Multiple nginx logs

[Daniel15]

Question summary

I have Nginx configured to create one log file per hostname:

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.$server_name.log;

Is it possible for netdata to automatically create a graph per host (eg. by using /var/log/nginx/access.*.log wildcard), or do I need to manually configure each one individually in /etc/netdata/python.d/web_log.conf?

Furthermore, can I combine multiple log files into a single graph (eg. /var/log/nginx/access.www.example.com.log and /var/log/nginx/access.example.com.log)?

OS / Environment

Debian buster, Nginx 1.14.1

Component Name

web_log

Hi @Daniel15

No, it's not possible.

Yes, you need to configure each one individually. I suggest to write a script that parses log dir and creates web_log jobs, this is very easy to do.

Furthermore, can I combine multiple log files into a single graph

No.
