While the given example log entry unfortunately does not show it, an
IPv6 address does use hex digits, ie. the address of the box I'm
writing this on is 2001:1638:1810::201:2ff:fe0d:6cec, which would not
be matched by the pattern (::ffff:)?[:0-9.]+ used above (and the other
rules I didn't quote).
Thus a correct pattern to match an IPv4 or IPv6 address would be:
[0-9a-f.:]+
