How to actually turn off nginx logs entirely

If you’re using statements in your nginx config such as

nginx_conf_example.conf
access_log off;
error_log off;

this will not actually turn off the logging. it will just write the logs to /usr/share/nginx/off.

In order to actually turn off logging, use

nginx_conf_devnull.conf
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;
