Hallo,
I have been using squid for about 3 years now for normal web
caching and url filtering in our company.
I have written a small perl script to be used as a logfile daemon, which
stores the access log entries in a mysql database.
I'm currently using it in our company and I've also received requests
from a few people that were looking for a mysql access log solution for
squid.
So far the script is working well, but mine is a low traffic scenario
(15 clients), so I'd like to see it tested in more demanding
environments to find out bugs or performance bottlenecks.
Also, some of the views contained in the DDL script accompaining the
daemon were written as an excercise, while some other provided useful
information for my own requirements. The list of views could be expanded
or modified based on other people's requests.
The last line on my TODO list is how to deal with database growth.
Currently there is no consolidation routine, so the database has to be
cleaned by hand.
I have some experience in mysql and postgresql, so I'm planning to write
a version of the script for postgresql also.
