Many pretty graphs. For monitoring client use we ditched Sarg at the new year and now use MySAR, with a couple of extra perl scripts thrown in to do searches on the MySQL database. Now we can rotate logs daily without worrying about Sarg's weekly and monthly report cycle, and get arbitrary date ranges on reports out of the database. Since the OP is using Sarg and wants to run it every 5 minutes, I think he's right in the target audience for MySAR. This tool collects data from the Squid logfile every minute and dumps it to a database. MySAR has worked well for us, but we don't have a huge Squid installation (about 250-300 users, generating a peak of 1800 requests per minute during the workday).
