I am running Gitlab Omnibus on a dedicated server with Pages activated on mydomain.org and several Jekyll Pages on lotsofsubdomains.mydomain.org. I would like to use Piwik’s log analytics to monitor usage of those pages.
Unfortunately I found that requests to all those pages are being logged in a single logfile at /var/log/gitlab/nginx/gitlab_pages_access.log due to this setting in gitlab.rb:
pages_nginx['log_directory'] = "/var/log/gitlab/nginx/"
I have tried to set it to
pages_nginx['log_directory'] = "/var/log/gitlab/nginx/#{node['fqdn']}/"
but that caused nginx and mattermost to stay down after gitlab-ctl reconfigure.
So I am wondering how I can have individual logfiles for all my subdomains so that I can track them in Piwik separately. Any ideas?
