[squid-users] how to obtain info about actual active downloads?

[Rafael Akchurin]

Hello Chris,

Perfect!!

I will see how this can be integrated in Surfing Now as it seems the squid manager interface make this info directly usable.
Added issue for this https://github.com/ra-at-diladele-com/qlproxy_external/issues/716.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,

You are correct about squids access_log file, but sqtop uses squid's
manager interface to report on active HTTP(S) connections.  i.e for
the download of a large (1GB) file, sqtop will report that item,
attributed to the IP & user (if known) that originated the request,
for the whole duration of the download, including current and average
speed.  It answers the question "who is using proxy bandwidth *right
now*?" compared to other reports that analyse logs and report on
historical usage.

The screenshot on sqtop's page should give you an idea of what it
presents:

Hopefully that makes it clearer?
