Description

We use nginx stream for tcp TLS termination.
The connections are long running.
nginx logs only once a connection is closed. (when a request is completed).
For our purposes it would be useful if a new connection is immediately logged with the client ip, server, port. so we can correlate that to other events on the backend where we cannot see the client ip.

How can we do that with nginx?
