Hi Marcello!
I'im interested in rewrite my squid importer to use this new feature, it
will be much
faster, as I see. How squid behaves when there is a large flow of data
between squid and
the log reader daemon? I wrote a Squid quota daemon, but it reads the
log from the
text file, and updates a mysql table. Its fast, but when there is a lot
of data, it takes some
time.. specially when updating the quota table, some users can go over
their limit.
Sorry about asking this, but could you show me the socket part of your
code?
I have not searched about this, yes I'm lazy :-) and I dont have a newer
squid version
to test.
Thanks!

Hi, I have some experience in Perl and mysql. I can't guarantee a

willing to contribute.
Could you give me some pointers for where to start ?
look for "logfile_daemon" in squid-2.7 snapshots. Its relatively
easy from
there.

I've written a very small perl script which reads stdin and dumps it
to a text file. I've set it to be the logfile_daemon, but it seems it
doesn't get called.
I've not found much info on this configuration directive.
I must be missing something stupid...
Can you help me ? Thanks
Ok I found it. I think the comments in the squid.conf file should
contain a paragraph like the following:
# And priority could be any of:
# err, warning, notice, info, debug.
#
# To log the request via a logfile writing daemon, specify a
filepath of "daemon", e.g.:
# access_log daemon:/var/logs/access.log squid
# You may also want to change the default value of logfile_daemon to
point to
# a custom logfile-writing daemon
HTH
There is no "socket part" of any code. I'll post my logfile daemon
implementation in perl as soon as I clean it up a little (right now it's
very primitive and virtually non-configurable, but it works ;-). In the
meanwhile, here's what I did:
1) download squid source code for the latest 2.7 series;
2) look at src/logfile-daemon.c to learn how a logfile daemon should
work (it's actually quite simple)
3) write a script which continuously reads from stdin and does something
with each line it reads (the first byte is the command, the rest is the
actual log line), e.g. prints it to a file or splits it up in fields and
sotres them in a mysql table :-)
4) configure --prefix=/somewhere/in/your/home/dir, then make && make
install, and apply the config i mentioned in my previous post.
After this, you won't be able to call yourself lazy anymore :-)
