How does buffered logging affect?

Question

ubuntu

Here is the configuration:
log_format compression '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" "$gzip_ratio"';
access_log /spool/logs/nginx-access.log compression gzip buffer=32k;
Should I use buffered logging with compression, or will it greatly affect performance? What is the best buffer size?

Answer 1

It is worth it if there is not enough space, the buffer size is better for performance.
