+server {
+    listen 8080;
+
+    # - add response header
+    add_header "x-datapath-instance" "<datapath_id>" always;
+
+    default_type text/plain;
+
+    location / {
+        status_zone systest_loc_200;
+        return 200 "hello from datapath <datapath_id>\n";
+    }
+
+    location /4xx {
+        status_zone systest_loc_4xx;
+        return 400 "fake 400 from datapath <datapath_id>\n";
+    }
+
+    location /5xx {
+        status_zone systest_loc_5xx;
+        return 500 "fake 500 from datapath <datapath_id>\n";
+    }
