RE: [squid-users] FW: Live reports

HI

Yes I also had the same problem of not having Sarg showing any entries,
and I found out together with the Developer, Pedro Orso, that my squid
has no authentication, and sarg had the line

realtime_unauthenticated_records: ignore

and I had to change ignore to show. With that, now it shows all entries
at the realtime report as well. So to be exact, change that ignore line
to this:

realtime_unauthenticated_records: show

After that, when you restart apache, it should work.

Of course this is provided that you have squid running, and it is not
using authentication.

Its not that the log file is less than 1000 because if I put 10 in there
it gives the same error message but with 10 after the SARG: File not
found: instead of 1000

It seems that you have that line commented out which is what I had to do
to get it to work.

What do you do to view the live reports

I go to http://localhost/sarg-php/sarg-realtime.php and get a page with
some table headings but no information. I have not setup SARG to run on
its own as of yet. I will set that up and maybe it will work after I do
that.

Hi

Hmm, quite strange. Here is the relevant part of my configuration on
SARG.

# realtime_access_log_lines 1000

# TAG: realtime_types: GET,PUT,CONNECT,ICP_QUERY,POST
# Which records must be in realtime report.
#
realtime_types GET,PUT,CONNECT,ICP_QUERY,POST

# TAG: realtime_unauthenticated_records: ignore|show
# What to do with unauthenticated records in realtime report.
#
realtime_unauthenticated_records: show

# TAG: byte_cost value no_cost_limit
# Cost per byte.
# Eg. byte_cost 0.01 100000000
# per byte cost = 0.01
# bytes with no cost = 100 Mb
# 0 = disable
#
# byte_cost 0.01 50000000

As you can see, for me also realtime_access_log lines 1000 is set. Hmm,
one thing that comes to my mind. Did you make sure that you have 1000
lines in your /var/log/squid/access.log file? Hmm. I don't know what
else to suggest. For me also this was an error, and I corrected it by
reinstalling the older version and then putting the new one back.

Please let me know where else I can help,

Ben

I found where the problem is but not how to fix it. The line:

realtime_access_log_lines 1000

in sarg.conf is what is causing the error. No matter what I put in here
it gives the message of:

SARG: File not found:

Followed by whatever I put after the realtime_access_log_lines in the
conf file. However if I comment out this line it works (but not the live
reports). Could you see what yours is in your config? The rest is
working fine except that I haven't yet got the live reporting working
which is what I really want to use.

Thanks

Ray

Hi

I had that too. I don't remember how I fixed it. What is your
distribution? Mine is Debian. I installed Sarg 2.09 I believe, and it
worked like a charm. I installed it apt-get install sarg and it was very
fine. Then I saw that 2.1 had the live report function, so I installed
that on my Debian stable, but it needed new glibc 2.5, and that
completely screwed up my distro. I had to browse, and install some other
required packages, and now it seems to be stable. If you just want to
get sarg running, I sugest install the package that is suitable for your
distribution, and once it works, try to upgrade to the newest one. Sarg
is a great tool, once its working.

Let me know if you need more assistance,

Ben

Hi thanks for the reply

I have installed SARG 2.1 but I don't believe that it is working
properly. I have configured the sarg.conf file to what I want. However I
don't believe that sarg is picking it up. If I run it using the sarg
command with anything other than -h it gives an error of

SARG: File not found: 1000

Also I think that it is supposed to create a directory in /var/www/html
but only the sarg-php directory is created but not the squid-reports
directory.
I can do sarg -h and get a list of all the commands so the command is
there but just not working right. What did you do to get it to work for
you?

Thanks for the help

Hi

I use SARG and it does a failry good job both analyzing the reports and
create per user based reports, topusers, top downloads, etc. on the
other hand, the newer version, 2.1 now has Realtime reports via PHP.
That still isn't perfect, but you can see who is online at the moment.

Hi all

I have setup squid on a Red Hat 9 server using ldap authentication which
is running successfully. I would like to know if there are any
applications that can give a report on who is on the proxy at the moment
is there a way to do this? I have installed squint which gives reports
on the sites that users have gone to but this does not give current
information only analysis of the log files. Any hints on what add-on
would do this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the help
