What would you recommend for buffer size for buffered logging?

Question

Nginx

Highly loaded server, 32 GB memory
og_format compression '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" "$gzip_ratio"';
access_log /var/log/nginx-access.log compression gzip buffer=????

Answer 1

It depends on the speed of filling the log. If at maximum load you have 100 kilobytes of logs per second, then set 100-300.
