Objects are stored in the cache. This has several forms. Most use a
directory structure.

The swap.state is a journal of the currently stored objects.

The *.log files are logs of things that have changed.
store.log shows what has been added/removed from the cache, and when.
access.log shows details about who is using the cache and for what.
cache.log show administrative information about problems, and if set
debugging information for tracking down problems.

I take it you mean all the zeros there. They mean one of a few things.

1) no traffic is going through your Squid. nothing to be cached.

2) you are using memory-only cache. nothing gets stored on disk.

3) you have configured "cache deny all". nothing allowed to store
