http-syslog-transformer
This is a tiny service that accepts UDP packets from the Nginx syslog logger, parses their data using the default Nginx "combined" format, and forwards the data as structured JSON to a VictoriaLogs instance's stream API.
The resulting logs have all the usual benefits of structured logging, like ease of querying and fidelity of query results.
For debugging, this command will send a UDP packet in the expected format to an instance of the service running locally:
