user1361315 asked:
Is it possible to configure nginx to create a new access log for a given host per minute?
An external process/application will be reading from these log files, and I want to make sure there are no file locking issues etc., so if I can have nginx create a new log file every minute, this way I can make sure I don’t touch the current minutes log file.
My answer:
Just going to quote from the developer here:
If you really want logging to an external process – try using mkfifo(1), but please keep in mind that this will lead to service interruption if your logging process won’t be able to cope with load. I would recommend logging to a normal file and using “tail -F /path/to/log | script” instead if you need some log processing.
