[squid-users] Re: logs analysis

Hi Tony

I look forward to seeing your work!

WRT log files, I rotate the squid log every week, and keep a compressed
backup of it. Right now it is halfway through a quiet week (summer holidays)
and the squid log is currently at 1472491 lines. In a busy week, we can
expect > 10 million lines.

I would like to see a more elegant output. Many analyzers I have seen output
to ugly tables. I know it doesnt change the data, but it's the kind of thing
managers like to see :o)

Regards,

Chris
