I'm running NGINX inside docker container. By default NGINX logs to stdout so running
docker logs container-name
gives you the contents of NGINX access log.
I'm trying to change the default access log format for NGINX but somehow I can only define additional access log that will print to stdout instead of reformating the default one (Both get printed). I tried different combinations of NGINX conf files but nothing works for me.
This is my nginx.conf file contents
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
#default log format
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_cf_connecting_ip"';
access_log off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;
}
and this additional conf file is included in include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf; line:
server {
listen 80;
root /app;
index index.php;
server_name automad-docker.local;
client_max_body_size 100M;
#default log format
access_log /dev/stdout main;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
What i get in the logs:
172.17.0.1 - - [22/Mar/2024:18:36:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 55020 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Nexus 5 Build/MRA58N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.138 Mobile Safari/537.36" "101.35.***.***"
127.0.0.1 - 22/Mar/2024:18:36:37 +0000 "GET /index.php" 200
What I want to get in the logs:
172.17.0.1 - - [22/Mar/2024:18:36:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 55020 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Nexus 5 Build/MRA58N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.138 Mobile Safari/537.36" "101.35.***.***"
