That depends on what you mean by "bandwidth usage" and "content served
to the client".

The various bits of bandwidth between client and Squid is covered quite
well by logformat codes. So you can make a custom log with whatever
values you want to record about that side of each transaction. But the
Squid-to-server side of things is much more sparse.

If you really just need to know how many payload bytes were delivered to
each client by Squid, then adding up all their transactions (HIT, MISS,
ERROR, or otherwise) in your current default log will give you that
total without much trouble.

To get the more accurate total of client usage in both request and reply
directions. You need a custom log with the %st code. That includes the
message headers and the 'upload' payloads sent by the client.


To get Squid-to-server traffic count, there is the %<bs code. But that
one omits all the message and framing overheads of HTTP. Adding other
server bandwidth codes is on my todo list, but way down.

I use the SQL DB logging daemon recording %st and some custom PHP web
pages to display reports from the resulting database.
