GoAccess processes only the last 12 months #1632

I've been using GoAccess 1.2 for a long time. My server logs are going back to September 2018. GoAccess 1.2 was processing/displaying all the entries. Today, I've updated to the latest development version from GitHub and now I can only see the results for the last 12 months. Was this change indended? Is there an option to turn it off? I couldn't find it anywhere.

There hasn't been a change on that. Can you please confirm that using something like --max-items=1095 works as you expected? Thanks.

Thank you very much, --max-items was the option I was looking for. From the documentation:

The maximum number of items to display per panel. The maximum can be a number between 1 and n. Note: Only the CSV and JSON output allow a maximum number greater than the default value of 366 (or 50 in the real-time HTML output) items per panel.

I wasn't using this option in version 1.2 (it was commented out in my goaccess.conf) and yet I could see more than the default 366 days. Interestingly, I am using the HTML output (no real-time), and yet it's working (I can now see more than 366 days in the generated HTML file again) despite the documentation stating otherwise. Is the documentation wrong?

Thanks again, this issue can be closed.

Good question. The docs are still relevant for 1.3. The --max-items change allowing more than 365 items is a recent change upstream. Docs will be updated in the upcoming release.
