I suspect that what you are asking for probably breaks the current nginx processing and logging model, and would probably require significant code changes. You are welcome to submit a patch for it -- after either having written one, or incentivised someone to write one for you -- and it will presumably be considered for inclusion in the stock nginx code. (And if it isn't included in stock, you can always use it in your version.) But you may find there is a simpler way to achieve your desired end result. > Well, I'm exactly in this situation described here > https://serverfault.com/questions/498799/how-to-log-nginx-requests-made-to-a-specific-location-in-a-different-file > I want to use "try_files" and log the access within the location with > "try_files" directive... As you probably know, that will do what you say you want if the file $document_root$uri is present, and not otherwise. > location /my_system { > access_log /var/log/nginx/my_system_access.log; > try_files $uri @named_loc; > } > location @named_loc { > access_log off; > proxy_pass http://...; > } > > ... and I can't!

As you say, you can change the config to match what nginx does to what you want. Alternatively, you could possibly post-process the log files to end up with what you want -- either read the old log files and split the contents according to what you want; or maybe have nginx write to a stream, and have your own processor reading that stream and writing each log entry to your desired place for it. > Is there a way to include the "now" directive to "access_log"? > Something like: "access_log /var/log/nginx/my_system_access.log now;" I suspect: only if you provide the code to do so.
