

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
 
 
    sendfile        on;
 
 
    keepalive_timeout  65 65; #超过这个时间 没有活动，会让keepalive失效 
    keepalive_time 1h; # 一个tcp连接总时长，超过之后 强制失效
  
    send_timeout 60;# 默认60s  此处有坑！！ 系统中 若有耗时操作，超过 send_timeout 强制断开连接。 注意：准备过程中，不是传输过程
 
 
    keepalive_requests 1000;  #一个tcp复用中 可以并发接收的请求个数

二、Nginx 与 服务端长连接配置

2.1 在 upstream 中配置

keepalive 100;

向上游服务器的保留连接数（线程池的概念）

keepalive_timeout 65

连接保留时间（单位秒）

keepalive_requests 10000

一个tcp复用中 可以并发接收的请求个数

2.2 在 server 中配置

proxy_http_version 1.1;
配置http版本号
默认使用http1.0协议，需要在request中增加”Connection： keep-alive“ header才能够支持，而HTTP1.1默认支持。
proxy_set_header Connection "";
清楚close信息
