Ever wanted to see whats going through Squid’s cache right at the moment? But get immediately discouraged with all the timestamps, SWAPOUT, RELEASE and other cache variables?
I have a one-line for you!
~ # tail -f /var/log/squid/store.log|grep -oE '\b(http?)://[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]'
This will print out visited links that passes by squid in real time, it can be added to a bash alias for quick access:
alias squidcache="tail -f /var/log/squid/store.log|grep -oE '\b(http?)://[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]'"
Or simply run as-is for whatever reason..
~ # grep -oE '\b(http?)://[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]' /var/log/squid/store.log
