Token doesn't match specifier '%h'

Hello,

Having some trouble getting goaccess working on my NPM LXC. When I run the following command:

goaccess /data/logs/proxy-host-*_access.log -o /data/nginx/default_www/analytics.html --log-format=COMBINED --real-time-html

I get the following error: ==2458== Parsed 10 lines producing the following errors: ==2458== ==2458== Token '23/Aug/2026:08:24:24 -0600' doesn't match specifier '%h'

A few lines of the log file: [23/Aug/2026:08:24:27 -0600] - 304 304 - GET [23/Aug/2026:08:24:27 -0600] - 304 304 - GET [23/Aug/2026:08:24:27 -0600] - 304 304 - GET

I have the below lines uncommented in the goaccess.conf file. I did not make any other changes. time-format %H:%M:%S date-format %d/%b/%Y datetime-format %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z log-format COMBINED

What am I missing here?
