How to disable access.log?

[deefha]

Is it possible to disable Nginx acces.log in Kong 0.10.0?

There is no such option in default kong.conf, although in auto-generated .kong_env file is nginx_acc_logs parameter set to /usr/local/kong/logs/access.log. From where comes this value? Adding nginx_acc_logs = off or nginx_acc_logs = /dev/null into kong.conf and restarting Kong has no effect.

AFAIK you need to use a custom nginx template to do this.

IMHO a little bit overkill just for disabling an access log. Parameter would come in handy... Nevertheless I tested custom Nginx template and it worked obviously well. Thank you.

I agree, I use a custom nginx template just to handle nginx logs the way I want too.

Correct, currently the way to handle this is through a custom template. As we discuss changes to distributing and configuring Kong moving forward (see #2355), this may change, but for now this is the appropriate way.

Update: with commit 23585aa and Kong version 1.3.0 (OpenResty version 1.15.8.1) access logs may be disabled with KONG_PROXY_ACCESS_LOG=off
