NGINX set variable not working

Open Lalith-0110 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I have already set the variable start_time in my nginx config but somehow that variable is not getting picked up in access_log. We have so many variables set the same way and everything else works.

set $start_time ' ';
