Hi,

I’m interested in adding some additional logging to some of our nginx  
proxy  
machines to make it easier to debug and monitor when things go wrong for  
users.

I’ve searched through the list and Google but couldn’t see any mention  
of a  
response body variable that I could use with a custom log format- is it  
possible already, or are there any modules that people have written to  
do  
the same?

Thanks,  
Paul
