I didn't notice this useful addition when 1.10 was released in february:
> Added the ability to prepend the virtual host to a request via `--concat-vhost-req`
Need a goaccess logs query to see what's going on with my #faircamp site.
Goaccess working and producing good output to the Terminal based dashboard.
Nginx logs in default format, so 'combined' query.
I want it to "Show me everything from as far back as you've got to date for my domain faircamp.nigelharpur.co.uk please"
It would be 'nice' to have it output as terminal dashboard and HTML please clever peeps, but maybe 2 separate queries if not combined, no worries.
More text, this time about setting up one of the simplest and lightest website analytics I know: GoAccess

Okay, it took me some time to wrap my head around the config.
I am using the latest GoAccess version and Caddy 2.6.2. If you're interested in my config file for GoAccess, just tell me and I'll send you a link to a copy of it in my cloud :)
The process is basically:
1. Install GoAccess
2. Adjust GoAccess settings
3. Remove old logfiles (because they most likely have the wrong format)
4. Adjust Caddy settings
5. Add GoAccess Webpage to Caddy
6. Run GoAccess
7. View in Browser

GoAccess is an open source real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser. It provides fast and valuable HTTP statistics for system administrators that require a visual server report on the fly.
Success! I managed to generate a HTML report with #GoAccess from my #Apache logs.
What I now need to figure out is what all that information and all those abbreviations actually _mean_ - i.e. what will help me identify the causes for all the website downtimes. Can anyone recommend a good beginner's guide (i.e. for someone who has never had to deal with those technical aspects of website maintenance before)?
I need some quick help reading my #Apache logs.
In my logs, the date/time stamps have the format
wiki.sunkencastles.com XXX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [23/Oct/2025:20:24:06 +0000]
What is the correct option for my #GoAccess command?
EDIT: I read the manual a bit more closely, and I realized I need to specify both:
--log-format <logformat>
and
--datetime-format <date_timeformat>
I suspect the challenge lies with the former.
EDIT: Solved, thanks to everyone who replied!
