Re: [squid-users] any updates/info on using spread with squid for logging ?

yeah, not really a good option, because that defeats some of the reasons why we're using spread:
 
 - don't have to have logs go to disk
 - don't have to deal with log rotation on an entire farm of squids
- can watch/analyze logs on one aggregated file.
 
 thanks Henrik, I'm going to post on the spread-users forum.

 p.s.  it might be helpful if in newer versions of squid to be able to log to a pipe, like how apache can, for error_logs:
 
 ErrorLog "|/etc/httpd/conf/error_log_spread.pl -h -g error -s 4803"

Sounde like the FIFO fills up faster by Squid than the receiver can
process the log entries. Another good reason why to log to a file and use
File::Tail to read the data from there.
