Description Carlos Goncalves 2019-10-08 22:38:24 UTC 
Director parameter "OctaviaConnectionLogging" allows to enable/disable connection flow logging in amphorae. It is of type boolean and is enabled ("true") by default for some reasons such as:

- Performance is marginally impacted if disabled in most scenarios.
- Amphorae have log rotation on. Logs are unlikely to fill up disks.
- The logs are useful for helping customers figure out what they did wrong.
- The logs can provide evidence if someone abused/misused/hacked a service behind the LB.
- The logs can help troubleshoot eventual issues.


Applicable to OSP 13 on.
