The "Unique Visitors Per Day" pane always showing a single dot

[Zabrane]

Hi @allinurl

I'm struggling with the first pane always showing a single dot (see below image).

I'm running GoAccess on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

# goaccess --version
GoAccess - 1.9.2.
For more details visit: https://goaccess.io/

Build configure arguments:
  --enable-utf8
  --enable-geoip=mmdb

GoAccess log format is:

--log-format='%V %h %^[%d:%t %^] \"%r\" %s %b \"%R\" \"%u\"' --date-format="%d/%b/%Y" --time-format="%T"

Apache log format is:

LogFormat "%V %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" proxy

Here is a sample from Apache log:

What's wrong? Help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@allinurl I also noticed two things in my Unique Visitors Per Day:

1. I've less entries in the Panel Options menu than your demo:

2. Only the data is shown without the time (HH:MM:SS)

[allinurl]

The one dot in the graph is that you only have one day's worth of data. If you want to add more specificity, please pass --date-spec=min. e.g.,

# goaccess access.log --log-format=COMBINED -o report.html --date-spec=min

[Zabrane]

@allinurl wow ... it worked, thanks.

But how about the second remark. Why do I've less entries in the Panel Options menu?

[allinurl]

There's no seconds specificity. I'm not sure if it's worth adding; it will change quite quickly. As for columns, are you logging the time served? What server are you running?

[Zabrane]

goaccess access.log --log-format=COMBINED -o report.html --date-spec=min

Why COMBINED and not VCOMBINED?

[Zabrane]

[...] As for columns, are you logging the time served? What server are you running?

Not sure if I fully understand the question.

Should I change Apache logging format to this?

LogFormat "%V %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" **%T/%D**" proxy

Is this what you're referring to? If yes, what change should i make to the GoAccess log format?

[allinurl]

Please post a few lines from your access log so I can take a look

[Zabrane]

@allinurl Sure. I did post them on my first post above. Here you are:

[allinurl]

It looks like it doesn't align with the **%T/%D**. You might want to restart apache. Once you've done that, you can proceed with:

# goaccess access.log --log-format='%v %h %^[%d:%t %^] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u" %^/%D' --date-format=%d/%b/%Y --time-format=%T

[Zabrane]

@allinurl one more question if you don't mind. Why I can't see these two panels with my current config even if i'm explicitely specifying them with --enable-panel :

        --enable-panel=MIME_TYPE \
        --enable-panel=VIRTUAL_HOSTS

[allinurl]

Assuming you've got the right format, it should work. Please post your config file and the full command you are using.

[Zabrane]

@allinurl I don't use a config file (--no-global-config). This is my full command line:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release:    22.04
Codename:   jammy

$  goaccess --version

$ goaccess -a -q \
        --no-global-config \
        --log-format='%v %h %^[%d:%t %^] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u" %^/%D' \
        --date-format="%d/%b/%Y" \
        --time-format="%T" \
        --enable-panel=REFERRERS \
        --enable-panel=KEYPHRASES \
        --enable-panel=MIME_TYPE \
        --enable-panel=VIRTUAL_HOSTS \
        --date-spec=min \
        --output=/tmp/goaccess.html \
        /var/lib/apache2.4/log/access.html

1. Am i missing something here?
2. Is a config file mandatory?

[allinurl]

The log you posted is missing MIME_TYPEs, but everything else should work. Run goaccess as shown below and see the results:

# goaccess /var/lib/apache2.4/log/access.html -a --log-format='%v %h %^[%d:%t %^] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u" %^/%D' --date-format=%d/%b/%Y --time-format=%T -o /tmp/goaccess.html

Also, make sure the panels are enabled in the HTML navigation bar on the left. Click the little circle next to each panel name to toggle them on/off.

@allinurl

I've tried GoAccess - 1.9.2 on macOS but i can't see the MIME_TYPE panels.

The log you posted is missing MIME_TYPEs, but everything else should work. Run goaccess as shown below and see the results:

I've changed my Apache log format to include this one %{Content-Type}o :

LogFormat "%V %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" \"%{Content-Type}o\" **%T/%D**" proxy

And it works. I can see the MIME_TYPE in the logs :-)

www.foxxyme.com 90.45.192.246 - - [01/Jun/2024:12:33:13 +0200] "GET /the-premium-solution-psn-cartouche-compatible-laser-pro-noir-canon-045h-1246c002-l1-ct045hb-pro_SKU440207.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.5 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" "application/json" **0/51352**

But what I need to change to GoAccess --log-format= to be able to read the MIME_TYPE and display it in the associated pane (which I still can't see) ?

Help appreciated.

[Zabrane]

@allinurl found it:

 %M The MIME-type of the requested resource. (In Apache LogFormat: %{Content-Type}o) 

It's working. Thanks a lot for these GREAT software and your support.

[allinurl]

Great to hear it worked and you found it helpful! If you have any more questions, just let me know.
