Hello,

I have found “conditional logging” in  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_log\_module.html](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html)  
It seems that it only works on status codes.

Is there a way to disable logging for something like:

2015/07/09 11:02:30 [error] 24928#0: \*97983 directory index of  
“/foo/bar/” is forbidden, client: xx.xxx.xx.xx, server: [www.example.com](http://www.example.com),  
request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, host: “[www.example.com](http://www.example.com)”

nginx version: nginx/1.9.1

Best Regards,
