I am using NGINX as reverse proxy and forward the traffic to Apache  
server  
where Google Analytics is configured. I have configured proxy\_set\_header  
and  
from Apache server I can view users IP address. But in Googel Analytics  
users session droped. I am wonder where there is any other  
configuration  
need to be done?

Thanks  
Fakrul

Google analytics code (the JavaScript) isn’t served from your server. I  
don’t quite understand what your problem is?

Google analytics code (the JavaScript) works properly when I point my  
domain to apache server. But when I point my domain to nginx (as reverse  
proxy); Google Analytics statistics get dropped and it doesn’t show the  
actual users hits.
