Disable access logs

Request

Hey! Still using your docker-compose file. Love it! I have one question though: I see a lot of access logs. Is it somehow possible to disable them?

dsmr-app      | 127.0.0.1 - - [07/Dec/2022:21:36:14 +0100] "GET /about HTTP/1.1" 200 13006 "-" "curl/7.83.1" "-"
dsmr-app      | 127.0.0.1 - - [07/Dec/2022:21:36:29 +0100] "GET /about HTTP/1.1" 200 13006 "-" "curl/7.83.1" "-"
dsmr-app      | 127.0.0.1 - - [07/Dec/2022:21:36:44 +0100] "GET /about HTTP/1.1" 200 13006 "-" "curl/7.83.1" "-"

I guess they come from this, right? Simply disabling the healthchecks would fix them.

But what about the "normal" access logs? I'm not interested in them, since I get access logs from my reverse proxy. Is it possible to disable access logs in general?

Hi Rogier, good to hear you're still enjoying DSMR Reader in Docker!

It's possible to disable the healthcheck via the docker-compose file:

healthcheck:
  disable: true

Disabling the nginx access.log isn't possible currently, but maybe I`ll add it in a future release. Ofcourse it's always possible to map a nginx config file to the Docker container that contains settings according your wishes :).

Hey @xirixiz , not sure if you accept merge requests. But here you have one: https://github.com/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker/pull/305

[xirixiz]

Ofcourse I do! I like contributions/PR's! Thanks!

Will take a look at it later Today.

[xirixiz]

Released!

[rogierlommers]

Released!

I see, thanks!

hmz.. it doesn't seem to work though:

root@dsmr_reader_docker:/app# cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/dsmr-webinterface.conf
upstream dsmr-webinterface {
    server unix:///tmp/gunicorn--dsmr_webinterface.socket fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
    listen      80;
    server_name _;  # No hostname available? Just use the default underscore here for wildcard matching.

    # Uncomment these lines below to force additional authentication on application access.
    # NOTE: Alter the IP-range '192.168.1.0/24' if you are using a different one (i.e.: 10.0.x.x)!
    # WARNING: Do not forget to generate a password first in '/etc/nginx/htpasswd' and then RELOAD nginx (TEST IT)!
##    satisfy    any;
##    allow      192.168.1.0/24;
##    deny       all;
##    auth_basic "Restricted application";
##    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;

    location /static {
        alias /var/www/dsmrreader/static;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://dsmr-webinterface;
    }
}

I would expect a line that says: access_log off

Can I somehow validate that this function has been executed?

[xirixiz]

The function hasn't been executed :). The function you created doesn't work unfortunatly.

-z should be -n .... fixing it now.

[xirixiz]

If you run docker logs -f dsmr you should see an echo passing by "Disabling NGINX access logs...".

[xirixiz]

New release ready. Seems to work.

[ INFO ] Disabling NGINX access logs...

[rogierlommers]

yup, just re-deployed and indeed it works. Thanks!
