我需要一些时间数据来优化 nginx。但是我找不到$connection_time变量的含义。

官方文档解释（http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#var_connection_time）：

connection_time 

    connection time in seconds with a milliseconds resolution (1.19.10)

在访问日志中，我只知道$connection_time总是大于$request_time。

$connection_time是 http 请求使用的 TCP 连接的存活时间。

HTTP keep-alive和 HTTP/2 允许单个 TCP 连接发送和接收多个 HTTP 请求/响应。所以$connection_time应该总是大于$request_time；

我们可以使用下面的 nginx 配置文件来证明它

http {
  ...
  log_format testlog '[$time_local] "$request" connection_time= $connection_time request_time= $request_time';
}


server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    root   /www;

    location / {
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

    access_log /var/log/nginx/test.access.log testlog;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/test.error.log;

    # disable cache
    expires -1;
    add_header Last-Modified $date_gmt;
    add_header Cache-Control 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate, max-age=0';
    if_modified_since off;
    etag off;

    # disable keep alive
    location /keep-alive-off/ {
        keepalive_timeout 0;
    }

    # enable keep alive
    location /keep-alive-on/ {
        keepalive_timeout 300s;
    }

}

我们可以看到，如果关闭HTTP keep-alive以禁止 TCP 连接重用，则$request_time始终等于$connection_time
