[SOLVED] Where to configure squid log format please

Hello,

I'm searching a way to reconfigure squid's default log to include date and time instead of time since squid start.
The normal config string would be```
logformat squid %tl %6tr %>a %Ss/%03Hs % <st %rm="" %ru="" %un="" %sh="" %<a="" %mt<="" pre="">Is there anyway to make this persistent even after pfSense upgrades ?

Regards,
Ozy.</st>

Well I found, so here's the ugly hack.

In local cache, activate Cache Dynamic Content and add the following in Custom Refresh Patterns

logformat special %>a %[ui %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st %ss:%sh<br="">access_log /var/squid/logs/access.log special</st>

There are already predefined logformats like the special here so you could actually just add access_log /var/squid/logs/access.log common but in my case, I can play with the format.

Also, log into ssh and launch

service squid.sh restart

to see whether there are error messages or not.
