NAME SquidAnalyzer - Squid access log report generation tool DESCRIPTION SquidAnalyzer parse native access log format of the Squid proxy and generate general statistics about hits, bytes, users, networks, top url and top second level domain. Statistic reports are oriented to user and bandwidth control, this is not a pure cache statistics generator. SquidAnalyzer use flat files to store data and don't need any SQL, SQL Lite or Berkeley databases. This analyzer is incremental so it should be run in a daily cron. Take care if you have rotate log enable to run it before rotation is done. REQUIREMENT Nothing is required than a modern perl version 5.8 or higher. Graphics are based on the Flotr2 Javascript library so they are drawn at your browser side without extra installation required. 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/. On FreeBSD, if make install is freezing and you have the following messages: FreeBSD: Registering installation in the package database FreeBSD: Cannot determine short module description FreeBSD: Cannot determine module description please proceed as follow: perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site make make install as the issue is related to an install into the default Perl vendor installdirs it will then use Perl site installdirs. 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. If your squid logfiles are rotated then cron isn't going to give the expected result as there exists a time between when the cron is run and the logfiles are rotated. It would be better to call squid-analyzer from logrotate, eg: prerotate /usr/local/bin/squid-analyzer endscript 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. USAGE SquidAnalyzer can be run manually or by cron job using the squid-analyzer Perl script. Here are authorized usage: Usage: squid-analyzer [ -c squidanalyzer.conf ] [-l logfile] -c | --configfile filename : path to the SquidAnalyzer configuration file. By default: /etc/squidanalyzer.conf -b | --build_date date : set the day to be rebuilt, format: yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm or yyyy. Used with -r or --rebuild. -d | --debug : show debug informations. -h | --help : show this message and exit. -l | --logfile filename : path to the Squid logfile to parse. By default: /var/log/squid/access.log -p | --preserve number : used to set the statistic obsolescence in number of month. Older stats will be removed. -r | --rebuild : use this option to rebuild all html and graphs output from all data files. -v | version : show version and exit. --no-year-stat : disable years statistics, reports will start from month level only. There is special options like --rebuild that force SquidAnalyzer to rebuild all HTML reports, useful after an new feature or a bug fix. If you want to limit the rebuild to a single day, a single month or year, you can use the --build_date option by specifying the date part to rebuild, format: yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm or yyyy. The --preserve option should be used if you want to rotate your statistics and data. The value is the number of months to keep, older reports and data will be removed from the filesystem. Useful to preserve space, for example: squid-analyzer -p 6 -c /etc/squidanalyzer/squidanalyzer.conf will only preserve six month of statistics from the last run of squidanalyzer. CONFIGURATION Unless previous version customization of SquidAnalyzer is now done by a single configuration file squidanalyzer.conf. Here follow the configuration directives used by Squid Analyzer. Output output_directory Where SquidAnalyzer should dump all HTML, data and images files. You should give a path that can be read by a Web browser. WebUrl The URL of the SquidAnalyzer javascript, HTML and images files. Default: /squidreport LogFile squid_access_log_file Set the path to the Squid log file. UseClientDNSName 0 If you want to use DNS name instead of client Ip address as username enable this directive. When you don't have authentication, the username is set to the client ip address, this allow you to use the DNS name instead. Note that you must have a working DNS resolution and that it can really slow down the generation of reports. DNSLookupTimeout 0.0001 If you have enabled UseClientDNSName and have lot of ip addresses that do not resolve you may want to increase the DNS lookup timeout. By default SquidAnalyzer will stop to lookup a DNS name after 0.0001 second (100 ms). NetworkAlias network-aliases_file Set path to the file containing network alias name. Network are show as Ip addresses so if you want to display name instead create a file with this format: LOCATION_NAME IP_NETWORK_ADDRESS Separator must be a tabulation. You can use regex to match and group some network addresses. See network-aliases file for examples. UserAlias user-aliases_file Set path to the file containing user alias name. If you don't have auth_proxy enable users are seen as ip addresses. So if you want to show username or computer name instead, create a file with this format: FULL_USERNAME IP_ADDRESS If you have auth_proxy enable but want to replace login name by full user name for example, create a file with this format: FULL_USERNAME LOGIN_NAME Separator for both must be a tabulation. You can use regex to match and group some user login or ip addresses. See user-aliases file for examples. You can also replace default ip address by his DNS name by enabling directive 'UseClientDNSName'. AnonymizeLogin 0 Set this to 1 if you want to anonymize all user login. The username will be replaced by an unique id that change at each squid-analyzer run. Default disable. OrderNetwork bytes|hits|duration OrderUser bytes|hits|duration OrderUrl bytes|hits|duration Used to set how SquidAnalyzer sort Network, User and User detailed Urls reports screen. Value can be: bytes, hits or duration. Default is bytes. Note that OrderUrl is limited to User detailed Urls reports and does not apply to Top Url and Top domain report where there is three reports each already ordered. OrderMime bytes|hits Used to set how SquidAnalyzer sort Mime types report screen Value can be: bytes or hits. Default is bytes. UrlReport 0|1 Should SquidAnalyzer display user details. This will show all URL read by user. Take care to have enougth space disk for large user. Default is 0, no url detail report. QuietMode 0|1 Run in quiet mode for batch processing or print debug information. Default is 0, verbose mode. CostPrice price/Mb Used to set a cost of the bandwith per Mb. If you want to generate invoice per Mb for bandwith traffic this can help you. Value 0 mean no cost, this is the default value, the "Cost" column is not displayed Currency currency_abreviation Used to set the currency of the bandwith cost. Preferably the html special character. Default is € TopNumber number Used to set the number of top url and second level domain to show. Default is top 100. TopUrlUser Use this directive to show the top N users that look at an URL or a domain. Set it to 0 to disable this feature. Default is top 10. Exclude exclusion_file Used to set client ip addresses, network addresses, auth login or uri to exclude from report. You can define one by line exclusion by specifying first the type of the exclusion (USER, CLIENT or URI) and a space separated list of valid regex. You can also use the NETWORK type to define network address with netmask using the CIDR notation: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/n See example bellow: NETWORK 192.168.1.0/24 10.10.0.0/16 CLIENT 192\.168\.1\.2 CLIENT 10\.169\.1\.\d+ 192\.168\.10\..* USER myloginstr USER guestlogin\d+ guestdemo URI http:\/\/myinternetdomain.dom.* URI .*\.webmail\.com\/.*\/login\.php.* you can have multiple line of the same exclusion type. Include inclusion_file Used to set client ip addresses, network addresses or auth login to include into the report. All others will not be included. It works as the opposite of the Include parameter. You can define one by line inclusion by specifying first the type of the inclusion (USER or CLIENT) and a space separated list of valid regex. You can also use the NETWORK type to define network address with netmask using the CIDR notation: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/n See example bellow: NETWORK 192.168.1.0/24 10.10.0.0/16 CLIENT 192\.168\.1\.2 CLIENT 10\.169\.1\.\d+ 192\.168\.10\..* USER myloginstr USER guestlogin\d+ guestdemo URI http:\/\/myinternetdomain.dom.* URI .*\.webmail\.com\/.*\/login\.php.* you can have multiple line of the same inclusion type. Lang language_file Used to set the translation file to be used. Value must be set to a file containing all string translated. See the lang directory for translation files. Default is defined internally in English. DateFormat Date format used to display date (year = %y, month = %m and day = %d) You can also use %M to replace month by its 3 letters abbreviation. Default: %y-%m-%d SiblingHit Adds peer cache hit (CD_SIBLING_HIT) to be taken has local cache hit. Enabled by default, you must disabled it if you don't want to report peer cache hit onto your stats. TransfertUnit Allow to change the default unit used to display transfert size. Default is BYTES, other possible values are KB, MB and GB. MinPie Minimum percentage of data in pie's graphs to not be placed in the others item. Lower values will be summarized into the others item. Locale Set this to your locale to display generated date in your language. Default is to use the current locale of the system. If you want date in German for example, set it to de_DE. Rapport genere le mardi 11 decembre 2012, 15:13:09 (UTC+0100). with a Locale set to fr_FR.
