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?
# Automatically generated, do not edit! !* auth.*;authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log *.* @remote-hostname !radvd,routed,zebra,ospfd,ospf6d,bgpd,miniupnpd,igmpproxy *.* /var/log/routing.log *.* @remote-hostname !ntp,ntpd,ntpdate *.* /var/log/ntpd.log *.* @remote-hostname !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log *.* @remote-hostname
Thanks!

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!
