access_log   /path/to/access.log  combined  if=$loggable;

“A request will not be logged if the (IF) condition evaluates to "0" or an
empty string”

Two simple ‘maps’ which are then combined tested in the third ‘map’ which is
used in the 
IF evaluation of the log directive.

Tweak, change, add your own stuff with $request
