Piping in 0.8 not working?

[LeeNX]

Seems that 0.8 piping might be broken or I am doing something wrong ...

If I do:
cat d7_live-access.log | goaccess -p ~/.goaccessrc
I get the help screen?

if I do:
goaccess -p ~/.goaccessrc -f d7_live-access.log
I get the awesome goaccess reporting screen!

Looking to process the *.gz files using zcat, but that was not working either.

On 0.8 the way the config file is read changed, however, it should still be able to parse your previous config file. By default GoAccess will try to read a global config file, usually under /usr/etc/, otherwise it will look under ~/.goaccessrc.

Could you please post your goaccessrc file?

cat ~/.goaccessrc

color_scheme 1
date_format %d/%b/%Y
# ServerFQDN ClientIP RemoteLogName RemoteUserName TimeRequestRecieved FirstLineOfRequest FinalStatus SizeOfResponceBytes Referer UserAgent TimeTaken2ServeRequest_ms
log_format %^ %h %^ %^[%d:%^] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u" %D
log_file STDIN

goaccess is not using my ~/.goaccessrc file as the config file, that is why I am doing -p ~/.goaccessrc, but the problem I am referring to here is that I can't pipe a log file to goaccess as I have been able to in the past.

By default it tries to read a global config file /usr/etc/goaccess.conf, you can use --no-global-config to ignore reading this file and instead it will read ~/.goaccessrc.

The pipe should work if you remove the log_file STDIN line from your ~/.goaccessrc.

cat log | goaccess --no-global-config

You are spot on!! Thanks, removing '''log_file STDIN''' from my ~/.goaccessrc worked.

Maybe adding https://github.com/allinurl/goaccess/blob/master/config/goaccess.conf to /etc/ in the DEB packages would help.

Making a short version of --no-global-config like -ngc or something would be easier too, I am damed lazy bugger. 😃

I believe this issue is closed?

Thanks for the quick response and support.

I can certainly add a shortcut for --no-global-config. I'll update the deb packages to use /etc by default. Thanks for pointing this out.
