Getting squid log files to another computer...

Hello all,

in the before ASL era, i had some fancy scripts to analyze my squid logs, and get statistics about who was browsing, what...

Since in ASL i cannot do this, i wanted to know..
1.Every when ASL rotates Squid's access.log
2.Can i use a script of my own to rotate access.log weekly (or monthly)
3.How can i scp it to the old proxy computer..

thank you very much in advance,

Hi Lewis,

1. ASL rotates all logfiles @ 0:01

2. you can: comment out all *squid* files in /etc/log-rotate.cfg; create a new script that does the rotating and add an entry to /etc/crontab

3. add a line to your own rotate-script that does the transfer - or better: access the firewall from the old proxy-maschine

do not use the users admin and root for remote scp, remote access is denied for these users. you can use loginuser instead. if you need root-shell access use also user loginuser and change to user root by "su -" .

bye

Lewis,
If you don't mind me asking, what script do you use to produce the reports? Can I take a look at them?
