Well you can always use the tail to see the last line generated by squid. When you use tail -f it will stay in continuous mode every last pagehit will appear at the moment the page is accessed. Uniting this resource with the grep command (there are many resources on the net about grep) you could use something like this. tail -f access.log | grep [ip_adress you want to monitor] - This will show only the pagehits accessed by the [ip_adress you want to monitor]... For more extensive monitoring (for like a day, or some hours of the day) you can try this: tail -f access.log |grep [ip_adress you want to monitor] > ipmonitor.txt This line would dump all the pagehits accessed by the [ip_adress you want to monitor] to a text file called ipmonitor.txt wich you can audit later. Hope this can help you out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benedek Frank" <benedek.frank@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 2:43 PM Subject: RE: Proxy Monitoring Question Hi Thanks for helping. I checked the link, and I like the fact to have a daily report on which user did what exactly. Nice to have that. On the other hand, I will look into Group Policies, and how to restrict direct access to Internet, and route through Proxy. Is there however a tool, that can generate a real time report, kind of like Monitoring the current access to the internet? Lets say, I can see a really high throughput on the firewall, and I would like to check who is doing what at the time. Is it possible?

For log parsing you'll probably want to look at sarg. http://sarg.sourceforge.net/ you can run a script daily to parse your day's log file and generate reports in html format, so you'll probably want to install apache on your box too.
