Squid Access.log Meaning Explained

Squid access log is very informative if you know how to dig something out of it. Following is an a line from access.log file.

1201172176.719 1190 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 529 GET http://www.blogger.com/status.g? - DIRECT/72.14.221.191 application/xml

This line can be written as:

Timestamp, Total time, Source, Action/Code, Size, Method, URL, Ident,
Hierarchy/From, Content type


1: Timestamp Time when the request was completed.
2: Total time Total time taken to complete the request
3: Source IP address of the client
4: Action/Code Action taken for the request
5: Size Total size of the request in bytes
6: Method Whether the request was GET or POST
7: URL The actual request
8: Ident Usually -
9: Hierarchy/From How the object is fetched and from where
10: Content type Type of object

Action

"TCP_" refers to requests on the HTTP port (3128)
TCP_HIT A valid copy of the requested object was in the cache.
TCP_MISS The requested object was not in the cache.
TCP_REFRESH_HIT An expired copy of the requested object was in the cache. Squid made an If-Modified-Since request and the response was "Not Modified."
TCP_REFRESH_FAIL_HIT An expired copy of the requested object was in the cache. Squid attempted to make an If-Modified-Since request, but it failed. The old (stale) object was delivered to the client.
TCP_REFRESH_MISS An expired copy of the requested object was in the cache. Squid made an If-Modified-Since request and received a new, different object.
TCP_CLIENT_REFRESH The client issued a request with the "no-cache" pragma. ("reload" - handled as MISS)
TCP_IMS_HIT An If-Modified-Since GET request was received from the client. A valid copy of the object was in the cache (fresh).
TCP_IMS_MISS An If-Modified-Since GET request was received from the client. The requested object was not in the cache (stale).
TCP_SWAPFAIL The object was believed to be in the cache, but could not be accessed.
TCP_DENIED Access was denied for this request.


"UDP_" refers to requests on the ICP port (3130)
UDP_HIT A valid copy of the requested object was in the cache
UDP_HIT_OBJ Same as UDP_HIT, but the object data was small enough to be sent in the UDP reply packet. Saves the following TCP request.
UDP_MISS The requested object was not in the cache
UDP_DENIED Access was denied for this request
UDP_INVALID An invalid request was received.
UDP_RELOADING The neighbor cache is reloading its disk store metadata and does not want any TCP requests for MISSES until it is finished.


Errors
ERR_READ_TIMEOUT The remote site or network is unreachable - may be down.
ERR_LIFETIME_EXP The remote site or network may be too slow or down.
ERR_NO_CLIENTS_BIG_OBJ All Clients went away before tranmission completed and the object is too big to cache.
ERR_READ_ERROR The remote site or network may be down.
ERR_CLIENT_ABORT Client dropped connection before transmission completed. Squid fetches the Object according to its settings for `quick_abort'.
ERR_CONNECT_FAIL The remote site or server may be down.
ERR_INVALID_REQ Invalid HTTP request
ERR_UNSUP_REQ Unsupported request
ERR_INVALID_URL Invalid URL syntax
ERR_NO_FDS Out of file descriptors
ERR_DNS_FAIL DNS name lookup failure
ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED Protocol Not Supported
ERR_CANNOT_FETCH The requested URL can not currently be retrieved.
ERR_NO_RELAY There is no WAIS relay host defined for this cache.
ERR_DISK_IO The system disk is out of space or failing.
ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT The remote server closed the connection before sending any data.
ERR_FTP_DISABLED This cache is configured to NOT retrieve FTP objects.
ERR_PROXY_DENIED Access Denied. The user must authenticate himself before accessing this cache.

Methods

GET Request URL
HEAD Request only HTTP headers of the supplied URL and no document body
POST Transfer data to the supplied URL
PUT Store data under the supplied URL
CONNECT Forward data to SSL-Server:Port
ICP_QUERY Request from a Parent/Neighbor for the supplied URL
NONE Request of an unsupported method

Hierarchy
NONE The object requested by a sibling, was not in my cache.
DIRECT The object has been requested from the origin server.
SIBLING_HIT The object was requested from a neighbor cache which replied with a UDP_HIT (formerly logged as NEIGHBOR_HIT).
PARENT_HIT The object was requested from a parent cache which replied with a UDP_HIT.
DEFAULT_PARENT The object was requested from a default parent cache appropriate for this URL.
SINGLE_PARENT The object was requested from the only parent cache appropriate for this URL.
FIRST_UP_PARENT The object has been requested from the first available parent in your list.
NO_PARENT_DIRECT The object was requested from the origin server because no parent caches exist for the URL.
FIRST_PARENT_MISS The object has been requested from the parent cache with the fastest weighted round trip time.
ROUNDROBIN_PARENT No ICP queries were received from any parent caches. This parent was chosen because it was marked as 'default' in the config file and it had the lowest round-robin use count.
CLOSEST_PARENT_MISS This parent was selected because it included the lowest RTT measurement to the origin server. This only appears with 'query_icmp on' set in the config file.
CLOSEST_DIRECT The object was fetched directly from the origin server because this cache measured a lower RTT than any of the parent caches.
LOCAL_IP_DIRECT The object has been requested from the origin server because the origin host IP address matched your 'local_ip' list.
FIREWALL_IP_DIRECT The object has been requested from the origin server because the origin host IP address is inside your firewall.
NO_DIRECT_FAIL The object could not be requested because of firewall restrictions and no parent caches were available.
SOURCE_FASTEST The object was requested from the origin server because the 'source_ping' reply arrived first.
SIBLING_UDP_HIT_OBJ The object was received in a UDP_HIT_OBJ reply from a neighbor cache (formerly logged as UDP_HIT_OBJ).
PARENT_UDP_HIT_OBJ The object was received in a UDP_HIT_OBJ reply from a parent cache (formerly logged as UDP_HIT_OBJ).
PASSTHROUGH_PARENT The neighbor or proxy defined in the config option 'passthrough_proxy' was used.
SSL_PARENT_MISS The neighbor or proxy defined in the config option 'ssl_proxy' was used.
