Log format won't update after changing ConfigMap

[vitorfhc]

I found this example, which I used to change the log formatting of my controller. After patching the configuration map, Kubernetes notified the pod of the changes.

Event(v1.ObjectReference{Kind:"ConfigMap", Namespace:"nginx", Name:"ingress-nginx...

But these changes didn't affect the logging. I am still getting the old log format. I restarted the pod, and it didn't work also.

Is there any other step I need to follow?

@vitorfhc Hello.
You should be able to extend the logging of NGINX Ingress by just adding NGINX variables to the configMap. NGINX Ingress controller will automatically pick up the values that you want to add to your logging for you.

Could you paste your configMap and the output of nginx -T ?
We might to get more information, but this should get things started.

Thanks for the help, but I just figured it out and added the answer to this post.

Well, it was no more than just a stupid mistake.

Instead of doing log-format: in the ConfigMap, I did log-format-upstream:, and it worked.

@vitorfhc Perfect. Glad you are good to go. Sometimes, it is the little things. :)
