DIAGNOSE: Your Squid log.

[cyber7]

Hi Guys

Here is a tip for you:  If you are in need of diagnosing and viewing your squid-traffic in real-time, create a script that does the following (of course you can just type the command in, but by putting it into a script, it makes for easy-recall):

(I use on all my linus systems "/scripts" for my scripts…)
The content of my "/scripts/tails.sh":

• "tail -f /var/squid/log/access.log"

(Without the "")
PS - remember to make it executable (chmod 777 /scripts/tails.sh)
ps1- you can use this format to view any of your logs in real-time :)

I use:

• tails.sh (For tail Squid): tail -f /var/squid/log/access.log

• tailb.sh (For tail SquidGuard block: tail -f /var/squidGuard/log/block.log

Kind regards
