RE: [SQU] Time in log files

Thanks Paul. It might be good to have an option to have functionality to
have the current log format, AS WELL as the emulated httpd log (If not
already in there).

Couple of options Tony -- one is use a simple perl scripts to change the
time
while you view the file (see FAQ 6.6 I believe for the exact syntax). I
create a script called 'timeconv', then when I want to view the logs in real

time, simply execute 'tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log |
/var/log/squid/timeconv' This would be the preferred way, in case at any
time you wanted to use some of the many log files anaylsis tools out there -

they require the logs to be in epoch time...

The other way, which is not the preferred way is within the squid.conf file
is the directive 'emulate_httpd_log' (~line 521), which you can turn on and
the log files will then be kept in standard time and date format.

Hope this helps,
Paul
