Re: Squid + Data accounting

[Brad Lay <brad@coombabah.net>]

This is what I do, but I don't use squid to do the accounting, I do it on
a per-IP basis, that way I get a more accurate account of the usage (ftp?
kazaa?). I use netacct-mysql <http://netacct-mysql.sourceforge.net/>

Check it out, pretty dahm sweet. If you're still bent on doing it on a
squid level tho, I'd suggest these few squid log analyizing programs.

calamaris - Log analyzer for Squid or Oops proxy log files
sarg - Squid Analysis Report Generator
