Squid Proxy Server 3.1 Beginner's Guide

Time for action – generating stats in plain text format

Let's say we want to parse our current log file; we can use Calamaris as follows:

$ cd /opt/squid/var/logs/
$ cat access.log  | calamaris -a

By default, Calamaris generates stats in plain text format and prints them on a standard output. To output the stats to a text file, we can use Calamaris as follows:

$ cat access.log  | calamaris -a --output-file access_stats.txt

The content of access_stats.txt should look similar to the following:

# Summary
