Nearly all serious Squid deployments should automatically archive and process some of the cache manager reports. > Is there or has there been any discussion on a direction for providing > this sort of thing for users? Yes, there were several lengthy (but reasonably fruitful) discussions on squid-dev and even a couple of failed initial implementation attempts predating (and triggering) those necessary discussions. I believe the long-term goal is a YAML-compliant output with a stable/published basic structure that would be easy to consume using modern tools. Properly migrating to that kind of output requires a lot of basic low-level development work based on serious internal API changes that I have been unable to find enough free time to implement.
