You may be happier moving the log files to time-named versions and then signalling nginx to re-open the log files, every hour. http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html > The 'if' statement is not allowed outside the server{} - I am at a loss due > to this. if() doesn't work for you inside location{}, and it is not allowed outside server{}. What happens if you put it inside server{} but outside location{}? > Please con you show me some examples of how to set these variables > with a map regex? Untested, but given that you already have if ($time_iso8601 ~ "^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})") { set $year $1; set $month $2; set $day $3; } then I would expect that something like map $time_iso8601 $year { "~^(?P<one>\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})" $one; } would do the right thing. > I can have 4 seoerate maps to get it done - doesn't matter. If you want to use map for this, then you would need multiple ones. But I suspect that variable-in-log-file-name is not what you want.
