Question Access log off for nginx logs

[Heppi75]

Server operating system version

Debian 11

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.62 Update #2

Hi,

I was debugging nginx requests and noticed, that I don't see any access logs from nginx in the domain log folder. After searching for the issue I found out, that the nginx config files, generated by plesk, have access_log off; set in the config?

Is this really useful? Is there a way to change this global that to file pointer to proxy_access_ssl_log and proxy_error_log for all domains are set in the nginx config file.
I actually think this is absolutely necessary for debugging actions. Why was it implemented like that?

Thanks for any comments on this ...

This is the section I am talking ... - in this case the request is forwarded to apache, because nginx is used as proxy, but if there is an error with nginx, apache will not receive the request and I don't see anything, because of this access_log off; ...

location / {
                proxy_pass https://myip:7081;
                proxy_hide_header upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Host             $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Accel-Internal /internal-nginx-static-location;
                access_log off;

        }
