Nginx creating a huge "off" file

Server NGINX
1

Hey guys,

I couldn’t find much about this in the docs or Google, could just be due
to its name… anyways, in the root nginx dir, nginx creates this “off”
file. It slowly gets huge and ended up eating all the disk space on my
drive.

  1. Is there any documentation as to what this file is?
  2. Can I control how big it gets?
  3. What’s it for?

Thanks!

What is the content of that file? I think you might set some logfile to off
which makes file off.

Guess you wrote something like

error_log off;

assuming it would switch off error_log. Obviously this assumption
is wrong.
