I have a small VPS with only 1GB memory. I don't want to install Elasticsearch as it will eat my RAM. I can install Naxsi with my NGINX stack and set it to learning mode. Once it has generated enough log, can I copy the log to another temporary higher memory VPS where I will install Elasticsearch and nxtool and generate the whitelist rules from there then copy it back to my server?

yes ofc the tools coming with naxsi can work from flat logfiles as well :)

Ah so that's what flat files meant. Thanks this is great!
