[[inputs.tail]] does not work on nginx 1.20

[matheuscfr]

Hello guys. I'm studying about telegraf passing the data to prometheus and displaying the data in grafana. The nginx log is not passing through telegraf.

[[inputs.nginx]]
   urls = ["http://localhost/nginx_status"]
   response_timeout = "5s"
[[inputs.tail]]
  name_override = "nginxlog"
  files = ["/var/log/nginx/access.log"]
  from_beginning = true
  pipe = false
  data_format = "grok"
  grok_patterns = ["%{COMBINED_LOG_FORMAT}"]
[[inputs.cpu]]
  percpu = true
[[inputs.disk]]
[[inputs.diskio]]
[[inputs.io]]
[[inputs.net]]
[[inputs.mem]]
[[inputs.system]]

This code is working on nginx(1.18.0 - ubuntu), but on nginx(1.20.1 - centos) it doesn't. I need you to pass this log to perform the metrics in grafana.

nginxlog_http_version{agent="Go-http-client/1.1",auth="-",client_ip="127.0.0.1",host="ubuntu",ident="-",path="/var/log/nginx/access.log",referrer="-",request="/nginx_status",resp_code="200",verb="GET"} 1.1

nginxlog_resp_bytes{agent="Go-http-client/1.1",auth="-",client_ip="127.0.0.1",host="ubuntu",ident="-",path="/var/log/nginx/access.log",referrer="-",request="/nginx_status",resp_code="200",verb="GET"} 101

Hey @matheuscfr, do you know if the log format changed between the versions? Is there any error message?
