I want to get upto the minute statistics on the status of my proxy. What do you guys use to monitor your proxy, and if you use squid-graph how have you setup things to monitor your proxy continuously to provide upto the minute statistics?

Use the crontab to get the statistics with minute status.

Is this true or just an example on thier documentation site? I have actually disabled my access.log file and made the output >goto /dev/null

If you direct the access.log entries to /dev/null ,then no requests will be monitored.
If you want to rotate the squid access logs daily then use the cron.daily
It will rotate the logs daily.

>after reading an article on how this file will overload your disk after a while, due to all the requests being logged here.
