Description

The upstream log module writes upstream request logs in the specified format, similar to ngx_http_log_module but specifically for upstream requests. This allows separate logging of upstream/backend traffic for debugging and analytics purposes. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_upstream_log_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
