How get logs for direct requests for jpg images in NGINX?

Question

I want direct requests for jpg images files to be logged in access.log. For example, someone directly accesses the image saved in my wordpress:

https://www. my domain /wp-content/uploads/2021/07/image.jpg

How can I see it in the log record? I have removed access_log off and it stays like this. However, direct request logs to jpg files are not collected.

location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
    expires    +60d;
}

Answer 1

Use access_log within the location block:

location ~ \.jpg$ {
  access_log /var/log/nginx/...;
}
