How can I set up a custom log format in Nginx?

To set up a custom log format in Nginx, you can use the 'log_format' directive in your configuration file.

What syntax should I use for the log_format directive?

The syntax is: log_format <name> '<format>'; where <name> is a custom name for your log format and <format> is the log format string.

Can you give me an example of a custom log format?

Sure! An example would be: log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

Where do I place this directive in the Nginx configuration?

You should place the 'log_format' directive in the http block of your Nginx configuration file, usually located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
