Documentation of $slow variable

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Where can i find the documentation about the $slow variable ? I see it
in lot of example, but cannot find the description…

I search for a way to don’t pass through proxy if the load of the system
is high. Instead, i want to give a page “please come back later”

thx

There is no such standard variable in nginx.

You saw probably a variable, created by the geo directive:

geo  $slow  {
    default          1;
    192.168.1.0/24   0;
    ...

You may call this variable what you will.

I saw

if ($slow) {
limit_rate 10k;
break;
}

it’s why i thought it really mean something about slow !

thx
