ssh remote command with wildcard

Question

My goal is to get all IP addresses logging into my web server, by checking access log files:

$ ls -la /var/log/nginx/access.log*
/var/log/nginx/access.log
/var/log/nginx/access.log1
/var/log/nginx/access.log2
...
...

Running the command above locally works:

$ sudo grep loging /var/log/nginx/access.log*

But when I'm trying to run from a remote host

$ ssh remote-server 'sudo grep login /var/log/nginx/access.log*'

It returns:

grep: /var/log/nginx/access.log*: No scuh file or directory

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

One possibility I have found is calling command through bash as an example:

ssh user@host '/bin/bash -c "grep /etc/*"' 

Actually, it is not a ssh issue, the problem is with sudo which takes argument literally, check here.
