RE: [squid-users] Outputting to SYSLOG

Hi John,

Sorry to send this reply back to the maillist, but I can't seem to send messages to your private address.

NSLOOKUP for warpix.org fails..., and I can't send an attachement to this list either....



Unfortunately, Squid won't send activity output to syslog on its own. There are other ways:.....

1) Attached is a file called requests.zip. It contains two OS/2 executables.

Use WPCREQ to send a command (via the supplied client.exe) to Squid to recieve info about active requests, .e.g.:
WPCREQ <adminname> <password> <squid port> active_requests

adminname and password are your squid management credentials. WPCREQ talks to the server on which it is running.

You can use any of the standard Squid commands with WPCREQ. I can also give you another EXE and a REXX script to tidy the outputted HTML into a text-only summary.

2) OS/2 also has other unique features that *can* allow the logging to be sent to a Syslog,
but this would not be reproduceable under Linux. A simple REXX script can be written to send the activity output to a Syslog.


Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help any more.

Regards,
Stephen
