Additional Information

NGINX will need configuration for a specific log format. This is normally done in the nginx.conf file. Documentation for the ngx_http_log_module can be found at http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log armor_202004;
Note

Configure Access Log Directive will create a filename that is then used with the command:
