So you have a line with no commas in it. Have you checked
the line that causes the error - presumably right after
the last one that printed correctly.

You are splitting by comma but I notice the IP addresses
all start with IP: so it might be easier/more reliable
to split by 'IP:' in case there are other messages with
commas but no IP addresses in them?

But even so you still need to either check the result
length or use a try/except IndexError to deal with malformed
lines.
