Logfile formatting

[Callum Scott]

I'm currently looking at swapping out some of our Apache web servers for
Nginx to act as a reverse proxy.

One of my issues is that I need, at least in the short term, for the log
format to remain the same.

I have two issues that are cropping up.

The first is that with my current configuration I am getting the following
error if I try to start nginx:

nginx: [emerg] unknown "bytes_received" variable

I am using the latest version avialble in the nginx repo:

# nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.14.0
built by gcc 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18) (GCC)
built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx
--modules-path=/usr/lib64/nginx/modules --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid
--lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp --user=nginx --group=nginx
--with-compat --with-file-aio --with-threads --with-http_addition_module
--with-http_auth_request_module --with-http_dav_module
--with-http_flv_module --with-http_gunzip_module
--with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_mp4_module
--with-http_random_index_module --with-http_realip_module
--with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_slice_module
--with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module
--with-http_sub_module --with-http_v2_module --with-mail
--with-mail_ssl_module --with-stream --with-stream_realip_module
--with-stream_ssl_module --with-stream_ssl_preread_module
--with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fPIC'
--with-ld-opt='-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -pie'

Secondaly i am unable to find an equivelent for the:

%f, %R or %l apache logs

This is the log file I am trying to replicate:
LogFormat
"%v,%V,%h,%l,%u,%t,\"%m\",\"%U\",\"%q\",\"%H\",\"%{UNIQUE_ID}e\",%>s,\"%{Referer}i\",\"%{User-Agent}i\",\"%{SSL_PROTOCOL}x\",\"%{SSL_CIPHER}x\",%p,%D,%I,%O,%B,\"%R\",\"%f\""
vhostcombined

and what I have so far:

    log_format  proxylog
'$server_name,$hostname,$remote_addr,-,$remote_user,[$time_local],'
                         '"$request_method","$request_uri","$query_string",'

'"$server_protocol","$request_id","$status","$http_referer,"'

'"$http_user_agent","$ssl_protocol","$ssl_cipher",$server_port,'

'$request_time,$bytes_received,$bytes_sent,"proxy-server"';

Any pointers for the above issues would be gratefully received.
