Linux – Date time in access.log file

linuxPROXYsquidtime

Hai,

How can i add human date and time format in squid access.log file?
What change i want to make in squid.conf file ?
I want that my log file will update with normal date and time format , How can i do it ?
If i use tail comment to view log file , i want to get human date and time format. What i want to do for this ?

Something like

perl -p -e 's/^([0-9]*)/"[".localtime($1)."]"/e' < access.log

could help you with the last part (tail-ing the log). Found it on a Squid mailing list.

cat /proc/<pid>/environ

If you want to have pid(s) of a given running executable you can, among a number of other possibilities, use pidof:

AlberT$ pidof sshd   
30690 6512

EDIT:

I totally quote Dennis Williamson and Teddy comments to achieve a more readable output. My solution is the following:

tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/<pid>/environ

You can define a custom log format in squid.conf with the logformat directive. This can then be used in the access_log directive:

logformat nourl  %tl %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %[un %Sh/%<a %mt
access_log daemon:/usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log nourl

will output a log file similar to the squid default, with time in local time and HTTP method and URL removed.
