squid log analysis using sarg
Manual installation of sarg
To install sarg manually use following steps:
- Install following packages from base, updates repositories:
- yum -y install gcc gd gd-devel make perl-GD wget httpd pcre-devel
- Download latest sarg code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sarg/files/latest/download
- At time of this writing 2.3.9 was found to work and 2.3.10 was failing on CentOS-6.x
- Extract code and use ./configure; make; make install
- Edit /usr/local/etc/sarg.conf and set following values:
- access_log /var/log/squid/access.log
- output_dir /var/www/html/sarg-reports
- date_format e
- overwrite_report yes
- Generate one time report using sarg -x
- Run sarg over cron using:
- 15 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/sarg -x >/dev/null 2>&1
- Restrict access to sarg by creating '/etc/httpd/conf.d/sarg.conf with
- <Location /sarg-reports>
- Options All
- AllowOverride All
- Order deny,allow
- Allow from 10.3.1.2
- Deny from all
- </Location>
-
- Here replace 10.3.1.2 with admin networksg
Some of the steps are contributed by Kiran Kollipara.
Sarg daily, weekly, monthly reports
By default sarg generates one report for each day or for a particular log file. It is more practical to look at weekly or monthly usage to understand Internet usage pattern of users. Thus, it might be desirable to have weekly and monthly reports along with daily reports. To setup sarg for multiple interval reports use:
/usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d month-0 -o /var/www/html/monthly-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log*
/usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d week-0 -o /var/www/html/weekly-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log*
/usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d day-0 -o /var/www/html/daily-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log*
for monthly, weekly and daily reports. These are one-time commands. To run them periodically using cron use following cron settings:
15 22 * * * /usr/local/bin/sarg -x >/dev/null 2>&1 15 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d month-0 -o /var/www/html/monthly-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log* 15 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d week-0 -o /var/www/html/weekly-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log* 15 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/sarg -x -d day-0 -o /var/www/html/daily-reports -l /var/log/squid/access.log*
where more details about '-d' option can be learned from sarg man page.
Further these different reports can be linked together by one top level HTML file such as :
<html>
<head>
<title>Sarg reports</title>
<head>
<body>
Different types of reports:
<ul>
<li> <a href="daily-reports" target="_blank">Daily reports</a> </li>
<li> <a href="weekly-reports" target="_blank">Weekly reports</a> </li>
<li> <a href="monthly-reports" target="_blank">Monthly reports</a> </li>
<li> <a href="sarg-reports" target="_blank">Default reports</a> </li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Useful sarg configuration options
resolve_ip
Sarg resolve_ip option can be used to generate sarg reports using desired names instead of IP addresses. To use a custom script following configuration can be used:
resolve_ip exec resolve_ip_exec /opt/script/name_to_ip.escript %IP
Example custom script could look like:
#!/usr/bin/escript
main(Args) ->
case Args of
[] -> ok;
[IP1] ->
case IP1 of
"10.20.0.8" -> io:format("8 in 960");
"10.20.0.4" -> io:format("4 in 960");
"10.20.0.2" -> io:format("2 in 960");
IP1 -> ok
end
end,
ok.
Please note that this is an erlang script and for this erlang package must be installed. Further "chmod +x" on script is necessary to make it executable.
useralias
The name of a text file containing the user names one per line and the optional alias to use in the report instead of that user name. User names may contain wildcards denoted by a *. Example:
ext_* outstaffers All accounts, containing ext_ in the beginning, will be represented by oustaffers alias. All their traffic will be summed up.
This option also supports regular expressions. For more details refer https://sourceforge.net/p/sarg/wiki/USER%20and%20IP%20options/
usertab
If resolve_ip is used then that is used before usertab is referred. It accepts none, filename or ldap as possible values. Example:
SirIsaac Isaac Newton vinci Leonardo da Vinci 192.168.10.1 Karol Wojtyla
For more details refer https://sourceforge.net/p/sarg/wiki/USER%20and%20IP%20options/
