Squid proxy servers are usually used as reverse proxies in a website environment, where 1 Squid pulls data from multiple web servers to load balance the site across the servers. This usually means that the Squid server has its set of logs, and each web server has their own set of logs. Basic environment with a squid server: Browser — | — Internet — | — Squid —- | ——- Web server 1 | ——- Web server 2 | ——- Web server 3 | ——- Web server 4 The Squid server logs the visitor s ip address (since this is the machine that the visitor is accessing), and the web servers log the squid server s ip address (since the squid server is the machine actually fetching the content from the web servers) Squid Log File Format: The native access.log has ten (10) fields. There is one entry here for each HTTP (client) request and each ICP Query. HTTP requests are logged when the client socket is closed. A single dash (-) indicates unavailable data.
