Hello, with the advice from Alex, we managed to add a custom field to the access.log, using an always matching "annotate_transaction" ACL.

We had to add the ACL on each line of our rulesets and the value inserted was the rule_name.
Then, by adding %{name}note in a custom logformat, we were able to display the rule matching each line in the access.log.

Glad you made it work! Someday, Squid will optionally add an "http_access(*) rule matched" annotation to all transactions, so that admins do not have to manually annotate all their rules.

(*) Similar breadcrumbs will be collected for other directives as well.

I am facing a problem with my actual access.log configuration.
I use this logformat for the access.log :
"logformat timereadable %tl %un %Ss %>Hs %>a:%>p %st %rm %ru %mt %<st %Sh %<A %la %lp %2tr"

It's all good to trace requests when users are authentified, the login is present into <%un>.
But I have some users which are not authentified (because of incompatiblity with their softwares) and then I don't have any information to differentiate which requests are made by each "user".

I tried to add <%et> <%ea> <%ul> <%ue>, without any success (the <%ul> just display the same as <%un> in my case).

I am searching a way to display a field which would help me to identify the requester.
For example, I use an ACL a rule file for each "user" in which several ACLs are defined. (squid/current/etc/current/rule/PXI_TESTPXI_P.conf)

Is there a way to use the "matching rule" file in the access log ?

Since many squid.conf directives are driven by ACLs, a typical
transaction often matches dozens of rules, explicit and implicit ones.
There is no %code that correctly guesses which matching rule should be
logged.

However, you can define an always-matching annotate_transaction ACL and
add it to any rule (or multiple rules). Specific or all transaction
annotations can then be logged (or sent to helpers, etc.) using %note
logformat code.

Untested example:

      acl markAsSpecial annotate_transaction category=special
      acl markAsBad annotate_transaction category=bad
      ...
      http_access allow goodClients
      http_access allow specialClients markAsSpecial
      http_access deny to_localhost markAsBad
      ...
      logformat timereadable %tl %note{category} %un %Ss ...


* annotate_transaction ACL type is documented at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/acl/

* %note logformat code is documented at

HTH,

Actually, this is the log from an authenticated user :
Sep  2 17:08:32 FPVPXI2 squid[312387]: 02/Sep/2024:17:08:32 +0200 test TCP_TUNNEL 200 10.x.x.250:51994 6765 CONNECT www.google.com:443 - 5716 FIRSTUP_PARENT 10.x.x.241 10.x.x.240 3128 326

And one from an unauthenticated user :
Sep  2 16:38:47 QFPVPXI2 squid[311234]: 02/Sep/2024:16:38:47 +0200 - TCP_TUNNEL 200 10.x.x.242:22426 6726 CONNECT www.google.com:443 - 5718 FIRSTUP_PARENT 10.x.x.241 10.x.x.240 3128 249
