Here's the standard logrotate file for Squid3 which is installed on Debian (I 
doubt that CentOS should be significantly different):

-----
/var/log/squid/*.log {
        daily
        compress
        delaycompress
        rotate 2
        missingok
        nocreate
        sharedscripts
        prerotate
                test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports 
daily
        endscript
        postrotate
                test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid || 
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
        endscript
}

I suggest modifying this for your needs to:

-----
/var/log/squid/*.log {
        monthly
        rotate 4
        missingok
        nocreate
        sharedscripts
        prerotate
                test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports 
daily
        endscript
        postrotate
                test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid || 
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
        endscript
}

Regards,


Antony.

aren't original, and the parts that are original aren't good.
