Nginx – GoAccess date/time/log format error

goaccessnginx

When running GoAccess with my Nginx log file I'm getting this error:

Fatal error has occurred
Error occured at: src/goaccess.c - main - 1017
Nothing valid to process. Verify your date/time/log format.

Log lines example:

~/.goaccessrc:

time-format %H:%M:%S
date-format %d/%b/%Y
log-format %^ %h - - [%d] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u"

executing like this:

goaccess -f /example.com_access.log -p ~/.goaccessrc

Please try this in your Goaccess configuration file, it works on my end:

 log-format %v %h %^[%d:%t %^] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u"
 date-format %d/%b/%Y
 time-format %H:%M:%S
