1933	nginx -t does not write to set error log	unifiedstreaming@…		"When error log is set to another file and using a higher loglevel nginx will

a) still log
b) write to the default logs/error.log file, not the set file

In other words 

error_log logs/other-error.log warn;

has no effect on

ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_NOTICE, cf->log, 0, "" ...

(where 'cf' is of ngx_conf_t*)

I would expect nginx to not log (because log level is 'warn' and is the log levels match to write to 'other-error.log' - or do I misunderstand something?

Best, 

Dirk
