Title: Proxy log export to text file Post by: eidii on Thursday 15 October 2009, 08:23:49 am Hi everybody,
I have an Endian Community 2.2 already installed and I would like to have an automatic export of the Web proxy traffic to daily txt file. From the console I found the acces.log-DATE.gz files in /var/log/squid folder but I need a simply log file like the one shown in the web interface in the proxy section: how to obtain it daily by crontab? Another possibility is to send a console command by a script like when in the web interface I click on EXPORT button to obtain an export of the log file: but what is this command? I need it because the owner of the company want access to this information (users intenet traffic)but I don't want to give him a very dangerous ADMIN access.....is there a way to create another user for web interface login whith read only rights? Thanks in advance for help.

The Endian log viewer is not that useful to me, my logs are often ~90MB/day and the endian log processor just isnt that efficient(aka slow). I've been working on a in house log parser for a while now. Title: Re: Proxy log export to text file Post by: eidii on Saturday 24 October 2009, 08:07:35 pm Thanks for replay.
At the moment I build a custom parser in vb.net and by winSCP I syncronize the log folder in a windows server (this is a workoround because I don't find a solution for direct access to the endial file system by vb.net ;D ). the next step is to find what the flags means. |
