Nginx udplog module (v 1.0.0)

rus eng

This module implements logging via BSD Syslog Protocol for nginx web server (RFC 3164).

Description

The module sends access log messages via BSD Syslog Protocol to specified host at port 514 using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as transport.

Configuration directives

syntax: access_udplog <hostname | IP address | off> [ <log format> ]
default: N/A
severity: optional
context: main, server, location, if, limit_access

Enables logging via BSD Syslog Protocol. Applies only to access log messages. The first argument specifies the name of the host where the messages will be sent to. The second argument specifies the name of format of log messages, defined by the directive log_format. If the argument is omitted, "combined" will be used.

The facility of log messages is Local7 (23), severity is Info (6) and they currently could not be changed.

Multiple occurances of this directive instruct nginx to send every log message to multiple hosts.

Example configuration

server {

    [...]

    access_udplog 192.168.2.4;

    location /test {
        access_udplog off;

        [...]
    }
}
