Proper LogFormat setting for AWstats for the default nginx log output?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

I have several days worth of Nginx logs that I need to run through
AWstats.

I tried leaving LogFormat=1 in the awstats config (which is correct for
the
default apache logs) but that doesn’t work.

I search on the 'web but all the solutions I found require changing the
nginx
log_format directive first (too late now).

Does anyone know the correct AWStats LogFormat settings to process a log
produced by the default nginx config?

Thanks,

JW

If your logs are the same as mine then the problem is a double space
that nginx leaves in each log entry between the status code and the
bytes sent. I tried various ways of specifying the double space but
without success - it seems they collapse spaces in the logformat
settings line but not in the file itself - so I gave up and now just
run:

perl -pi -e ‘s/ / /g’ ./nginx.access.log

before an awstats run. With that, I can just use this configuration
line:

LogFormat="%host %other %logname %time1 %methodurl %code %bytesd
%refererquot %uaquot %otherquot"

Which is the default with an added %otherquot for the final
http_x_forwarded_for that nginx adds by default.

I guess by specifying the log format in nginx I could eliminate the
problem, but like you I always come to it with a load of existing
logfiles to process.

best,
