Description
I am trying to setup conditional logging so that POST requests with a debug header are routed to a separate logfile. If the debug header is not set, or it is set to false, then $debug value will be 0. If it is set to true, $debug value will be 1. The request should be logged to one of two files depending on the value of $debug, using a conditional (if=$debug and if=!$debug).
map $http_debug $debug {
default 0;
“false" 0;
"true" 1;
}
location = /events {
if ($request_method = POST) {
echo_read_request_body;
access_log /path/to/logfile/access_post.log post_events_format if=!$debug;
access_log /path/to/logfile/access_post_header.log events_header_format if=$debug;
break;
}
I would expect the above conditional to log a $debug=0 request to access_post.log, and a $debug=1 request to access_post_header.log. In actuality, the $debug=0 requests are logged to access_post.log, and $debug=1 requests are logged to both access_post_header.log and access_post.log.
The
!symbol has no special meaning. A quote from the documentation:So the
!$debugcondition always evaluates to a non-empty string, since it contains at least one character and it's not 0.
