Can I show the port # in the access/error logs with NGINX ? I can run nginx-debug if that helps.
Debian 11, free NGINX 1.22 downloaded release (not built from source)

- Please define "request port number".Tero Kilkanen– Tero Kilkanen2022-09-13 19:07:03 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2022 at 19:07
- When a request comes to the machine, it comes on a protocol and port number. e.g. a GET request comes on port 80 or 443.gwhiz– gwhiz2022-09-13 19:50:44 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2022 at 19:50

nginx variables documentation on variables shows that $server_port variable contains the server side port for the request.
nginx log module documentation documents log_format and access_log directives.
The default log format is:
log_format combined '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] ' '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"'; One can add the port to the end for example for another log format:
log_format combinedwithport '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] ' '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"' $server_port; To actually use this format for logs, one needs to define:
access_log /path/to/log/file combinedwithport; It is recommended to add the port to the end of log line so that possible combined log format parsers can still process the log.
- Thank you Tero, very complete and easy to follow. I wound up using both $server_port and $remote_port in the log.gwhiz– gwhiz2022-09-13 22:27:15 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2022 at 22:27
