Only log rate limit violations in nginx

Question

Before enforcing per IP rate limits I wonder if there is a mode to only log violations without actually blocking clients. Therefore I could easilly check after some time that those parameters were correct. Is such a thing possible?

No, but you can use undocumented post_action option to mirror traffic to other nginx instance with rate limiting, and check it's logs.

Or you can lust analyze logs from your server.
