Hello,
i'm playing around with nginx and rsyslog. My desired solution would be to
get nginx log all access logs directly in rsyslog (on the same server).
When i got this running i want to make rsyslog write into kafka.

But because i'm not so much familiar with admin services and i spend now
half a day trying to get nginx to write to rsyslog with no success i would
really appreciate some help.
On my ubuntu server i run nginx 1.10.1 with rsyslogd 8.19.0. 
Taken from
[url:2iaojsis]http://nginx.org/en/docs/syslog.html[/url:2iaojsis]
i configured nginx like this:
[code:2iaojsis]
server{
        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/conf/url_bundle.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/conf/url.key;
        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
        ssl_ciphers
ALL:!DH:!EXPORT:!RC4:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!aNULL:!eNULL;
        server_name someurl.com;
        add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
        listen   443 ssl;
        access_log
syslog:server=unix:/var/log/nginx.sock,facility=local7,tag=nginx,severity=info
combined;
        location = /crossdomain.xml {
                root /var/www/crossdomain/;
            }
        location / {
                try_files $uri /index.html;
                add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
                root /usr/share/nginx/html;
                index index.html index.htm;
                }
}
[/code:2iaojsis]

My rsyslog.conf looks like this. Because i read that data loss with tcp is
lower i wanted to use tcp.

But all i can see in syslog.log is other stuff than my nginx stuff. No
errors at all...

Do you have an idea what i did wrong?
Thanks
