you will be able to get the squid-graph program to run and you must have an apache web server running but I’m not sure how to enable squid-graph to run and monitor your proxy traffic continuously and report this to an apache web page. you want to get up to the minute statistics on the status of your proxy.
As a side note, it looks like the main documenation site for squid-graph has said (http://squid-graph.securlogic.com/docs/) that in order to generate it’s stats it relies on the access.log file being used.
Use the crontab to get the statistics with minute status.
If you direct the access.log entries to /dev/null ,then no requests will be monitored.
If you want to rotate the squid access logs daily then use the cron.daily
It will rotate the logs daily.
crontab -e
*/5 * * * *
(squid-graph exceution <=> /usr/local/squid-graph/bin/squid-graph --output-dir --access_log )
It is used to get the squid-graph results every 5 minutes.
If you want to rotate the squid.logs daily,
make a file as /etc/cron.daily/squid.rotate
if [[ -x -a -f ]]
then
squid-bin-location -k rotate
done
