[squid-users] Squid 3.1 access_log and log module syslog sets program-name as (squid)

[YogiBearNL aka Ronald]

Dear Squid users, 

I have a problem with Squid 3.1 on Debian
Squeeze. 

squid3 -v
Squid Cache: Version 3.1.6 

When I use the syslog
Log module for access_log the syslog lines have a funky program name
called (squid) i.s.o. squid.
This is different from syslog lines of
Squid v2. ( Squid Cache: Version 2.7.STABLE9 ).
I will provide an
example here:

Squid v2.7: 

Jun 25 08:36:37 proxy SQUID[16271]:
192.168.2.85 - - [25/Jun/2015:08:36:37 +0200] "GET
http://tpc.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-2/html/container.html
HTTP/1.1" 200 2439 "http://tweakers.net/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel
Mac OS X 10_8_0) AppleWebKit/400.5.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.2.3
Safari/427.8.5" TCP_MISS:DIRECT 

Squid v3.1.6: 

Jun 24 21:47:56 proxy
(SQUID): 192.168.2.85 - - [24/Jun/2015:21:47:56 +0200] "GET
http://cdn.viglink.com/images/pixel.gif? HTTP/1.1" 200 639
"http://www.zdnet.com/blog/central-europe/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh;
Intel Mac OS X 10_8_0) AppleWebKit/400.5.3 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Version/5.2.3 Safari/427.8.5" TCP_MISS:DIRECT 

When I try to parse the
syslog lines, the ones with the (squid) as a program name fail because
there are not normal syslog lines.
Why is this happening ? And is this
fixed in a later release ? Or maybe it's some configuration problem
?

squid.conf (interesting parts only) 

logformat combined %>a %ui %un
[%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st "%{Referer}>h" "%{User-Agent}>h"
%Ss:%Sh
access_log syslog:local7 combined 

I've googled around and some
other guy had the same issue:

Thanks,

Ronald
