How to log to access log using Lua

Hello agnetzh

I went through the documentation at http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule but could not find any way to log to the access log from Lua. Its puzzling since there is a lot more complex functionality being provided by Lua. Can you please advise?

Thanks

Only the standard ngx_http_log_module can log to the access log file
because it is managed exclusively by this module. See

    http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html

If you just want to log your own access info to some external socket
services (like syslog), then you may find the lua-resty-logger-socket
library useful:
