I've recently taken over as Sysadmin of a site, and the first thing I noticed was that there were two Nginx access_log
s defined: access.log
and access_new.log
, and they were both being written to.
Looking around the configuration I could see that in the http
section of nginx.conf
it defined access.log
as the access_log
, and in the sites-enabled/mysite
configuration it defined access_new.log
as the log. I am curious as to why both of these logs would b written to: surely the configuration for the site would override the default config?
