how long are the squid logs kept for?
I have heard about some automated process that deletes them after a while but don't want this to happen yet. troglocate or something

logrotate covers squid logs among many many others. check the configs in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/* but generally they would typically rotate once a week, keeping 4 old logs at one time.

seems to say this:
Code:

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
So every 4 weeks a new log file is created?
Does the old one get deleted?

Please see man logrotate ;)

rotate 4 means that it will, as the comment says, keep 4 old logs. the fact that it is done once a week is defined by the "weekly" directive, which will be somewhere else in the file.
