Can i change time format in access log?

Hi, EveryBody!

I am really happy with nginx from now.
but I have one question.

I want to customize time format in access log, because of calculating
time.
There are two kind of time format in log_format.
one is $time_local. (21/Mar/2013:18:47:32 +0900)
another one is $time_iso8601. (2013-03-26T10:27:40+09:00)
but, these are not matched by my demand.

I want to log time likes “2013-03-25 16:35:35”…

can i customize time format ?

There’s a third one, $msec. It’s time in seconds since UNIX Epoch,
with a milliseconds resolution, convenient if you need to further
process your logs and do time calculations.

Such a customization isn’t possible.

Thank you very much! :slight_smile:

I have one more question about access log.
there is a +0900 in 21/Mar/2013:18:47:32 +0900,
2013-03-26T10:27:40+09:00

what does +0900 mean?
