Prevent Nginx from logging random IPs

Posted on May 31, 2020

I installed Nginx on Ubuntu and I only have 2 html files. When I check Nginx logs there are tons of random IP addresses sending GET and POST requests. I get IPs with no information just “batman” and random websites. How do I filter Nginx logs to only show me requests that access the html files I host on Nginx?
