i have not done this in particular. However, generally, if you can get
the data out somehow, you can get mrtg to graph it for you. solve the
problem in stages. and, as fooler suggests, provide more information.
if you don't provide relevant information the problem space is too large
and the only ones who will give you solutions will be the ones who are
guessing.
1. do users login with password? if they don't, there's going to be extra
work involved in mapping ip addresses and surfing times to whoever
the user was at that IP (if you're using DHCP and you have a good
inventory of MAC addresses, or if you're using fixed IPs and people
*never* change their IPs).
2. in your squid logs, can you map the particular request to a particular
user? you have to be able to do that. if you can't then you might as
well give up now.
3. what do you want to graph in mrtg? total bandwidth used? does that
include cache hits?
