[QUOTE=mitsumoto;80948]Hello All!

Help me please.  
Which format should be used to log in nginx Webalizer?  
I get inflated statistics

```auto
    log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] 
"$request" '
                        '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                        '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
```

```auto
#virtual host
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.ru;
        access_log /var/log/nginx.access_log main;

        charset windows-1251;
        client_max_body_size 4m;

        location / {
            root /usr/local/www/example.ru;
            index index.html index.php;
        }

    }
```

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Hi gloomen,

I think you need to log each virtual server to a different log file.

What I suspect is happening is that that log file is getting logs from  
other virtual servers  
or the main server, and that is inflating your figures.

And I don’t think your log\_format command is necessary either. I don’t  
have a log\_format command  
and webalizer works just fine.

Regards

Ian
