Hmm nginx cannot natively do piped logging?

I like the idea of combined javascript and stylesheets but I'd rather force the combining from the server-side, not a special client-side request. ie.

   location /style.css {
      root /css;
      combine style1.css+style2.css+style3.css;
   }
Ohhh... agentzh wrote the fork? The one who made many popular modules?

"No, nginx will not support logging to a pipe since this is simlpy waste of CPU."

Interesting, so to rotate nginx logs do you have to restart nginx?

I always though piped logging was required to rotate logs without restart.

I love the graceful restart and even the replace the executable on the fly nginx has.


You can send a USR1 signal to nginx. http://wiki.nginx.org/LogRotation


No really, agentzh and chaoslawful developed the nginx_lua module. It's included in Tengine.

Tengine is maintained by many other developers (in Chinese): https://github.com/taobao/tengine/wiki/%E7%A4%BE%E5%8C%BA%E5...


Looks like concat is available as it's own module:

https://github.com/taobao/nginx-http-concat

and another attempt by someone else here:

https://github.com/lindsayevans/nginx-static-concat

But both of them rely on or accept client-side concat, I'd rather just do it server-side only for security/control.


Tengine is a result of teamwork. And agentzh is one of the core developers of Tengine.
