@hmmatos I’ve pushed a commit that enables the ability to output live stats from a stream or an unclosed STDIN, i.e., tail -f as well as parsing multiple logs in live mode:

goaccess --log-format=COMBINED access.log access.log.1

tail -f access.log | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED -

or even

tail -f access.log | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED -o report.html --real-time-html -

It also opens the possibility for live data filtering from the pipe such as:

tail -f access.log | grep -i --line-buffered 'firefox' | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED -

Feel free to build from master to test this out, otherwise it will be pushed out in the upcoming release. Thanks.
