[squid-users] Calculate time spent on website (per ip address)

[Ron Wheeler]

You could process the logs and set some rules about what period between 
transactions should count as a single visit.
ie if ip  123.123.1.23 made requests at
9:01
9:03
9:15
9:50
9:51 and
9:54,
is this one visit of 53 minutes (total time 53 minutes) or
3 visits of 2 minutes, 0 minutes and 4 minutes (total time 6 minutes) or
2 visits of 14 minutes and  4 minutes (total time 18 minutes)

Each of these calculations is defensible and easy to do with a rather 
trivial program that reads the log.
