Nginx + limit_req: how to log dropped requests?

Question

linux

The limit_req_zone zone is configured $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=12r/s;
This zone is registered in all site locations.

The benchmark shows that the zone is working:

ab -n 100 -c 1 https://my_site.ru/*
Benchmarking my_site.ru (be patient)...apr_pollset_poll: The timeout specified has expired (70007)
Total of 12 requests completed

But I need messages about "dropped" requests to get into the error log. I tried to write limit_req_log_level error; - did not help. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In general, everything works, I'm a fool myself: I had to put MANY requests in parallel:
ab -n 100 -c 20 https://my_site.ru/*
Then everything is logged in error.
