NGINX Error Logs
Site24x7 AppLogs is an agent-based log management tool on the cloud that natively facilitates effective and simple management for NGINX error logs. It separates critical data in a simple and accessible format by segregating them into components like date & time, log level, process ID, thread ID, unique ID, and message. Learn more about log management with Site24x7.
Getting started
- Log in to your Site24x7 account.
- Download and install the Site24x7 Server Monitoring agent (Windows | Linux).
- Go to Admin > AppLogs > Log Profile and Add Log Profile.
Logs file path
Each application writes logs in different folders and files. By default, NGINX error logs are sourced from the below-mentioned folder path for the respective Operating System. If you have logs in a different folder, you can mention it under the File Path to source them from that particular folder while creating a log profile.
Log pattern
This is the default log pattern defined by Site24x7 for parsing NGINX error logs based on the sample log mentioned below.
Sample log
2017/08/01 01:05:50 error 28148#28148: *154 FastCGI sent in stderr
The above sample log can be separated into 6 fields, each of which will take its respective value from here and will then be uploaded to Site24x7.
| Field name | Field value |
| Date Time | 2017/08/01 01:05:50 |
| Log Level | error |
| Process ID | 28148 |
| Thread ID | #28148 |
| Unique ID | -*154 |
| Message | FastCGI sent in stderr |
