One reason I do not like Nginx that much

# From serverfault - question about more precise timestamps in logs like milliseconds # The only answer below

There are 2 ways to achieve this. The first one is dirty and I wont recommend it - it's the fastest way though:

if ($msec ~ "(.)\.(.)") { set $epoch_millis = "$1$2" }

This is much cleaner but requires lua:

set_by_lua_block $epoch_millis { return string.gsub(ngx.var.msec, "%.", "") }

then just log $epoch_millis

P.S. I am (the poster) from Russia but I regret editing Nginx configs almost every day...
