NGINX Access & Error Logs Configuration: Logging Explained
Summary
It has capabilities like TLS offloading, can do health checks for backends, and offers support for HTTP2, gRPC, WebSocket, and most TCP-based protocols. When running a tool like NGINX, which generally sits in front of your applications, it’s important to understand how to debug issues. In addition to the errors in your application or web server, you need to look into NGINX performance issues, as they can lead to SLA breaches, negative user experience, and more. By correlating NGINX logs and metrics, you’ll get a more holistic view of your infrastructure, which helps you identify and solve issues quickly. With Sematext Cloud, you can also collect the logs and metrics from a wide variety of tools, including HAProxy, Apache Tomcat, JVM, and Kubernetes.
