For the squid folks out there, what do you use to analyse, or generate reports from your squid log files? :)

In an utterly unhelpful answer, I generally don't bother unless something breaks, and when it does, I use my eyes. :p

I don't doubt there are plenty of tools out there though as the default format isn't that different from Apache.

I dont mean for events, I mean for usage reporting -top sites, users etc. I'm with you on the troubleshooting front :)

Just Googled and seems like there's a bucketload. I'd imagine like with Apache the commercial ones are fairly comprehensive, and the freeware ones are very hit-and-miss.

Doubt there will be many Squid users about these parts though - you, me, Garp, Burble, and possibly Davey I'd expect.

Yeah, probably a long shot but thought I'd try my luck :) I've tried loads of the free options and just cant settle on one I like.
