Cool!

Question -

Is there any way nginx can support conditional error logging and
conditional debugging?

Turning on debugging for an entire server produces way too much
output. I’d love to be able to turn on debugging anywhere. From server
{} or location {} or even an if statement. This was one thing that
lighttpd was great with.

Same with error logging - there are a couple conditions where I’d like
to turn error_log off - but error_log is a global setting.

These two things would make my life a bit easier. Especially the
debugging one. I have the misfortune of supporting a complex site
setup with a ton of rewrites and a handful of location blocks and
such, and it helps to be able to debug which one(s) are being
triggered, but each HTTP request produces like 50-60 lines of output -
and one page might trigger 10-20 HTTP requests easily. That’s a lot of
scroll and text to deal with …

Thanks :slight_smile:

Just a thought - but how about doing -RC’s (or some kind of SCM -
please don’t turn this thread into a bike-shed about SCM tho) and
setting up a simple buildbot system that us users can connect to? This
would further enhance the quality of these releases.

I for one have a couple of hosts that i could add to this rotation,
and perhaps other users have some less used operating systems to
submit.

Oh! Cool! I must have missed debug_connection. I will have to try that
out. Also I think the wiki says error_log is only in global scope not
server

You may set error_log per server or location, but not inside “if”.
As to a debugging error_log, I have found that is more convenient
to set it per IP-address:

error_log /path/to/log notice;

events {
debug_connection 192.168.1.0/24;
debug_connection 192.168.10.1;
}

May I ask when (if) these changes will be backported to 6.xx stable
branch?

Thanks,
