I am looking for a way to quickly debug whether a given nginx conf file actually gets included directly or indirectly from main nginx.conf. Does nginx keep track of what config files it processes?



Solution may require openresty/lua and must not require Nginx+.



An ideal solution would add X-Config-Read header(s) to every response, and would only need to be set up in one place, without having to modify all server blocks, let alone all location blocks.

    The nginx -T (uppercase T) command will show you the entire configuration that Nginx will read the next time it's restarted.

  • @RichardSmith I had a similar thought and checked the command options (finding the same feature which is about all that's available). Config is read on startup and I doubt the source file information is stored. If the issue is purely to debug if a given file is being used, you should be able to identify this on Nginx startup. A simple option would be to add a config setting to the file you're testing (something benign that doesn't need to be inside a block), then grep nginx -T for that setting. Could be scripted fairly easily.

nginx -T will show your configuration as it is read and parsed, including each time a configuration file is included. The pathname of the file will be shown. If a file is included multiple times, it will be shown again, every time it is included.



Note that old versions of nginx do not have this feature; it was introduced in 1.9.2.
