I am running nginx 1.15.6 and I am trying to include the current date in the nginx log file name.
Some thing like this: access_log /var/log/nginx/access.2018.11.07.log main;
Anyone know how to do this?

This is what I ended up using and it works perfectly:
map $time_iso8601 $year {
default '0000';
"~^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})" $1;
}
map $time_iso8601 $month {
default '00';
"~^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})" $2;
}
map $time_iso8601 $day {
default '00';
"~^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})" $3;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.$year-$month-$day.log apm_json;
server {
if ($time_iso8601 ~ "^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})") {
set $year $1;
set $month $2;
set $day $3;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/$year-$month-$day-access.log;
IF is Evil, in Nginx configurations. A detailed description as to why can be found at Nginx: If is Evil.
A better solution would be to use a map for logging dates.
Example below.
map $time_iso8601 $year {
default 'date';
'~^(?<yyyy>\d{4})-' $yyyy;
}
map $time_iso8601 $month {
default 'not';
'~^\d{4}-(?<mm>\d{2})-' $mm;
}
map $time_iso8601 $day {
default 'found';
'~^\d{4}-\d{2}-(?<dd>\d{2})' $dd;
}
map $time_iso8601 $logfile_date {
default 'date-not-found';
'~^(?<year>\d{4})-(?<month>\d{2})-(?<day>\d{2})' $year-$month-$day;
}
access_log c:/tools/nginx/logs/$logfile_date.access.log;
