yeah, not really a good option, because that defeats some of the reasons why we're using spread: - don't have to have logs go to disk - don't have to deal with log rotation on an entire farm of squids - can watch/analyze logs on one aggregated file. thanks Henrik, I'm going to post on the spread-users forum. -john p.s. it might be helpful if in newer versions of squid to be able to log to a pipe, like how apache can, for error_logs: ErrorLog "|/etc/httpd/conf/error_log_spread.pl -h -g error -s 4803" ----- Original Message ---- From: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: john allspaw <jallspaw@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Squid Users <squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu Aug 11 12:16:14 2005 Subject: Re: any updates/info on using spread with squid for logging ?

Sounde like the FIFO fills up faster by Squid than the receiver can process the log entries. Another good reason why to log to a file and use File::Tail to read the data from there. Regards Henrik
