automatically log all NPM proxies in one dashboard

[StefanHuettenmoser]

Hey null-burl

Thank you very much for your work.
I found your setup guide very helpful.

I wanted to log all the traffic that gets proxied by NPM in a single dashboard and found a very convenient solution.
Feel free to adapt and include it in the readme if you find it potentialy helpful for others:

---

automatically log all proxied traffic

set the single log file in NPM

After having started NPM, create a new file ./nginx_proxy/data/nginx/custom/server_proxy.conf with the content:

access_log /data/logs/proxy_access.log proxy;

Note: The folder custom will probably not yet exists.

This will tell NPM to log all the proxy traffic in a single file.

define log file in goaccess

In the goaccess.conf file, update:
log-file /opt/log/proxy_access.log

restart the containers

docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

That's it. All you proxied traffic is now logged in a single dashboard. If you add new proxy hosts, they will automatically be included.
