Nginx logs per seconds

[maorbari]

Hi,
I get flood of logs in nginx.
How I can do that the logs will be save in memory for one second and than write it from memory to logs files per second and not any query?
I mean log all in memory and output to log it one per second.
Thanks.

Hello,

You can enable buffering for access logs:

When buffering is enabled, the data will be written to the file:

• if the next log line does not fit into the buffer;
• if the buffered data is older than specified by the flush parameter (1.3.10, 1.2.7);
• when a worker process is re-opening log files or is shutting down.

and disable logging of errors about not found files into error_log:

log_not_found on;

But with buffer it do it only once.. and than it continue to write like before..
Another idea?

Two more options:

1. completely disable logging in nginx
2. in case you've got enough RAM mount /var/log/nginx/ as tmpfs.

How to make the option 2?
Do you have tutorial for this?
Thank you!
