Be really nice to have 😉

okay so far so good, but I suspect this might operate currently by changing core nginx functionality as I'm not getting a module (happy to have my technique corrected)

sudo mkdir -p /opt
sudo chmod 777 /opt
git clone https://github.com/jiaz/nginx-http-json-log
sudo apt install libjansson-dev build-essentials
apt-get source nginx-full
cd /opt/nginx-1.*
./configure --add-dynamic-module=/opt/nginx-http-json-log/ --without-http_rewrite_module --without-http_gzip_module
make modules

I'm expecting to find a .so file inside /opt/nginx-1.*/

I'll try to dig in at some point, hopefully if someone else see's this and can help before me it helps everyone interested so 👍 if that's anyone reading

right just to save everyone time. Nginx for ubuntu xenial uses fPIE which makes shared modules for nginx impossible to compile... you have to custom compile which is terrible, I'll check it out when I have more time. For now https://github.com/CODESIGN2/nginx-http-json-log/tree/compile-as-module has work to date (the module compiles but won't run because of different build-flags 😢 )

For others coming here, check out the fork https://github.com/nginx-modules/ngx_http_json_log_module , which seem to have implemented this feature.
