Hi @dastrix80 - I had similar problem and here is my solution to watch error & access log via nginx.

1. this is nginx configuration

nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)

`
#error log
location = /frontaile {
return 301 /frontaile/;
}

	location ~ /frontaile/(?<ndpath>.*) {

	access_log off; # that is important otherwise too many sockets in your log

	proxy_redirect off;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;

	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_http_version 1.1;
	proxy_pass_request_headers on;
	proxy_set_header Connection "keep-alive";
	proxy_store off;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:28404/frontaile/$ndpath$is_args$args;

	gzip on;
	gzip_proxied any;
	gzip_types *;
	}

	#access log
	location = /frontaila {
	return 301 /frontaila/;
	}


	location ~ /frontaila/(?<ndpath>.*) {

	access_log off;

	proxy_redirect off;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;

	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_http_version 1.1;
	proxy_pass_request_headers on;
	proxy_set_header Connection "keep-alive";
	proxy_store off;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:28200/frontaila/$ndpath$is_args$args;

	gzip on;
	gzip_proxied any;
	gzip_types *;
	}

`
2. I have 2 shell scripts:

For error log
~/frontaile.sh

`
#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/frontail --disable-usage-stats -U [NAME] -P [PASSWORD] -p 28404 --url-path /frontaile /var/log/nginx/error.log
`

For access log
~/frontaila.sh

`
#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/frontail --disable-usage-stats -U [NAME] -P [PASSWORD] -p 28200 --url-path /frontaila /var/log/nginx/error.log
`
3. Fles executable
chmod +x frontaile.sh
chmod +x frontaila.sh

4. Run files via pm2

pm2 start ~/frontaile.sh
pm2 start ~/frontaila.sh

5. Restart nxinx and watch logs in browser
