Anyone out there use Squid Web Proxy?

Management have asked me to generate monthly html reports on each user's web usage. I've tried a few different programs like Calamaris, Squidalyser and Cyfin Reports, with Cyfan being the pick of the bunch so far.

Anyone using anything different?

I used squid when I worked at a local ISP. Works very well, the system has 2 gigs of ram so it could live-cache alot into RAM. Put it on a quick box with lots of RAM and harddrive space and your good to go.

I use sarg. It's pretty intuitive.

Thanks for that micah67, I checked the webpage and the sample reports look like just what I'm after.

Cheers

I am pretty sure you can also use squidguard for this purpose as well, I use it on a daily basis. Take a look over at http://www.squidguard.org/intro/

I just setup Squid at home, 'cause DSL is nice, but not so nice when sharing with 6-8 other users... I'm trying to figure out why SNMP won't work with it, I'd like to be able to do simple graphing with MRTG via the SNMP like I do with my switches, but I can't seem to make it work... anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?
