Squid can send log lines to any TCP or UDP receiver which is able to 
handle line-oriented records. AFAIK statsd is one such agent.

Say you have the statsd configured to receive on localhost port 1234.

That would be configured in squid.conf as:

  access_log tcp://localhost:1234 my_metrics


Since I don't know what input your statsd is expecting I am not able to 
provide a logformat right now. But since you are already parsing and 
converting the file it should not be too hard to figure out yourself.
