### Custom configuration options
Running `/nginx-ingress-controller --dump-nginx-configuration` is possible to get the value of the options that can be changed.

**Description:**
*body-size:*
Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body. See NGINX [client_max_body_size](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size)
*custom-http-errors:*
Enables which HTTP codes should be passed for processing with the [error_page directive](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#error_page)
Setting at least one code this also enables [proxy_intercept_errors](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_intercept_errors) (required to process error_page)
*enable-sticky-sessions:*
Enables sticky sessions using cookies. This is provided by [nginx-sticky-module-ng](https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng) module
*enable-vts-status:*
Allows the replacement of the default status page with a third party module named [nginx-module-vts](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts)
*error-log-level:*
Configures the logging level of errors. Log levels above are listed in the order of increasing severity
http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#error_log
*retry-non-idempotent:*
Since 1.9.13 NGINX will not retry non-idempotent requests (POST, LOCK, PATCH) in case of an error in the upstream server.
The previous behavior can be restored using the value "true"
*hsts:*
Enables or disables the header HSTS in servers running SSL.
HTTP Strict Transport Security (often abbreviated as HSTS) is a security feature (HTTP header) that tell browsers that it should only be communicated with using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/HTTP_strict_transport_security
Why HSTS is important?
*hsts-include-subdomains:*
Enables or disables the use of HSTS in all the subdomains of the servername
*hsts-max-age:*
Sets the time, in seconds, that the browser should remember that this site is only to be accessed using HTTPS.
*keep-alive:*
Sets the time during which a keep-alive client connection will stay open on the server side.
The zero value disables keep-alive client connections
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#keepalive_timeout
*max-worker-connections:*
Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be opened by each [worker process](http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#worker_connections)
*proxy-connect-timeout*:
Sets the timeout for [establishing a connection with a proxied server](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_connect_timeout). It should be noted that this timeout cannot usually exceed 75 seconds.
*proxy-read-timeout:*
Sets the timeout in seconds for [reading a response from the proxied server](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_read_timeout). The timeout is set only between two successive read operations, not for the transmission of the whole response
*proxy-send-timeout:*
Sets the timeout in seconds for [transmitting a request to the proxied server](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_send_timeout). The timeout is set only between two successive write operations, not for the transmission of the whole request.
*resolver:*
Configures name servers used to [resolve](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#resolver) names of upstream servers into addresses
*server-name-hash-max-size:*
Sets the maximum size of the [server names hash tables](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server_names_hash_max_size) used in server names, map directives values, MIME types, names of request header strings, etc.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html
*server-name-hash-bucket-size:*
Sets the size of the bucker for the server names hash tables
http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server_names_hash_bucket_size
*ssl-buffer-size:*
Sets the size of the [SSL buffer](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_buffer_size) used for sending data.
4k helps NGINX to improve TLS Time To First Byte (TTTFB)
https://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte/
*ssl-ciphers:*
Sets the [ciphers](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_ciphers) list to enable. The ciphers are specified in the format understood by the OpenSSL library
*ssl-dh-param:*
Base64 string that contains Diffie-Hellman key to help with "Perfect Forward Secrecy"
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/dhparam.html
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#DHE_handshake_and_dhparam
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_dhparam
*ssl-protocols:*
Sets the [SSL protocols](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_protocols) to use
*ssl-session-cache:*
Enables or disables the use of shared [SSL cache](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_cache) among worker processes.
*ssl-session-cache-size:*
Sets the size of the [SSL shared session cache](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_cache) between all worker processes.
*ssl-session-tickets:*
Enables or disables session resumption through [TLS session tickets](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_tickets)
*ssl-session-timeout:*
Sets the time during which a client may [reuse the session](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_timeout) parameters stored in a cache.
*upstream-max-fails:*
Sets the number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the [server](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#upstream) that should happen in the duration set by the fail_timeout parameter to consider the server unavailable
*upstream-fail-timeout:*
Sets the time during which the specified number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the [server](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#upstream) should happen to consider the server unavailable
*use-proxy-protocol:*
Enables or disables the use of the [PROXY protocol](https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/proxy-protocol/) to receive client connection (real IP address) information passed through proxy servers and load balancers such as HAproxy and Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB).
*use-gzip:*
Enables or disables the use of the nginx module that compresses responses using the ["gzip" module](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html)
*use-http2:*
Enables or disables the [HTTP/2](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_v2_module.html) support in secure connections
*gzip-types:*
MIME types in addition to "text/html" to compress. The special value "*"" matches any MIME type.
Responses with the "text/html" type are always compressed if `use-gzip` is enabled
*worker-processes:*
Sets the number of [worker processes](http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#worker_processes). By default "auto" means number of available CPU cores
