Logging POST body

Server NGINX
1

I am using ngixing as a reverse proxy in front of apache (PHP) as a load
balancer and a logger. For some endpoints, I want to log their POST
bodies
and I looked up the Web and found some solution requiring to install
HttpEchoModule. Is there any other way of achieving this? Preferably
without
installing any new module?

Yes, you can access a request body either via $request_body
variable, or with, if it’s saved to a file, via $request_body_file
variable.
