For a realtime monitoring you use following command.

Code: Select all

tail -f /path/to/your/access.log
and for a graphical view of your logs you can use Sarg or Squint.

squidview is also a good tool for monitoring realtime logs.

wsalam,

for realtime monitoring you can use ommand

1)
tail -f /your/squid/logs/access.log
for selected IP
tail -f /your/squid/logs/access.log | grep IP-ADDRESS
but it is only for http monitoring. With use of tail only can monitor downloaded links.

2)
for realtime network monitor, use iptraf

3)
use sarg for for make graphicaly reports with detailed information.

4)
edit your crontab and add
@daily sarg
@daily /your/squid/deamon/squid -k rotate

this will generate daily basis report at 12:00AM to:
http://yourserver/squid-reports
