Notes
To verify that you are receiving objects properly from the SkyCache feed, look in the HTTP logs and verify that objects that
are requested from the SkyCache CA are being retrieved with a retrieval method of SIBLING_HIT. If objects are being retrieved
directly and not via the SkyCache CA, you will want to make sure your peering with the SkyCache CA is setup properly.
Statistics about hit rates and performance within the web management interface will be tainted by the SkyCache feed, due to the method involved in getting objects into the cache. Counters for hit rate percentages in particular will appear much lower than their actual value. To get accurate numbers for cache performance, logs will need to be pulled from the server and post-processed with connections from the SkyCache CA removed.
