I have tried both ways.
So far I think the best solution is make new default servers that have
access_log off;
I.e.
# Dummy entry to stop empty tcp opens in the logs
server {
listen 80 default;
access_log off;
}
server {
listen 80
server_name example.com
access_log /path/to/log;
}
This way I don't have to put access_log directives in all of my location
directives.
Is this suitable or am I missing something important?
Thanks,
Zev
