Customize log_format

[gauravarora]

I wanted to customize the log_format but it seems I cannot in the current form. I wanted to send over a PR but I just wanted to run the implementation by you once @jwilder.

I was planning of doing the implementation in the same fashion as /etc/nginx/proxy.conf. So I will use /etc/nginx/log_format.conf and include a default log_format if the file isn't present. Does that sound like a good solution?

I tried to use custom log_format with the following steps:

1. Put my custom log_format "combined_plus" definition in .conf file in the conf.d folder which then mounted inside nginx-proxy.
2. Add access_log definition in vhost.d/domain.tld file (with the mount of vhost.d folder).

After that I've got an error:

unknown log format "combined_plus" in /etc/nginx/vhost.d/domain.tld:1

Upset.

@jwilder Sorry for the false bug report - the problem was on my side. I've named the .conf file which contains log_format directive 'okmeter.conf' so it was loaded after default.conf which is the reason of the error. After I renamed it to '00-okmeter.conf' everything works like a charm.

I suggest this issue to be closed - log_format can be customized without any problem.
