Nginx Disable Access log

On a high traffic web site, i want to disable access log as we are hitting I/O Limit. Since we don’t use this access log for anything now, there is no point keep writing it to a file. To disable, you need to add following to server entry for your web site.

access_log off;

Here is an example nginx config with access logs disabled.

server {
    server_name server3.serverok.in www.server3.serverok.in;
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/ssl.cert;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/ssl.key;
    root /home/server3/public_html;
    index index.html;
    limit_rate_after 10m;
    limit_rate 512k;
    access_log off;
    location / {
        valid_referers none serverok.in www.serverok.in;
        if ($invalid_referer) {
            return 403;
        }
    }
}
