Version 1.6.3 introduces "Token for specifier is NULL" error

[Proper-Job]

When I use v1.6.2 this config is able to parse these logs:

Config

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

Logs

336 10.5.176.14 - - [16/Sep/2024:00:01:01 +0200] "GET /?site=pim HTTP/1.1" 200 8803 "-" "curl/8.0.1" "10.1.232.31" "example.com"

Starting on version 1.6.3 (all the way up to 1.9.3) parsing fails with the same config on the same logs with this error message:

goaccess access_log -o report.html

There have been some updates to the XFF fields and their parsing. You can find more details in the release notes here: https://goaccess.io/release-notes#release-1.6.3. Be sure to check the man page for examples. Depending how your IPs are delimited, you could use for instance,

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