Capture detailed information about errors and request processing in log files, either locally or via syslog.

This article describes how to configure logging of errors and processed requests in NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus.

Setting Up the Error Log

NGINX writes information about encountered issues of different severity levels to the error log. The error_log directive sets up logging to a particular file, stderr, or syslog and specifies the minimal severity level of messages to log. By default, the error log is located at logs/error.log (the absolute path depends on the operating system and installation), and messages from all severity levels above the one specified are logged.

The configuration below changes the minimal severity level of error messages to log from error to warn:

error_log logs/error.log warn;

In this case, messages of warn, error crit, alert, and emerg levels are logged.

The default setting of the error log works globally. To override it, place the error_log directive in the main (top-level) configuration context. Settings in the main context are always inherited by other configuration levels (http, server, location). The error_log directive can be also specified at the http, stream, server and location levels and overrides the setting inherited from the higher levels. In case of an error, the message is written to only one error log, the one closest to the level where the error has occurred. However, if several error_log directives are specified on the same level, the message are written to all specified logs.

Note: The ability to specify multiple error_log directives on the same configuration level was added in NGINX Open Source version 1.5.2.

Setting Up the Access Log

NGINX writes information about client requests in the access log right after the request is processed. By default, the access log is located at logs/access.log, and the information is written to the log in the predefined combined format. To override the default setting, use the log_format directive to change the format of logged messages, as well as the access_log directive to specify the location of the log and its format. The log format is defined using variables.

The following examples define the log format that extends the predefined combined format with the value indicating the ratio of gzip compression of the response. The format is then applied to a virtual server that enables compression.

http {
    log_format compression '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
                           '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
                           '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" "$gzip_ratio"';

    server {
        gzip on;
        access_log /spool/logs/nginx-access.log compression;
        ...
    }
}

Another example of the log format enables tracking different time values between NGINX and an upstream server that may help to diagnose a problem if your website experience slowdowns. You can use the following variables to log the indicated time values:

  • $upstream_connect_time – The time spent on establishing a connection with an upstream server
  • $upstream_header_time – The time between establishing a connection and receiving the first byte of the response header from the upstream server
  • $upstream_response_time – The time between establishing a connection and receiving the last byte of the response body from the upstream server
  • $request_time – The total time spent processing a request

All time values are measured in seconds with millisecond resolution.

http {
    log_format upstream_time '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
                             '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
                             '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"'
                             'rt=$request_time uct="$upstream_connect_time" uht="$upstream_header_time" urt="$upstream_response_time"';

    server {
        access_log /spool/logs/nginx-access.log upstream_time;
        ...
    }
}

When reading the resulting time values, keep the following in mind:

  • When a request is processed through several servers, the variable contains several values separated by commas
  • When there is an internal redirect from one upstream group to another, the values are separated by semicolons
  • When a request is unable to reach an upstream server or a full header cannot be received, the variable contains 0 (zero)
  • In case of internal error while connecting to an upstream or when a reply is taken from the cache, the variable contains - (hyphen)

Logging can be optimized by enabling the buffer for log messages and the cache of descriptors of frequently used log files whose names contain variables. To enable buffering use the buffer parameter of the access_log directive to specify the size of the buffer. The buffered messages are then written to the log file when the next log message does not fit into the buffer as well as in some other cases.

To enable caching of log file descriptors, use the open_log_file_cache directive.

Similar to the error_log directive, the access_log directive defined on a particular configuration level overrides the settings from the previous levels. When processing of a request is completed, the message is written to the log that is configured on the current level, or inherited from the previous levels. If one level defines multiple access logs, the message is written to all of them.

Enabling Conditional Logging

Conditional logging allows excluding trivial or unimportant log entries from the access log. In NGINX, conditional logging is enabled by the if parameter to the access_log directive.

This example excludes requests with HTTP status codes 2xx (Success) and 3xx (Redirection):

map $status $loggable {
    ~^[23]  0;
    default 1;
}

access_log /path/to/access.log combined if=$loggable;

Usecase: Sampling TLS Parameters

Many clients use TLS versions older than TLS 1.3. Though many ciphers are declared insecure, older implementations still use them; ECC certificates offer greater performance than RSA, but not all clients can accept ECC. Many TLS attacks rely on a “man in the middle” who intercepts the cipher negotiation handshake and forces the client and server to select a less secure cipher. Therefore, it’s important to configure NGINX Plus to not support weak or legacy ciphers, but doing so may exclude legacy clients.

You can evaluate the SSL data obtained from the client and determine what proportion of clients get excluded if support for older SSL protocols and ciphers is removed.

The following configuration example logs the SSL protocol, cipher, and User-Agent header of any connected TLS client, assuming that each client selects the most recent protocol and most secure ciphers it supports.

In this example, each client is identified by its unique combination of IP address and User-Agent.

  1. Define the custom log format sslparams that includes the version of the SSL protocol ($ssl_protocol), ciphers used in the connection ($ssl_cipher), the client IP address ($remote_addr), and the value of standard User Agent HTTP request field ($http_user_agent):

    log_format sslparams '$ssl_protocol $ssl_cipher '
                      '$remote_addr "$http_user_agent"';
    
  2. Define a key-value storage that will keep the IP address of the client and its User Agent, for example, clients:

    keyval_zone zone=clients:80m timeout=3600s;
    
  3. Create a variable, for example, $seen for each unique combination of $remote_addr and User-Agent header:

    keyval $remote_addr:$http_user_agent $seen zone=clients;
    
    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
    
        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
        ssl_ciphers   HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    
        if ($seen = "") {
            set $seen  1;
            set $logme 1;
        }
        access_log  /tmp/sslparams.log sslparams if=$logme;
    
        # ...
    }
    
  4. View the log file generated with this configuration:

    TLSv1.2 AES128-SHA 1.1.1.1 "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0"
    TLSv1.2 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 2.2.2.2 "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0 Mobile/13B143 Safari/601.1"
    TLSv1.2 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 3.3.3.3 "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0"
    TLSv1.2 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 4.4.4.4 "Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.4.2; Tablet; rv:65.0) Gecko/65.0 Firefox/65.0"
    TLSv1 AES128-SHA 5.5.5.5 "Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.4.2; Tablet; rv:65.0) Gecko/65.0 Firefox/65.0"
    TLSv1.2 ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 6.6.6.6 "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 5.0.2; en-US; XT1068 Build/LXB22.46-28) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/57.0.2987.108 UCBrowser/12.10.2.1164 Mobile Safari/537.36"
    
  5. Process the log file to determine the spread of data:

    cat /tmp/sslparams.log | cut -d ' ' -f 2,2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | perl -ane 'printf "%30s %s\n", $F[1], "="x$F[0];'
    

    In this output, low‑volume, less secure ciphers are identified:

    ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 =========================
    ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 ========
                     AES128-SHA ====
    ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ==
        ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 ==
    

    Then you can check the logs to determine which clients are using these ciphers and then make a decision about removing these ciphers from the NGINX Plus configuration.

    For more information about sampling requests with NGINX conditional logging see the blog post.

Logging to Syslog

The syslog utility is a standard for computer message logging and allows collecting log messages from different devices on a single syslog server. In NGINX, logging to syslog is configured with the syslog: prefix in error_log and access_log directives.

Syslog messages can be sent to a server= which can be a domain name, an IP address, or a UNIX-domain socket path. A domain name or IP address can be specified with a port to override the default port, 514. A UNIX-domain socket path can be specified after the unix: prefix:

error_log  syslog:server=unix:/var/log/nginx.sock debug;
access_log syslog:server=[2001:db8::1]:1234,facility=local7,tag=nginx,severity=info;

In the example, NGINX error log messages are written to a UNIX domain socket at the debug logging level, and the access log is written to a syslog server with an IPv6 address and port 1234.

The facility= parameter specifies the type of program that is logging the message. The default value is local7. Other possible values are: auth, authpriv, daemon, cron, ftp, lpr, kern, mail, news, syslog, user, uucp, local0 ... local7.

The tag= parameter applies a custom tag to syslog messages (nginx in our example).

The severity= parameter sets the severity level of syslog messages for access log. Possible values in order of increasing severity are: debug, info, notice, warn, error (default), crit, alert, and emerg. Messages are logged at the specified level and all more severe levels. In our example, the severity level error also enables crit, alert, and emerg levels to be logged.

Live Activity Monitoring

NGINX Plus provides a real-time live activity monitoring interface that shows key load and performance metrics of your HTTP and TCP upstream servers. See the Live Activity Monitoring article for more information.

Error Reporting Itself

ini_set('display_errors', 1); or display_errors

Simply allows PHP to output errors — useful for debugging, highly recommended to disable for production environments. It often contains information you’d never want users to see.

error_reporting(E_ALL); or error_reporting

Simply sets exactly which errors are shown.

Setting one or the other will not guarantee that errors will be displayed. You must set both to actually see errors on your screen.

As for setting this up permanently inside your PHP config, the default for error_reporting is E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED. That said, this variable should not need changed. See here:

http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting

As for displaying errors, see here:

http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors

Set the config value of «display_errors» to either stderr or stdout, depending on your need.

Just change these variables inside of your php.ini file and you’ll be golden. Make absolutely sure both display_errors and error_reporting is set to a satisfactory value. Just setting error_reporting will not guarantee that you see the errors you’re looking for!


Error Reporting Works Everywhere Except When Connecting To My DB!

If you see errors everywhere you need to except in the Database Connection, you just need to do some error catching. If it’s PDO, do something like this:

try {
    $this->DBH->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );
    $this->DBH->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
    $STH = $this->DBH->prepare("INSERT INTO `" . $this->table . "` ($fs) value ($ins) $up");
            
    $STH->execute($data);
            
    $id = $this->DBH->lastInsertId();
            
    $this->closeDb();
            
    return $id;
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Just a snippet from my framework. Of course you’ll have to change it to your liking, but you should be able to get the general idea there. They key is this part here:

try {
    //DB Stuff
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

I Still Don’t See The Error

If you’ve done both of what I’ve listed here and still have trouble, your problem has nothing to do with enabling error reporting. The code provided will show you the error with a Database Connection itself, and inside of PHP code. You must have a completely different issue if this has not shown you an error you’re chasing.

You’ll likely need to be a bit more descriptive on exactly what you’re chasing, and what you’re expecting to see.

In this tutorial, you will learn everything you need to know about logging in
NGINX and how it can help you troubleshoot and quickly resolve any problem you
may encounter on your web server. We will discuss where the logs are stored and
how to access them, how to customize their format, and how to centralize them in
one place with Syslog or a log management service.

Here’s an outline of what you will learn by following through with this tutorial:

  • Where NGINX logs are stored and how to access them.
  • How to customize the NGINX log format and storage location to fit your needs.
  • How to utilize a structured format (such as JSON) for your NGINX logs.
  • How to centralize NGINX logs through Syslog or a managed cloud-based service.

Prerequisites

To follow through with this tutorial, you need the following:

  • A Linux server that includes a non-root user with sudo privileges. We tested
    the commands shown in this guide on an Ubuntu 20.04 server.
  • The
    NGINX web server installed
    and enabled on your server.

your logs in 5 minutes.

Step 1 — Locating the NGINX log files

NGINX writes logs of all its events in two different log files:

  • Access log: this file contains information about incoming requests and
    user visits.
  • Error log: this file contains information about errors encountered while
    processing requests, or other diagnostic messages about the web server.

The location of both log files is dependent on the host operating system of the
NGINX web server and the mode of installation. On most Linux distributions, both
files will be found in the /var/log/nginx/ directory as access.log and
error.log, respectively.

A typical access log entry might look like the one shown below. It describes an
HTTP GET request to the server for a favicon.ico file.

217.138.222.101 - - [11/Feb/2022:13:22:11 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 3650 "http://135.181.110.245/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36" "-"

Similarly, an error log entry might look like the one below, which was generated
due to the inability of the server to locate the favicon.ico file that was
requested above.

2022/02/11 13:12:24 [error] 37839#37839: *7 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/favicon.ico" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 113.31.102.176, server: _, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", host: "192.168.110.245:80"

In the next section, you’ll see how to view both NGINX log files from the
command line.

Step 2 — Viewing the NGINX log files

Examining the NGINX logs can be done in a variety of ways. One of the most
common methods involves using the tail command to view logs entries in
real-time:

sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log

You will observe the following output:

107.189.10.196 - - [14/Feb/2022:03:48:55 +0000] "POST /HNAP1/ HTTP/1.1" 404 134 "-" "Mozila/5.0"
35.162.122.225 - - [14/Feb/2022:04:11:57 +0000] "GET /.env HTTP/1.1" 404 162 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0"
45.61.172.7 - - [14/Feb/2022:04:16:54 +0000] "GET /.env HTTP/1.1" 404 197 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.129 Safari/537.36"
45.61.172.7 - - [14/Feb/2022:04:16:55 +0000] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 405 568 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.129 Safari/537.36"
45.137.21.134 - - [14/Feb/2022:04:18:57 +0000] "GET /dispatch.asp HTTP/1.1" 404 134 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 7_1_2 like Mac OS X; en-US) AppleWebKit/531.5.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8B116 Safari/6531.5.2"
23.95.100.141 - - [14/Feb/2022:04:42:23 +0000] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 0 "-" "-"
217.138.222.101 - - [14/Feb/2022:07:38:40 +0000] "GET /icons/ubuntu-logo.png HTTP/1.1" 404 197 "http://168.119.119.25/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"
217.138.222.101 - - [14/Feb/2022:07:38:42 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 197 "http://168.119.119.25/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"
217.138.222.101 - - [14/Feb/2022:07:44:02 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"
217.138.222.101 - - [14/Feb/2022:07:44:02 +0000] "GET /icons/ubuntu-logo.png HTTP/1.1" 404 197 "http://168.119.119.25/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"

The tail command prints the last 10 lines from the selected file. The -f
option causes it to continue displaying subsequent lines that are added to the
file in real-time.

To examine the entire contents of an NGINX log file, you can use the cat
command or open it in your text editor:

sudo cat /var/log/nginx/error.log

If you want to filter the lines that contain a specific term, you can use the
grep command as shown below:

sudo grep "GET /favicon.ico" /var/log/nginx/access.log

The command above will print all the lines that contain GET /favicon.ico so we
can see how many requests were made for that resource.

Step 3 — Configuring NGINX access logs

The NGINX access log stores data about incoming client requests to the server
which is beneficial when deciphering what users are doing in the application,
and what resources are being requested. In this section, you will learn how to
configure what data is stored in the access log.

One thing to keep in mind while following through with the instructions below is
that you’ll need to restart the nginx service after modifying the config file
so that the changes can take effect.

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Enabling the access log

The NGINX access Log should be enabled by default. However, if this is not the
case, you can enable it manually in the Nginx configuration file
(/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) using the access_log directive within the http
block.

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Copied!

http {
  access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
}

This directive is also applicable in the server and location configuration
blocks for a specific website:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Copied!

server {
   access_log /var/log/nginx/app1.access.log;

  location /app2 {
    access_log /var/log/nginx/app2.access.log;
  }
}

Disabling the access log

In cases where you’d like to disable the NGINX access log, you can use the
special off value:

You can also disable the access log on a virtual server or specific URIs by
editing its server or location block configuration in the
/etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory:

server {
  listen 80;

  access_log off;

  location ~* \.(woff|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
    access_log off;
  }
}

Logging to multiple access log files

If you’d like to duplicate the access log entries in separate files, you can do
so by repeating the access_log directive in the main config file or in a
server block as shown below:

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/combined.log;

Don’t forget to restart the nginx service afterward:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Explanation of the default access log format

The access log entries produced using the default configuration will look like
this:

127.0.0.1 alice Alice [07/May/2021:10:44:53 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 396 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4531.93 Safari/537.36"

Here’s a breakdown of the log message above:

  • 127.0.0.1: the IP address of the client that made the request.
  • alice: remote log name (name used to log in a user).
  • Alice: remote username (username of logged-in user).
  • [07/May/2021:10:44:53 +0200] : date and time of the request.
  • "GET / HTTP/1.1" : request method, path and protocol.
  • 200: the HTTP response code.
  • 396: the size of the response in bytes.
  • "-": the IP address of the referrer (- is used when the it is not
    available).
  • "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4531.93 Safari/537.36"
    detailed user agent information.

Step 4 — Creating a custom log format

Customizing the format of the entries in the access log can be done using the
log_format directive, and it can be placed in the http, server or
location blocks as needed. Here’s an example of what it could look like:

log_format custom '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] ' '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

This yields a log entry in the following format:

217.138.222.109 - - [14/Feb/2022:10:38:35 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 197 "http://192.168.100.1/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"

The syntax for configuring an access log format is shown below. First, you need
to specify a nickname for the format that will be used as its identifier, and
then the log format string that represents the details and formatting for each
log message.

log_format <nickname> '<formatting_variables>';

Here’s an explanation of each variable used in the custom log format shown
above:

  • $remote_addr: the IP address of the client
  • $remote_user: information about the user making the request
  • $time_local: the server’s date and time.
  • $request: actual request details like path, method, and protocol.
  • $status: the response code.
  • $body_bytes_sent: the size of the response in bytes.
  • $http_referer: the IP address of the HTTP referrer.
  • $http_user_agent: detailed user agent information.

You may also use the following variables in your custom log format
(see here for the complete list):

  • $upstream_connect_time: the time spent establishing a connection with an
    upstream server.
  • $upstream_header_time: the time between establishing a connection and
    receiving the first byte of the response header from the upstream server.
  • $upstream_response_time: the time between establishing a connection and
    receiving the last byte of the response body from the upstream server.
  • $request_time: the total time spent processing a request.
  • $gzip_ratio: ration of gzip compression (if gzip is enabled).

After you create a custom log format, you can apply it to a log file by
providing a second parameter to the access_log directive:

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log custom;

You can use this feature to log different information in to separate log files.
Create the log formats first:

log_format custom '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] ' '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' '"$http_referer"';
log_format agent "$http_user_agent";

Then, apply them as shown below:

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log custom;
access_log /var/log/nginx/agent_access.log agent;

This configuration ensures that user agent information for all incoming requests
are logged into a separate access log file.

Step 5 — Formatting your access logs as JSON

A common way to customize NGINX access logs is to format them as JSON. This is
quite straightforward to achieve by combining the log_format directive with
the escape=json parameter introduced in Nginx 1.11.8 to escape characters that
are not valid in JSON:

log_format custom_json escape=json
  '{'
    '"time_local":"$time_local",'
    '"remote_addr":"$remote_addr",'
    '"remote_user":"$remote_user",'
    '"request":"$request",'
    '"status": "$status",'
    '"body_bytes_sent":"$body_bytes_sent",'
    '"request_time":"$request_time",'
    '"http_referrer":"$http_referer",'
    '"http_user_agent":"$http_user_agent"'
  '}';

After applying the custom_json format to a log file and restarting the nginx
service, you will observe log entries in the following format:

{
  "time_local": "14/Feb/2022:11:25:44 +0000",
  "remote_addr": "217.138.222.109",
  "remote_user": "",
  "request": "GET /icons/ubuntu-logo.png HTTP/1.1",
  "status": "404",
  "body_bytes_sent": "197",
  "request_time": "0.000",
  "http_referrer": "http://192.168.100.1/",
  "http_user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.87 Safari/537.36"
}

Step 6 — Configuring NGINX error logs

Whenever NGINX encounters an error, it stores the event data in the error log so
that it can be referred to later by a system administrator. This section will
describe how to enable and customize the error logs as you see fit.

Enabling the error log

The NGINX error log should be enabled by default. However, if this is not the
case, you can enable it manually in the relevant NGINX configuration file
(either at the http, server, or location levels) using the error_log
directive.

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

The error_log directive can take two parameters. The first one is the location
of the log file (as shown above), while the second one is optional and sets the
severity level of the log. Events with a lower severity level than set one will
not be logged.

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;

These are the possible levels of severity (from lowest to highest) and their
meaning:

  • debug: messages used for debugging.
  • info: informational messages.
  • notice: a notable event occurred.
  • warn: something unexpected happened.
  • error: something failed.
  • crit: critical conditions.
  • alert: errors that require immediate action.
  • emerg: the system is unusable.

Disabling the error log

The NGINX error log can be disabled by setting the error_log directive to
off or by redirecting it to /dev/null:

error_log off;
error_log /dev/null;

Logging errors into multiple files

As is the case with access logs, you can log errors into multiple files, and you
can use different severity levels too:

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
error_log /var/log/nginx/emerg_error.log emerg;

This configuration will log every event except those at the debug level event
to the error.log file, while emergency events are placed in a separate
emerg_error.log file.

Step 7 — Sending NGINX logs to Syslog

Apart from logging to a file, it’s also possible to set up NGINX to transport
its logs to the syslog service especially if you’re already using it for other
system logs. Logging to syslog is done by specifying the syslog: prefix to
either the access_log or error_log directive:

error_log  syslog:server=unix:/var/log/nginx.sock debug;
access_log syslog:server=[127.0.0.1]:1234,facility=local7,tag=nginx,severity=info;

Log messages are sent to a server which can be specified in terms of a domain
name, IPv4 or IPv6 address or a UNIX-domain socket path.

In the example above, error log messages are sent to a UNIX domain socket at the
debug logging level, while the access log is written to a syslog server with
an IPv4 address and port 1234. The facility= parameter specifies the type of
program that is logging the message, the tag= parameter applies a custom tag
to syslog messages, and the severity= parameter sets the severity level of
the syslog entry for access log messages.

For more information on using Syslog to manage your logs, you can check out our
tutorial on viewing and configuring system logs on
Linux.

Step 8 — Centralizing your NGINX logs

In this section, we’ll describe how you can centralize your NGINX logs in a log
management service through Vector, a
high-performance tool for building observability pipelines. This is a crucial
step when administrating multiple servers so that you can monitor all your logs
in one place (you can also centralize your logs with an Rsyslog
server).

The following instructions assume that you’ve signed up for a free
Logtail account and retrieved your source
token. Go ahead and follow the relevant
installation instructions for Vector
for your operating system. For example, on Ubuntu, you may run the following
commands to install the Vector CLI:

curl -1sLf \ 'https://repositories.timber.io/public/vector/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \ | sudo -E bash

After Vector is installed, confirm that it is up and running through
systemctl:

You should observe that it is active and running:

● vector.service - Vector
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vector.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2022-02-08 10:52:59 UTC; 48s ago
       Docs: https://vector.dev
    Process: 18586 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/vector validate (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 18599 (vector)
      Tasks: 3 (limit: 2275)
     Memory: 6.8M
     CGroup: /system.slice/vector.service
             └─18599 /usr/bin/vector

Otherwise, go ahead and start it with the command below.

sudo systemctl start vector

Afterward, change into a root shell and append your Logtail vector configuration
for NGINX into the /etc/vector/vector.toml file using the command below. Don’t
forget to replace the <your_logtail_source_token> placeholder below with your
source token.

wget -O ->> /etc/vector/vector.toml \
    https://logtail.com/vector-toml/nginx/<your_logtail_source_token>

Then restart the vector service:

sudo systemctl restart vector

You will observe that your NGINX logs will start coming through in Logtail:

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned about the different types of logs that the NGINX
web server keeps, where you can find them, how to understand their formatting.
We also discussed how to create your own custom log formats (including a
structured JSON format), and how to log into multiple files at once. Finally, we
demonstrated the process of sending your logs to Syslog or a log management
service so that you can monitor them all in one place.

Thanks for reading, and happy logging!

В этом руководстве мы расскажем о различных способах того, как в PHP включить вывод ошибок. Мы также обсудим, как записывать ошибки в журнал (лог).

Как быстро показать все ошибки PHP

Самый быстрый способ отобразить все ошибки и предупреждения php — добавить эти строки в файл PHP:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Что именно делают эти строки?

Функция ini_set попытается переопределить конфигурацию, найденную в вашем ini-файле PHP.

Display_errors и display_startup_errors — это только две из доступных директив. Директива display_errors определяет, будут ли ошибки отображаться для пользователя. Обычно директива dispay_errors не должна использоваться для “боевого” режима работы сайта, а должна использоваться только для разработки.

display_startup_errors — это отдельная директива, потому что display_errors не обрабатывает ошибки, которые будут встречаться во время запуска PHP. Список директив, которые могут быть переопределены функцией ini_set, находится в официальной документации .

К сожалению, эти две директивы не смогут отображать синтаксические ошибки, такие как пропущенные точки с запятой или отсутствующие фигурные скобки.

Отображение ошибок PHP через настройки в php.ini

Если ошибки в браузере по-прежнему не отображаются, то добавьте директиву:

display_errors = on

Директиву display_errors следует добавить в ini-файл PHP. Она отобразит все ошибки, включая синтаксические ошибки, которые невозможно отобразить, просто вызвав функцию ini_set в коде PHP.

Актуальный INI-файл можно найти в выводе функции phpinfo (). Он помечен как “загруженный файл конфигурации” (“loaded configuration file”).

Отображать ошибки PHP через настройки в .htaccess

Включить или выключить отображение ошибок можно и с помощью файла .htaccess, расположенного в каталоге сайта.

php_flag display_startup_errors on
php_flag display_errors on

.htaccess также имеет директивы для display_startup_errors и display_errors.

Вы можете настроить display_errors в .htaccess или в вашем файле PHP.ini. Однако многие хостинг-провайдеры не разрешают вам изменять ваш файл PHP.ini для включения display_errors.

В файле .htaccess также можно включить настраиваемый журнал ошибок, если папка журнала или файл журнала доступны для записи. Файл журнала может быть относительным путем к месту расположения .htaccess или абсолютным путем, например /var/www/html/website/public/logs.

php_value error_log logs/all_errors.log

Включить подробные предупреждения и уведомления

Иногда предупреждения приводят к некоторым фатальным ошибкам в определенных условиях. Скрыть ошибки, но отображать только предупреждающие (warning) сообщения можно вот так:

error_reporting(E_WARNING);

Для отображения предупреждений и уведомлений укажите «E_WARNING | E_NOTICE».

Также можно указать E_ERROR, E_WARNING, E_PARSE и E_NOTICE в качестве аргументов. Чтобы сообщить обо всех ошибках, кроме уведомлений, укажите «E_ALL & ~ E_NOTICE», где E_ALL обозначает все возможные параметры функции error_reporting.

Более подробно о функции error_reporting ()

Функция сообщения об ошибках — это встроенная функция PHP, которая позволяет разработчикам контролировать, какие ошибки будут отображаться. Помните, что в PHP ini есть директива error_reporting, которая будет задана ​​этой функцией во время выполнения.

error_reporting(0);

Для удаления всех ошибок, предупреждений, сообщений и уведомлений передайте в функцию error_reporting ноль. Можно сразу отключить сообщения отчетов в ini-файле PHP или в .htaccess:

error_reporting(E_NOTICE);

PHP позволяет использовать переменные, даже если они не объявлены. Это не стандартная практика, поскольку необъявленные переменные будут вызывать проблемы для приложения, если они используются в циклах и условиях.

Иногда это также происходит потому, что объявленная переменная имеет другое написание, чем переменная, используемая для условий или циклов. Когда E_NOTICE передается в функцию error_reporting, эти необъявленные переменные будут отображаться.

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

Функция сообщения об ошибках позволяет вам фильтровать, какие ошибки могут отображаться. Символ «~» означает «нет», поэтому параметр ~ E_NOTICE означает не показывать уведомления. Обратите внимание на символы «&» и «|» между возможными параметрами. Символ «&» означает «верно для всех», в то время как символ «|» представляет любой из них, если он истинен. Эти два символа имеют одинаковое значение в условиях PHP OR и AND.

error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

Эти три строки кода делают одно и то же, они будут отображать все ошибки PHP. Error_reporting(E_ALL) наиболее широко используется разработчиками для отображения ошибок, потому что он более читабелен и понятен.

Включить ошибки php в файл с помощью функции error_log ()

У сайта на хостинге сообщения об ошибках не должны показываться конечным пользователям, но эта информация все равно должна быть записана в журнал (лог).

Простой способ использовать файлы журналов — использовать функцию error_log, которая принимает четыре параметра. Единственный обязательный параметр — это первый параметр, который содержит подробную информацию об ошибке или о том, что нужно регистрировать. Тип, назначение и заголовок являются необязательными параметрами.

error_log("There is something wrong!", 0);

Параметр type, если он не определен, будет по умолчанию равен 0, что означает, что эта информация журнала будет добавлена ​​к любому файлу журнала, определенному на веб-сервере.

error_log("Email this error to someone!", 1, "someone@mydomain.com");

Параметр 1 отправит журнал ошибок на почтовый ящик, указанный в третьем параметре. Чтобы эта функция работала, PHP ini должен иметь правильную конфигурацию SMTP, чтобы иметь возможность отправлять электронные письма. Эти SMTP-директивы ini включают хост, тип шифрования, имя пользователя, пароль и порт. Этот вид отчетов рекомендуется использовать для самых критичных ошибок.

error_log("Write this error down to a file!", 3, "logs/my-errors.log");

Для записи сообщений в отдельный файл необходимо использовать тип 3. Третий параметр будет служить местоположением файла журнала и должен быть доступен для записи веб-сервером. Расположение файла журнала может быть относительным путем к тому, где этот код вызывается, или абсолютным путем.

Журнал ошибок PHP через конфигурацию веб-сервера

Лучший способ регистрировать ошибки — это определить их в файле конфигурации веб-сервера.

Однако в этом случае вам нужно попросить администратора сервера добавить следующие строки в конфигурацию.

Пример для Apache:

ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/my-website-error.log"

В nginx директива называется error_log.

error_log /var/log/nginx/my-website-error.log;

Теперь вы знаете, как в PHP включить отображение ошибок. Надеемся, что эта информация была вам полезна.

As I am developing my project using docker, with an image that has nginx installed, if any error happens, I will only see this:

502 Bad Gateway

nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

Currently, the only way to see what’s going on is checking storage/logs which is fine, but shouldn’t the log error get viewed in the browser too instead of just seeing 502 Bad Gateway ?

in my .env:

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true

Any idea?

EDIT

If there is no error in my app, I would see it normally in the browser, I just see the 502 Bad Gateway error when I have an error in Laravel app

Error would be:
