Markus,
As far as I know, Squid doesn't rotate its log files.  You can either
write a script and set up a cron job or use logrotate
(/etc/logrotate.conf) to do this. Here is a link to some logrotate
examples you can look at:

Thanks,

Squid does rotate logs. Every time you run the command "squid -k rotate". Up to the number of files logfile_rotate is configured to save. During that process it also compacts the cache journals which can suck up disk space if not compacted regularly.

The popular distro packaged versions usually set the rotate to happen via an external application like logrotate.d though. Which can also perform compression and other management tasks easily.

Hi,

I’ve installed Squid 2.7 on a proxy server at a local school. But I still
got one problem. I need squid to keep it’s access logs for 1 year… and
wishfully start of a new squid access log every day. Is that somehow
possible ?


Thanks in advance,

Markus
