Install something like SARGE and use that to produce reports from your squid log files.

Hi,

If you want to check from linux then .. you can see below path.

cat /var/log/squid/access.log --> use this file to find out who is accessing internet and what they are doing.

Spell out your words. And if you aren't the admin, and can't install any software, then you need to tell your admins to install this, and get it working. Without admin rights on a server, there's not much you can do.

If you can copy the squid access logs to a machine you do have admin rights on, then you can perhaps install Sarg there, and run reports.
