RE: [squid-users] Squid logs

Henrik, I don't use an external log rotation program. What's that and what
program should I use? Sorry I just installed squid, saw that it worked and
continued on my work on other software that needed squid to operate. I took
a look at /var/log/squid again this morning and it was as follows:

total 132
drwxr-x--x 2 squid squid 4096 Apr 22 04:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Apr 20 04:02 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 0 Apr 13 04:02 access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 6478 Apr 13 04:02 access.log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 24391 Apr 6 04:02 access.log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 0 Apr 22 04:02 cache.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 291 Apr 22 04:02 cache.log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 2618 Apr 13 04:02 cache.log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 2648 Apr 6 04:02 cache.log.3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 0 Apr 13 04:02 store.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 16661 Apr 13 04:02 store.log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 56076 Apr 6 04:02 store.log.2.gz

cache.log was gzipped and today it had a size of 0 too!

So I gunzipped cache.log.1.gz and it contained the following:

CPU Usage: 1.350 seconds = 0.930 user + 0.420 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 369
Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        total space in arena: 3374 KB
        Ordinary blocks: 3308 KB 81 blks
        Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks
        Holding blocks: 176 KB 1 blks
        Free Small blocks: 0 KB
        Free Ordinary blocks: 65 KB
        Total in use: 3484 KB 103%
        Total free: 65 KB 2%

Many thanks for your help,
Gilbert

It looks like something went wrong when your external log rotation
program last rotated the log files, or your Squid is not used.

What does your cache.log say?
