nginx: log empty calls

  • 772

Does nginx have an option to ignore health checks or buckets from load balancer against nodes? There are thousands of entries like

93.190.2.176 - - [24/Jul/2012:08:56:59 +0200] "-" 400 0 "-" "-"

in my access.log which are useless to me.

Thanks for a tip

  2. You can turn off access_log in your global server config file and turn it on only in selected locations.

  3. If you can configure your health check to pull a particular url then you can turn off access logging for it specifically

    location = /health.php {

 access_log     off;
 ...
}
