Topic: Squid Access Log

[sgscc]

Hi!

Can anyone please help me in understanding what the lines of information in squid/access.log means? Here is an exerpt:

Thu Jul 23 10:46:17 2009    383 192.168.0.5 TCP_MISS/301 538 GET http://download.cnet.com/? - DIRECT/216.239.122.164 text/html

And also, where can I find the logs of all the cached websites?

Thanks.

sgscc:

you should do some google searching.. I think you'd first know more about squid and websites caching.

You may want to take a look at the Sarg contrib.

Sarg processes your squid logs each night and creates reports of which users have been visiting which websites.

If the Sarg reports don't give you what you need, you may want to look into installing Dansguardian, which gives you a little more control over web proxy use than unmodified squid, and gives you some different reports.
