How write at access log only part of $request?

Server NGINX
1

Hi All,

I have next question:
is it possible at nginx access log file decrease stored $request to
smaller
size?

We have very big traffic, and $request part is significant for us only
at
some start substring of $request value.

Is it possible write at log for example some kind of SubString(
$request, 0,
someLengthFromStart ) instead of full $request length ?

Thanks

For example, you can do something like this using map:

map $request $request_truncated {
“~(?.{0,100})” $tmp;
}

See log_format directive description for details on how to
configure custom access logging formats.
