If possible you can point your monitoring server to a special file and do it like this: location /monitoring.php { access_log off; } binaryanomaly 2014-04-07T13:50:17+08:002014-04-07T13:50:17+08:00 I would recommend you the same but slightly different: location /monitoring.php { access_log monitor.log; } separate location for monitoring separate monitoring log file This gives you the advantage of separating the monitoring entries from the real production logs but still you have everything at hand if needed.
