Date Time ACL in squid for Local time

thetzawko · 10-19-2009, 05:37 AM

I want to use Date Time ACLs in squid with local time. Not GMT or UTC.
How could I configure it? I also want to see local time in access.log file and squid generated error pages.

Thanks

From what I remember, using acl aclname time [day-abbrevs] [h1:m1-h2:m2] in the squid.conf file used whatever time setting your box did - is your Linux box using GMT or UTC?

As far as parsing the logs goes, it's easier to use a tool like calamaris to generate and format a report. Alternatively, to just pull out the first, fourth and seventh fields of the access log you could do this:

Code:

awk '/192\.168\.1\.20/ {print strftime("%c",$1),$4,$7}' /var/log/squid/access.log
