NAME SquidAnalyzer v5.0 - Squid access log report generation tool REQUIREMENT perl 5.005_03 or higher and the following Perl modules: GD GD::Graph GD::TextUtil GD::Graph::bars3d; See GD and GD::Graph requirements for other needed libraries. If they are not yet include in your OS distribution you can always find them at http://search.cpan.org/ If you have Internet access from your server, you can execute the following command to install GD::Graph::bars3d and all its dependencies. perl -MCPAN -e 'install GD::Graph::bars3d' Images output format is PNG so libgd must be compiled with libpng. INSTALLATION Generic install If you want the package to be intalled into the Perl distribution just do the following: perl Makefile.PL make make install Follow the instruction given at the end of install. With this default install everything configurable will be installed under /etc/squidanalyzer. The Perl library SquidAnalyzer.pm will be installed under your site_perl directory and the squid-analyzer Perl script will be copied under /usr/local/bin. The default output directory for html reports will be /var/www/squidanalyzer/. Custom install You can create your fully customized SquidAnalyzer installation by using the Makefile.PL Perl script. Here is a sample: perl Makefile.PL \ LOGFILE=/var/log/squid3/access.log \ BINDIR=/usr/bin \ CONFDIR=/etc \ HTMLDIR=/var/www/squidreport \ BASEURL=/squidreport \ MANDIR=/usr/man/man3 \ DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/squidanalyzer If you want to build a distro package, there are two other options that you may use. The QUIET option is to tell to Makefile.PL to not show the default post install README. The DESTDIR is to create and install all files in a package build base directory. For example for Fedora RPM, thing may look like that: # Make Perl and SendmailAnalyzer distrib files %{__perl} Makefile.PL \ INSTALLDIRS=vendor \ QUIET=1 \ LOGFILE=/var/log/squid/access.log \ BINDIR=%{_bindir} \ CONFDIR=%{_sysconfdir} \ BASEDIR=%{_localstatedir}/lib/%{uname} \ HTMLDIR=%{webdir} \ MANDIR=%{_mandir}/man3 \ DOCDIR=%{_docdir}/%{uname}-%{version} \ DESTDIR=%{buildroot} < /dev/null See spec file in packaging/RPM for full RPM build script. Local install You can also have a custom installation. Just copy the SquidAnalyzer.pm and the squid-analyzer perl script into a directory, copy and modify the configuration file and run the script from here with the -c option. Then copy files sorttable.js, squidanalyzer.css and logo-squidanalyzer.png into the output directory. Post installation 1. Modify your httpd.conf to allow access to HTML output like follow: Alias /squidreport /var/www/squidanalyzer Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 2. If necessary, give additional host access to SquidAnalyzer in httpd.conf. Restart and ensure that httpd is running. 3. Browse to http://my.host.dom/squidreport/ to ensure that things are working properly. 4. Setup a cronjob to run squid-analyzer daily or more often: # SquidAnalyzer log reporting daily 0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/squid-analyzer > /dev/null 2>&1 or run it manually. For more information, see README file. You can use network name instead of network ip addresses by using the network-aliases file. Also if you don't have authentication enable and want to replace client ip addresses by some know user or computer you can use the user-aliases file to do so. See the file squidanalyzer.conf to customized your output statistics and match your network and file system configuration. CONFIGURATION See README file.
