Description

Hi,

It would be helpful to be able to disable nginx access logging, to a remote syslog server - reduce the bandwidth used for all the messages sent. Make this a GUI option I assume, and then set the syslog configuration accordingly?

Thanks!

FYI, a snippet from the start of my /var/etc/syslog.d/pfSense.conf file (remote-hostname replaced for security). Not sure all those *.* lines should be there, over and over ... should they?

And to try to help, make this easier if possible. Some info here,
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/153755/disable-nginx-access-log-to-remote-syslog-server/3

This does seem to work, the key thing is if the access log is disabled, just set,

access_log off;

Thanks!
