Component body

Cache Bypass Path is a lightweight module which simply provides a non cached path accessible only by a hash. This is intended for Drupal installations that have a Varnish Caching Layer. Without the correct hash the path is simply a 404. With the hash, a request can be made directly to Drupal, bypassing the VCL. This is useful for site health checks where varnish caching is on.

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See: https://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7 for further information.

Configuration

1. Navigate to admin/config/development/cache-bypass-path to see the current cache bypass path. You can also regenerate it here.
