Thanks!
Netflow is much larger.
I really want to know exactly what site is costing my users data. Many of
our users are on metered connections and are paying for overage, but I can't
tell where that overage is being used. Are they using youtube, webmail,
wetransfer? I see only a fraction of their actual proxy usage in my squid
logs.
Data compression would give the opposite result, so that's not what I'm
seeing.
Any other ideas?
Is there any traffic that is not directed to Squid?
Do you use ssl-bump in bump mode ?
If not, Squid has no idea how many bytes go through the (HTTPS) tunnels.

Hello all,
I'm analyzing my squid logs with sarg, and I see that the number of
bytes reported as used by any particular user are often nowhere near
the bytes reported by netflow and tcpdump.
Which is larger?
I'm trying to trace my users' data usage by site, but I'm unable to do
so from the log files because of this.
Well, what is it you really want to know?
netflow / tcpdump will give you accurate numbers for the quantity of data on
your Internet link - I assume this is what you're most interested in?
Squid will show you what quantity of data goes to/from the clients, but is
that really important?
Can someone please explain to me what I might be missing? Why does
squid log report one thing and netflow and tcpdump show something
else?
Data compression?
HTTP responses are often gzipped, so if tcpdump is showing you smaller
numbers of bytes than Squid reports, that's what I'd look at first.
Antony.
