[Sarg|http://web.onda.com.br/orso/index.html] is a reasonably nice tool for generating nice reports for your squid logs. I have only two problems with it currently.
* Dates on reports spanning weeks or months are often wrong - all the data is there but the title of the report says it only covers 2-5 days.
* Only shows reports of the percentage of traffic that was/was not served from the cache. Does not give an actual byte count. Sure it is easy to calculate it from the total but it would be even easier if it did it for me.
