How to disable Nginx logging?

Question

I have the following in config file

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  _;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
  ...

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  example.com
    access_log  off;
    error_log off;

But it is still keep logging for example.com virtual host. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You are missing ; after server_name directive. access_log and off are being treated as additional server_names.

Answer 2

Of course you can completely disable logging. Just point the logfiles to /dev/null and be done. ;)

access_log  /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;

Answer 3

server_name _; <- please change to spesific server name

"_" : mean catch-all server
