access_logging in the stream block (no replies)

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows if access_logs are able to be configured in the stream block. We are looking to implement TCP stream which works but also have the requirement of logging the connections, transactions, etc. I know error_log can be enabled but I have found no documentation stating access_log will work.

We have confirmed connections via nginx will work and can connect to the backend service but no actions are logged.


Sample config:

stream {
server {
listen 12345;
proxy_pass servername:12345;

}
}

I have tried adding access_log but only get the error:
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] "access_log" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:22

I also tried adding a log_format section in the event that was required. Any advice/suggestions welcome.
