Real time stopped working

@chrisloftus, at the moment, you must preprocess the log using tools such as sed/awk/grep, etc. Refer to the man page for specific examples. Meanwhile, I'm actively addressing issue #117, so stay tuned — It's progressing well.

If you want the tail command to keep up with changes in the file, try using tail -F instead of tail -f. Also note the additional - in goaccess.

tail -F /var/log/nginx/access.log | goaccess - -o /home/admin/<domain>/public/access-log.html --log-format=COMBINED --real-time-html --ws-url=www.<domain>:443/websocket/ --geoip-database=/usr/local/etc/goaccess/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

Or, if you want to keep it super easy, just let goaccess handle it like this:

goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log -o /home/admin/<domain>/public/access-log.html --log-format=COMBINED --real-time-html --ws-url=www.<domain>:443/websocket/ --geoip-database=/usr/local/etc/goaccess/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

@allinurl Thanks, will try that. The second option won't include the access.log.1 file though will it? That's why I'm having to do it with tail.

Good question! The second choice will maintain the counters no matter how many times the log rotates. It should work just like tail -F.

@allinurl Thanks, will give it a try when the current tail stops updating.

Seems to have fixed it so far. @allinurl Is it possible to filter the stats to a specific day?
