Description

Hello!

I've added the $upstream_first_byte_time to my log format in nginx.conf like this:

log_format json escape=json
...here goes some other fields...
'"upstream_first_byte_time": "$upstream_first_byte_time", '
...here goes some other fields...
;

But unfortunately the output of "nginx -V && nginx -T" is:

nginx version: nginx/1.19.0

What I am doing wrong?

Resolution: invalid

The $upstream_first_byte_time variable in only available in the stream module. For http, consider using the $upstream_header_time variable instead.

For further questions on how to configure nginx, please consider support options available.

Thanks, Maxim, it's clear now. But this should probably covered little bit more in documentation because it confused me why the other variables are worked as expected, for example the upstream_connect_time and so on.
