Description

http://nginx.org/en/docs/syntax.html

According to the document above default time value for nginx.conf time values default to seconds when a time suffix is not provided. The default created /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file contains time values that do not have "s" suffix.

Please refer to the following discussion for more context:
https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-nginx/issues/1137

Following is extracted from the URL above:


Looking at the nginx source code it seems to me the values are interpreted by default in miliseconds, eg. the source shows:

ngx_conf_merge_msec_value(conf->keepalive_timeout,

prev->keepalive_timeout, 75000);

ngx_conf_merge_msec_value(conf->client_body_timeout,

prev->client_body_timeout, 60000);

ngx_conf_merge_msec_value(conf->send_timeout, prev->send_timeout, 60000);

ngx_conf_merge_msec_value(conf->lingering_timeout,

prev->lingering_timeout, 5000);

The documentation is correct, time values without the suffix are always interpreted in seconds. Please see the code in ngx_conf_set_msec_slot(), ngx_conf_set_sec_slot(), and the logic behind the last argument is_sec in ngx_parse_time().

Explanation: ngx_parse_time() returns the value either in seconds or milliseconds, depending on the last argument's value. In both cases, the input passed without any suffix is interpreted as a value in second (and gets multiplied by 1000 in case the function is instructed to return milliseconds). That's why you see the default values in milliseconds in ngx_conf_merge_msec_value() calls.
