udplogger and nginx

[Xavier Beaudouin]

Hello there,

I am trying to use udplogger module to push httplogs into distant 
server, the https://github.com/vkholodkov/nginx-udplog-module module 
version.

Problem I have is that I cannot find "real life" example on how to use 
this module, also how to make it send syslog stuff into my distant 
syslog system.

The 1.0.0 plain module seems to segfault (mostly because it seems to 
try to send data to the distant syslog system, but since it is not yet 
correctly configured, I don't have any clue about that).

I may miss something, since the readme of this module is quite small...

According to 
https://github.com/vkholodkov/nginx-udplog-module/blob/master/ngx_http_udplog_module.c

I have 3 configuration directives :



     { ngx_string("access_udplog"),
       
NGX_HTTP_MAIN_CONF|NGX_HTTP_SRV_CONF|NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF|NGX_HTTP_LIF_CONF
                         |NGX_HTTP_LMT_CONF|NGX_CONF_TAKE1234,
       ngx_http_udplog_set_log,
       NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF_OFFSET,
       0,
       NULL },

     { ngx_string("udplog_priority"),
       
NGX_HTTP_MAIN_CONF|NGX_HTTP_SRV_CONF|NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF|NGX_CONF_TAKE12,
       ngx_http_udplog_set_priority,
       NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF_OFFSET,
       0,
       NULL },

     { ngx_string("udplog_tag"),
       
NGX_HTTP_MAIN_CONF|NGX_HTTP_SRV_CONF|NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF|NGX_CONF_TAKE1,
       ngx_http_udplog_set_tag,
       NGX_HTTP_LOC_CONF_OFFSET,
       offsetof(ngx_http_udplog_conf_t, tag),
       NULL },


I have specified them into my nginx.conf but doesn't help.

Seems that :

  if(ulcf->off) {
         return NGX_OK;
     }

the "off" variable is always to off so the module is not active.

Now I don't know how to make this ulcf->off to 0 instead of 1, since 
nginx.conf look like what this modules needs to make it work.

Any hints or help ?

For information, my nginx.conf :

user  nobody;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;
#error_log  logs/error.log  debug;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;
