Then you must let it do so. This requires having the traffic redirected
to the proxy. Using a mirror port will not do the job as it only echoes
the traffic in a way suitable to be analysed by a packet monitor, not in
a way that a proxy can act on the traffic.

Sounds like WCCP could be an option for you. This makes the router
automatically bypass the proxy when down.

Log formats can be transformed with little or no effort, it's just text.
The tricky part is getting the right information at the right place, not
the log format.
